We’ve got the first look at the new Rogue Trooper movie adaptation, helmed by director Duncan Jones alongside production companies Rebellion and Liberty Films.

The new Rogue Trooper movie is being co-produced by Rebellion and Liberty Films with Jones directed, while Stuart Fenegan (Moon, Source Code, Warcraft) is producing alongside Jason and Chris Kingsley (Dredd, School’s Out Forever), with Jones also co-producing.

The first still images show off Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) as the titular Rogue Trooper alongside Jemaine Clement (Avatar 2: The Way of Water) and Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows) as battleground looters Mr Brass and Mr Bland. There’s also a look at the massive war vehicle roaming Nu Earth, where the war between the Norts and Southers takes place. Another image shows off two Souther soldiers traversing the toxic wasteland.

Facial capture technology was used in the creation of Rogue Trooper, which is being produced entirely in Unreal Engine 5. Producer Stuart Fenegan said, “We are so excited to share a first look of the film and show the amazing fidelity with which the team have used our actors on set performances to drive the animated characters. That level of detail and nuance was a priority from day one.”

Here’s more of the first still images from the film:

The first still images from the film were released ahead of Jones planning an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25th (2-3PM at the Rebellion booth) during which he will meet fans and sign a limited number of the Rogue Trooper hero image.

Here’s the official blurb on the film:

An animated science fiction feature from Rebellion and Liberty Films, 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 backpack.

The Rogue Trooper movie features an ensemble cast, that also includes Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Part Two), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters; Good Luck To You, Leo Grande), and Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9, Saltburn), 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).

Principal Photography was completed in 2024 utilising the cutting-edge Head Mounted Camera (HMC) technology and expertise of Motion Grinder (Indiana Jones and The Great Circle). Imagery and animation partner Treehouse Digital (The Well) processed and applied the data to the characters within Unreal Engine 5, handing over to Liberty Films’ own VFX and animation teams to light and finalise, bringing the incredible world of Rogue Trooper to life.
