Production trivia

The film's visual style was developed through an iterative process using storyboards, live-action reference footage, Unreal Engine animatics and concept art.; The animation was extensively refined by hand to avoid a video game-like appearance.; Duncan Jones recorded a complete audio dramatisation of the screenplay, voicing every character himself.
