“IndieWire: You started working on “Rogue Trooper” back in 2018, is this correct?”
“So that was how we approached it and that’s what allowed us to get the film made, I think in some ways.”
“And it didn’t do well enough and they just have never been able to get the traction to get things going.”
“Jones made four films in his first nine years as a filmmaker — “Moon,” “Source Code,” “Warcraft,” “Mute” — and since then, yes he’s certainly around on social media (particularly Bluesky), but we haven’t had any Duncan Jones movies.”
“And it got nerve-wracking about two years in and we were like, “This is not working.”
“They’ve got “Strontium Dog,” they’ve got “Slaine,” they’ve got so many really good things.”
“I probably already know the answer to this because it’s probably “money,” but why is it so much more difficult to get an animated independent film off the ground than it is just any other independent film?”
“Yeah, absolutely.”
“I mean, I hope audiences are getting what they want.”
“But I’m British and I grew up on 2000 AD.”
“International sales as a way to finance a movie doesn’t work the way it did when “Source Code” came out.”
“Making films independently, I’m kind of a curmudgeon.”
“It’s interesting that the same year “Mute” came out, Jones announced he was working on “Rogue Trooper,” an animated film based on the popular comic series owned by 2000 AD, who also owns the character Judge Dredd.”
“You can’t write it off as, “Well, it was bad, so of course it didn’t do well.” So after that, how do you still convince people to make “Rogue Trooper”?”
“The whole independent and middle ground of theatrical releases is very hard these days.”
“And then I hope the French do one, too, because they have an amazing history of comic book storytelling and I’d love to see some more French movies being made based on their comic books.”
“So I’m glad that we finally found a way to get that one off the ground.”
“This is a unique moment in time where I think a few technologies had finally reached a level of maturity, where we were able to pull off the scale in a way that we would never have been able to do before.”
“But “Rogue Trooper” was always the one that I felt like if we can find a way to make this film independently, I think it would be really worth our time, worth doing.”
“Maybe that’s a little bit weird for people, but hopefully, I have to believe that people want to see new things.”
