We want to keep that domestic affair as much as possible. We’re also currently scouting filming locations in the UK to film it. He’s got a lot of experience with Dredd and this world. The writer that’s working with the team-we’re not having a principal writer-but he’s working with the rebellion team, is Rob Williams who writes Judge Dredd for us. Michael: Basically, the script for the pilot episode is done, it’s been completed, and the first two seasons have been plotted out ready to be scripted out. Now, I heard you guys were going to have a Dredd exclusive popping up here at the con? It’s such an amazing book and an amazing character and I imagine it shouldn’t be out of option very long. I understand that option has lapsed so, they’re probably looking to re-option it with someone else. Part of the problem is it’s creator owned, so I don’t have chatter room verse because John (Wagner) and Arthur (Ranson) basically deal with it. Michael: It was optioned for many years and JJ Abrams’s Bad Robot optioned it 2 or 3 years ago, I think. Your associate had said that it was getting optioned for JJ Abrams? I got introduced to the Button Man, I’m already in love with the character. Rogue Trooper felt like the right fit for what we wanted and for he wanted to do.

He’s not been shy about making his desire to make a 2000 AD movie quiet. Michael: I can’t really say because the discussions were long and ongoing. You said the decision to do Rogue Trooper, he (Duncan Jones) was kind of warming up to it, was there something else that he was planning on approaching you guys with? I didn’t really know much about the Rogue Trooper character before walking over here but your associate explained him to me and I thought, “That’s dope”. I’m a huge fan of Duncan Jones, he came out with Moon and Source Code, so I really think it’s great that he’s coming back. We have people, lots of people, coming up to the booths-professionals and fans alike-they’re really excited. Michael: He’s sort of doing a little poem and reveals that he has a blue mohawk and on and anybody who’s a big fan of Rogue Trooper immediately knew who it was and then we announced it on Monday.

Michael: The first teaser was him saying that he was going to doing a comic book movie and the second tease was a little video – you probably saw it on Twitter – with his little mohawk.

It worked really nicely, he came up with a plan to do little teasers. In our discussions, it slowly settled on Rogue Trooper as the property that he wanted to do, so the deal was signed just before San Diego and Duncan said that – and he couldn’t be here – he wanted to get the news out and we were fine with that. He’s a huge 2000 AD fan, from when he was a kid, and he’s been looking for -hoping for – an opportunity to do a movie based on one of our characters. Michael: We’ve been talking to Duncan for quite a long time. I was talking to one of your associates about Rogue Trooper.Īnd I know Duncan Jones just got announced as director for that film, so I was wondering – why did you guys decide to choose Duncan Jones or did he come to you? We also spoke about other potential characters they have lined up, and the recently announced Rogue Trooper movie coming from Duncan Jones. While attending San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, I was able to chat with 2000 AD‘s Michael Molcher, about their upcoming projects that include the highly anticipated Judge Dredd series, Judge Dredd: Mega-City One.
