"Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a ‘Genetic Infantryman', who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack.

Based on the classic 2000 AD comic series created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons, Rogue Trooper has been written and directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code, Warcraft, Mute). It will star breakout talent Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) as the eponymous Rogue Trooper, alongside Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters, Good Luck To You Leo Grande) and Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9, Saltburn).

Rounding out the cast is an incredible ensemble, which includes Jemaine Clement (Avatar 2: The Way of Water), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows), Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education, Hugo) and Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings).

The eagerly anticipated animated science fiction feature from Rebellion and Liberty Films will complete in 2025."

"Rogue Trooper Exclusive: Aneurin Barnard Is A Super Soldier In Duncan Jones Animated Sci-Fi Movie

https://i.imgur.com/4XO3VLm.jpeg

From Moon to Source Code, and Warcraft to Mute, Duncan Jones has long since proven himself a leading light as both an intelligent sci-fi filmmaker and a director who knows a thing or two about bringing a unique artistic sensibility to ambitious, large-scale projects. And his latest, a long-gestating animated adaptation of 2000AD's Rogue Trooper sci-fi comic book series, looks set to prove the apotheosis of Jones' creative journey to date. Built using Epic Games' cutting edge Unreal Engine 5, Rogue Trooper sees Aneurin Barnard (Doctor Who) star as a lone survivor super soldier on a mission for vengeance — accompanied, naturally, by a sentient gun, backpack, and helmet imbued with his dead fellow squaddies' personalities. If it sounds wild on paper, then you ain't seen nothin' yet. Just check out our exclusive first-look images from the movie below;

Lost soldiers traversing barren, toxic wastelands? Check. A great big hulking tank-of-the-future imposing itself on Rogue Trooper's Nu Earth setting? Check. A pair of Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry voiced looting baddies called Mr Brass and Mr Bland that delicately straddle the brow of the hill overlooking uncanny valley? Check. Yeah, we're thinking Jones is back — and not a moment too soon. For those unfamiliar with Dave Gibbons and Gerry Finley-Day's classic British comics, Rogue Trooper is set on the aforementioned Nu Earth, where war rages between the fascistic Norts and the democratic Southers. Barnard then plays Rogue, a Genetic Infantryman (GI, reddit?) engineered for battle in the planet's poisonous atmosphere who, per the movie's synopsis, "finds himself the sole survivor of an invasion force." Turns out his unit have been sold out by a traitor, which is where the sentient combat kit and vengeance quest all come in. It's heady, surreal, eye-poppingly creative stuff — aka the perfect source material for a new Jones joint.

Good timing to maybe give the game adaptation a whirl, if you haven't already:

Rogue Trooper (2006)
Rogue Trooper Redux (2017)
Based on the what?
Oh, hey a non-mainstream comic. And it isn't a Frank Miller/Rob Liefeld joint.

But more to the point, why should I, a person who has never held and read a single comic book in their life, be interested in this?

You shouldn't - instead just go back to bashing every single thread with why Linux is better.

I guess a comic not made in the USA is 'non-mainstream' to you.

And no, if you don't care about comics, then you're probably not the target audience for this film, nor do you need to be. Not everything is made for you.

What a bizarre thing to say. Isn't the only thing that matters whether the movie itself looks interesting to you, not your backround with the medium the story is adapted from?

I never read these particular comics or played the game, and I'm just disappointed it's another 3D CG movie. For a moment there I hoped for 2D modeled after Gibbons' art. Frankly the screenshots don't look very good to me, and I don't really see any point to even making the movie animated if it's going for this kind of realistic look.

I was asking for a sales pitch/interest me in this concept, but apparently that didn't come across.

Then perhaps wait for more information beyond the fact that it’s based on the comic (which has been running since 1981) and who the cast is.

If it’s going to stay close to the comic, it will likely be a sci-fi action movie about a genetically engineered soldier, cloned and breed for the single purpose of fighting an eternal war on a hostile planet, out for revenge after being betrayed by his superiors. If you enjoy that kind of thing, then you might be interested in this. Which story lines or plots from the comic that the film will be about, we do not know.

That’s more or less all the information we have so far.
