“There’s AI — the film has no AI,” says director-writer Duncan Jones emphatically about his latest feature, “Rogue Trooper.”

The subject comes up as producer Stuart Fennegan talks about how they got the stellar voice cast for the film: Aneurin Barnard, Jack Lowden, Hayley Atwell, Daryl McCormack, Reece Shearsmith, Sean Bean, Diane Morgan, Matt Berry and Jemaine Clement.

“We were actually really fortunate, for want of a better word, that when we were shooting, it was at the time when the SAG strike was happening, and obviously a big point of contention at that point was concerns for actors about AI,” says Fenegan. “Obviously, being a British movie, we were able to shoot under Equity, and contractually no AI performances in our movie at all.”
