Rogue One Cast Revealed 2112c

Rogue One, the first standalone  film, now has an official cast, and it looks fantastic. 3j4o6u

Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Diego Luna (MilkElysium), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Blade II), Jiang Wen (Let the Bullets FlyDevils on the Doorstep), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), Mads Mikkelsen (The HuntCasino Royale), and Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler) will all feature.

Alan Tudyk (A Knight’s Tale, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil) will also play a motion-capture character.

It looks like the production crew has absolutely nailed the look for this movie: the cast certainly has the rag-tag look of a group of Rebels about to take on something big.

Many of the crew involved in graphics, costume, and other visual roles have worked on similarly gritty-looking movies, so it stands to reason that this will have a darker, less-put-together look than some other  works.

We won’t know much more about the story for a while, as the movie won’t be we’ll be seeing more from the set soon!
