As the saying goes, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did backwards and wearing heels. And in Megan Fox’s new movie, a mercenary thriller called Rogue, it looks like the former Transformers star is going to do everything Chris Hemsworth did in Extraction, but with killer lions thrown into the mix. Check out the new trailer below.
Rogue Trailer
I love how the trailer makes this out to be just another boring extraction storyline that you’ve seen in a million movies and probably played through in a million video games before. But the lions are an X factor I didn’t see coming, and I have to say, I’m into it. Yes, the CGI often look goofy. But the whole thing has a throwback vibe that I’m kinda digging.
Rogue is co-written and directed by M.J. Barrett, a trans filmmaker who wrote and directed films like Solomon Kane and Silent Hill: Revelation, and has directing credits on action-heavy shows like Strike Back and Ash vs. Evil Dead. She’s also directing multiple episodes of Showtime’s long-in-the-works TV adaptation of the mega-popular Halo video game.
Here’s the film’s official description:
Rogue will be available digitally and On Demand on August 28, 2020, and for those of you who still prefer physical media, the film hits Blu-ray on September 1, 2020.
