Digital streaming network Rooster Teeth is releasing an ambitious new sci-fi animated series, titled gen:LOCK, featuring the vocal talents of Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Dakota Fanning (The Alienist), and David Tennant (Doctor Who), and IGN has the exclusive first look at the trailer.
Here’s how Rooster Teeth describes the series: “Fifty years in the future, an oppressive authoritarian force threatens to conquer the world. A daring team is recruited to pilot a new form of weaponized neuroscience that powers devastating mecha, but they must be willing to sacrifice everything to save the world.” In addition to voicing main character Julian Chase, Jordan’s production company, Outlier Productions, is co-producing the project alongside Rooster Teeth.
