Production
In 2011, it was to be adapted by comic writer Grant Morrison, but the project never came to fruition due to disappointing box office takings of Dredd (2012).[citation needed] In July 2018, Duncan Jones revealed that his next project would be an adaptation of the British comic strip Rogue Trooper.[1]
In January 2024, Aneurin Barnard, Hayley Atwell, Jack Lowden, Daryl McCormack, Reece Shearsmith, Jemaine Clement, Matt Berry, Diane Morgan, Alice Lowe, Asa Butterfield and Sean Bean had joined the cast of the film. Jones was confirmed as director, writer and co-producer, and the film would be animated using the Unreal Engine 5 tool. Principal photography had been completed at Rebellion Film Studios in the United Kingdom.[2]
Release
Rogue Trooper is scheduled to be released in cinemas in 2025.[3]
