Irish actor Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) is among the stars of Rogue Trooper, an animated adaptation of the iconic 2000 AD comic adventure with Moon's Duncan Jones writing and directing.
Rogue Trooper has just completed principal photography at Rebellion Film Studios in Oxfordshire.
Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) is in the lead role of the sci-fi war story, which debuted in 2000 AD in 1981 and was created by writer Gerry Finley-Day and artist Dave Gibbons.
The cast also includes Hayley Atwell (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Captain America: The First Avenger), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Reece Shearsmith (Saltburn, Inside No 9), Jemaine Clement (Avatar 2: The Way of Water, Flight of the Conchords), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, Toast of London), Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth, Cunk on Britain), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education, Hugo) and Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings).
Rogue Trooper tells the story of "19, a 'Genetic Infantryman', who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force".
"Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack," the synopsis continues.
Writer-director Jones said: "2000 AD offers a very different flavour of comic action: political and brutal at times, but always with a Pythonesque twinkle in the eye.
"Dredd (2012) was a taste of what 2000 AD has to offer and now we get to show the world another side of the beast.
"It is a genuine privilege to be given the opportunity to make Rogue Trooper."
The film is due to be completed in 2025.
