Grant Morrison writing ROGUE TROOPER movie

Comic BookMovie by

200AD's Rogue Trooper is being developed for the big screen. Bleeding Cool reports that Grant Morrison is set to adapt the comic book character for Sam Worthington's Full Clip Production. This marks the third comic book project in development from the company, who were also attached to adaptions of Damaged and Last Days of American Crime

There have been recent reports that Mark Millar is Scotland's number one comic book writer. Here is what Morrison had to say in response: 

“Mark does his thing. He creates comic books and tries to sell them as properties, but I write movies. They are different things. I live over in LA and write for the studios. Mark was my protégé for 10 years and has gone on and done stuff. We both do our own thing.”

From a fans perspective, there is plenty of room for both of them in the market, and I look forward to more from them.

Here is a description of the comic:

Rogue Trooper is a science fiction strip in the British comic 2000 AD, created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons. It follows the adventures of Rogue, a G.I. (or Genetic Infantryman, a genetically modified, blue-skinned, manufactured elite soldier) and his three comrades' search for the Traitor General. His comrades are in the form of biochips (onto which a G.I.'s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval) and are named Gunnar (mounted on Rogue's rifle), Bagman (on his backpack) and Helm (on his helmet). He is genetically engineered to be immune to almost all known toxins. He can submerge in strong acid unaffected, and is able to withstand a vacuum in his bare skin.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this comic will make a great movie?

No author bio. End of line.
