Duncan Jones Says “Rogue Trooper” Script Is Done

We are pretty pleased to share the news that Duncan Jones (filmmaker and all around cool dude) has confirmed that his script for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of 2000 AD’s Rogue Trooper is DONE.

Back in July of 2018, Jones (“Moon,” “Warcraft“) teased that he was working on a comic book project in film-form on his Twitter, and that it had SOMETHING to do with 2000 AD. The publisher is home to several well-known titles, like Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, and the thing Jones actually announced- Rogue Trooper.

It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten an update about the project. We had hoped to hear more after the Rebellion purchase of a studio back in November of 2018, which was supposedly to allow the company to pursue the long-awaited Judge Dredd tv series, Mega City One.

The last time we heard anything about Rogue Trooper, was January of 2019, with Jones saying:

Slowly but surely, Rogue is coming together on the page. Trying to keep it fighting fit and fat free. An action-packed taster of the crazy universe that made me fall in love with @2000AD decades ago.

So today’s tweet about the script being done, is pretty darn exciting, and makes us hope a production update isn’t far off.

And no! Rogue Trooper is DONE, and we are VERY happy with it.
Working on something different but equally cool…
