The Rogue Trooper movie could make or break Unreal Engine as a tool for filmmaking

Rogue Trooper movie.

Just four images from the Rogue Trooper movie have been released, and they're already causing controversy. The eagerly awaited adaptation of the classic comic strip from 2000 AD is due for release this year. There's still no trailer, but the brief glimpse provide this week is enough to cause both excitement and concern among fans.

Written and directed by Warcraft director Duncan Jones, the movie looks set to be a test for a new approach to filmmaking that could transform what's possible on an indie budget. As far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong), it will be the first major feature-length film to be entirely animated in Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), Epic Games' popular game development software.
