Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Aneurin Barnard, Hayley Atwell and Jack Lowden lead the cast of science fiction movie “Rogue Trooper,” written and directed by Duncan Jones, whose credits include “Moon,” “Source Code,” “Warcraft” and “Mute.” The animated film, which is being created with Epic’s 3D tool Unreal Engine 5, was adapted by Jones from the comic book published by 2000 AD, home to “Judge Dredd,” “Halo Jones” and “Sláine.” “Rogue Trooper,” produced by Rebellion and Liberty Films, has wrapped principal photography at Rebellion Film Studios in the U.K.

The film is set to be finished next year. Barnard (“The Goldfinch,” “Dunkirk”) stars as the eponymous Rogue Trooper. Cast alongside him are Atwell (“Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One”), Lowden (“Slow Horses,” “Dunkirk”), Daryl McCormack (“Bad Sisters,” “Good Luck to You Leo Grande”) and Reece Shearsmith (“Inside No.

9,” “Saltburn”). Others in the cast include Jemaine Clement (“Avatar 2: The Way of Water”), Matt Berry (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Diane Morgan (“Cunk on Earth”), Alice Lowe (“Black Mirror”), Asa Butterfield (“Sex Education,” “Hugo”) and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones,” “The Lord of the Rings”). “Rogue Trooper” tells the story of 19, a “Genetic Infantryman,” who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force.

Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack.
