Rooster Teeth’s new animated series gen:LOCK from Grey Haddock is a near-future sci-fi fantasy set in a world where war is waged with hulking, humanoid mechas operated by hotshot pilots.
The anime which inspired gen:LOCK are written all over the show, and its hero, Julian Chase (Michael B. Jordan) immediately reads as exactly the kind of character you’d expect to be heading up the fight to save humanity.
Including a hacker played by Maisie Williams. In the new teaser for Rooster Teeth's Gen:Lock, David Tennant's Doc is looking for new recruits. In the war for survival, anyone who can properly synchronise with one of the doctor's machines seems to be a candidate, which means even the lowly cooks and illegal hackers of the world are up for grabs.
Gen:Lock, the newest series from Rooster Teeth, is a bit shrouded in mystery.
We know there are giant robots and some big names, but we’ve seen scant little of the intriguing series in action. This new teaser gives us a bit more to go on.
Michael B. Jordan, noted anime fan, is kinda-sorta getting to star in an anime! Only kinda-sorta though, as it's anime-inspired rather than you know, actual anime, but still! Michael B. Jordan gets his own giant robot!
Ever since its debut in 2013, Rooster Teeth's fantasy-action series RWBY has amassed a devoted mass following of fans who thrill to the series' high-energy fight scenes. Now, the people making RWBY will be branching out into giant mech sci-fi, aiming to tell cool stories in a whole new genre.
