Rogue Trooper Movie

[Inso]

It looks like there's going to be a Rogue Trooper film soon... casting has been confirmed, at least:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8707622/

It will be interesting to see how this one pans out because everyone will have their view on why the lead actor is wrong or perfect for the part (I've not heard of him before...)

I guess if it's successful, it will open the door for other possible films from 2000ad comics...

I love Rogue Trooper. The video game that came out 10-15 years ago was a lot of fun too.
Hopefully, this'll spur Warlord to release some RT models.

Excited by this. Wonder what sort of animation style they will go with?

[JollyBob]

Oh I so want this to be good...

Plus points, involvement of original artist and writer, Duncan Jones is pretty good, Sean Bean! (Now we can play the "when does he die?" drinking game), and a very distinctive voice cast.

One can hope........

Excited by this. Wonder what sort of animation style they will go with?

Apparently it is using the latest iteration of the Unreal engine so should be as good as any of the top video game releases lately.
Apparently this is a still from the film:

ohhh that brings back memories...

and the style of that image is just right

something to look forward to for a while

Man, I had no idea this film was happening, thanks for bringing it to attention

Looks good, promising cast. Cautiously optimistic on this one.

[Malebolgia]

Ah Sean Bean as well! One death confirmed.

I saw that but feared it was a clickbait thing and resisted clicking. Hot damn. I just bought an old Rogue Trooper board game as well. Looks like I have some painting.

I don't suppose anyone knows what it'll be released on/via?

[Mr. White]

I have a hard time believing that is a still from the film. A quick piece done up for promotion, sure, but a still from the animation? That claim seems sus....
