"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

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)
