After years of teasing, 2000AD and Duncan Jones' Rogue Trooper film is finally a reality and has finished principle photography. The news also shed more light on the hyped film, with 2000AD revealing it's an animated feature and will use Unreal Engine 5 to bring the war torn world of Nu-Earth and Rogue's quest for revenge to life.
Writer and director Duncan Jones is a well-known fan of the comic strip, co-created by artist Dave Gibbons and writer Gerry Finley-Day. The 2000AD strip became popular in the 1980s but has remained a staple of the UK comics scene ever since. The story follows 'Rogue', a genetic infantryman fighting on Nu-Earth, in pursuit of the traitor who sold him and his comrades out; the soldier's 'buddies' personalities have been transferred into Rogue's kit - his helmet, gun and backpack are sentient.
