It Took Duncan Jones Nearly a Decade to Get Rogue Trooper Off the Ground

Duncan Jones, the filmmaker behind Moon and Mute, spent almost ten years getting his animated adaptation of Rogue Trooper made before it reached TIFF. His account of the delay, as he tells IndieWire, isn't a tale of one dramatic setback: sometimes, he says, that is simply what the vision entails. Ten years is a long time to hold on to a particular idea of a film, and that kind of patience rarely shows up on a release schedule.
