Less than 24 hours after
Disney's chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced during a shareholder meeting that
director Gareth Edwards Star Wars standalone film would be called Rogue One and
that Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) would be
starring in it, the first rumor/details of the upcoming standalone
are already being unveiled.
SlashFilm has the scoop and according
to them a piece of concept art for the film was showed during the shareholder
meeting, and if featured:
- The concept art was a gritty
“dark/gray image”: “very dark and done in greens, so it evoked the idea that it
was being done under the cloak of night.”
- The art showed 4-5 armored,
soldier-like persons on the ground, “with two to three ships in the
background.”
- “Dozens of figures in fatigues appeared to be
storming something with a strange helicopterish vehicle (open on the sides) in
the background, releasing more troops.”
- There were tough-looking
vehicles too.
- Ships “seemed a bit bigger
than X-Wings”.
- “More like a transport ship
of sorts” but probably not as big as the Tantive IV (the transport
ship we see Darth Vader board at the beginning of A New Hope).
- The characters were all
“generic” looking “wearing the same dark outfit.” “I didn’t see anything that
would distinguish them as individuals.”
- When I asked LA Times
reporter Daniel Miller if they looked more like Rebel Alliance fighters in
orange jumpsuits or a band of bounty hunters, he replied: “Neither. They were
masked but not whimsical looking like those bounty hunters (I realize whimsy &
mercenaries don’t go together).”
