Judge Dredd has two movies of varying quality, but attempts to follow the 2012 version with a TV show appear to have sputtered out.
But Dredd is not the be-all and end-all of 2000 AD (real ones know he wasn’t even in the first issue), and later this year, director Duncan Jones (Moon) will translate another beloved character from the printed page: Rogue Trooper, the teaser for which was released earlier today.
Created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons, Rogue Trooper is a future war story set on the toxic hellscape that is Nu Earth. The planet is fought over by the Southers and the Norts, who have both used so many chemical weapons that the only way to survive on the surface is in an environmental suit. Except for the Genetic Infantry, blue super soldiers engineered by the Southers to survive the poisonous atmosphere.
The GIs were betrayed by a rogue Souther general, and only Rogue (Aneurin Barnard, Dunkirk) is still alive. But the personalities of three of his former comrades—Helm (Daryl McCormack, The Wheel of Time), Gunnar (Jack Lowden, Slow Horses), and Bagman (Reece Shearsmith, The League of Gentlemen)—travel with him as biochips integrated into his helmet, rifle, and backpack as he hunts down the traitor responsible for their deaths.
The film is a mix of hand animation and some motion capture. “As far as the visuals went, it’s a combination of things, keeping in the spirit of the artwork from the comic book,” Jones told Deadline. “… We had a lot of fun with these ridiculously gigantic vehicles, because the story takes place in a fairly small environment. But the scale of it, I think, we sell with these giant vehicles and these fun action moments, especially the big tank at the start of the film, which is our Bond-like set piece to open the movie.”
Rogue Trooper is set to release later in 2026.
