Moon director Duncan Jones' long-planned adaptation of sci-fi war comic Rogue Trooper has completed principal photography. As revealed by Variety, the feature - hinted at in a teaser video back in 2018 on Jones' Twitter - is now taking the form of an animated adventure starring Mission: Impossible's Aneurin Barnard, Agent Carter's Hayley Atwell and Slow Horses' Jack Lowden.
The Rogue Trooper film, based on the strip of the same name from British anthology comic 2000 AD, tells the story of 19 (Aneurin Barnard), a blue-skinned super soldier fighting in a relentless future war. 19 is the sole-survivor of an invasion who must find the traitor who sold his comrades out. He's not alone, however - helping him will be the minds of three of his killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities are digitally preserved in his gun, helmet and rucksack.
