Just picked this up this morning - Grant Morrison penning script for Rogue Trooper for Sam Worthington's production company.

Early days, but Squeee?!

What happened to my 'edit' button.

Anyway, some of you sharper guys may have spotted that this is already out in the News section.

Yeah, but reading through, it was not looking more than a rumour. So either Empire are either sucked into it or there's something official floating about.

Hard to say and it could be a loooong time before we hear any more news.

Grant Morrison writing Rogue Trooper? Hard to imagine, but he'd pull it off.

I would go with the war and start up of the GI's being explained before the titles. When the titles start we are in the mission brief for the drop onto the Quartz Zone, as the directors name is on screen we watch Rogue strap into his drop pod, then fade to black and silence.

A couple of seconds later we open up with explosions and fire as the drop pods enter the atmosphere. From then on it's action all the way, till the end.

The ending could be the reveal about the traitor general, leading up to a sequel  :thumbsup:

Of course there's no actual journalism from Empire here just copy & paste.

Who needs journalism when we have unsubstantiated rumours?

I say we let the various websites and journo's of the world repeat the rumour until it gains enough critical mass to become reality.

Or we spread these rumours ourselves, build up our hopes and watch them get cruelly crushed by an uncaring movie industry and then we all commit suicide a la Jim Jones?

Kool Aid on standby.

When did that ever work for Dredd? Until now, that is.

Yes! I'd be happy with Worthington being Rouge, he's action hero material without being too much of a dick.

As for this comment from Empire...

"I'd like to see Rogue Trooper directed by Zack Snyder in the style of 300"

Gunnar? Head shot, now!  :lol: Seriously, the 300 style got old very quickly, it's the style of a Guiness advert.
NEGOTIATION'S OVER!

We're arguing if Rogue should be blue not red :)
