Sniper Elite and Aliens vs. Predator developer Rebellion is marching into the film and TV space with its $100 million acquisition of a former print works, which will be converted into a studio for two upcoming productions: “Judge Dredd: Mega-City One,” a television series starring the iconic law enforcement officer, and film “Rogue Trooper,” another 2000 AD comic property that will be directed by Duncan Jones (“Warcraft”). Rebellion co-founder Jason Kingsley says they may be dabbling into VFX work as well.
The Kingsleys were producers on the 2012 feature film “Dredd,” and the hard-hitting lawman will return in TV series “Judge Dredd: Mega-City One.” That will be produced by Rebellion Studios, which, with pilot script in hand, is talking to potential broadcast and platform partners. The Rogue Trooper film features the titular blue-skinned, genetically engineered super-soldier, and is being developed in partnership with Duncan Jones and Stuart Finnegan, who are directing and producing, respectively.
