1. Duncan Jones’ Highly Anticipated Sci-Fi Film 'Rogue Trooper' Set for Completion in 2025
For fans of Duncan Jones’ early work like the BAFTA-winning *Moon*, the news of his return to the hard sci-fi genre is the most significant development. Jones has been actively working on the animated film adaptation of the classic British comic *Rogue Trooper*, a project he first teased in 2018.
The project reached a major milestone in January 2024 when principal photography was officially wrapped. The film is currently in the post-production phase, with its final completion and release expected sometime in 2025. This adaptation is a passion project for Jones, promising a return to the cerebral, character-driven science fiction that defined his directorial debut. The anticipation surrounding *Rogue Trooper* marks a major professional chapter for the filmmaker, solidifying his status as a leading voice in contemporary sci-fi cinema.
2. Alexandria 'Lexi' Jones Launches Official Art Business and Merch Line
While Duncan Jones commands the big screen, his half-sister, Lexi Jones, has been quietly building a career in the visual arts. Lexi, who is the only child of David Bowie and supermodel Iman, has transitioned from a private artist to a public entrepreneur, operating an official online store for her artwork.
Her portfolio features a vibrant collection of original paintings, prints, and print-on-demand products, including wall art, home decor, and phone cases. This venture allows the public a unique glimpse into her creative mind, which often features bold colors and expressive, abstract portraiture. The move to a formal business model in 2024/2025 signals Lexi's commitment to her career as a visual artist, making her a prominent creative force in her own right, separate from her family's fame.
3. Lexi Jones' Potential Music Debut Under New Alias 'Xandri'
The question of whether David Bowie's daughter would pursue a career in music has captivated fans for years. Recent speculation suggests that Lexi may be preparing for a music debut under the name "Xandri." While details remain scarce, the possibility of a new album surfacing in 2025 is a buzzing topic among music enthusiasts.
Lexi has previously been described as a singer-songwriter, and a throwback video shared by her mother, Iman, showed her singing, hinting at her musical talent. If the "Xandri" project comes to fruition, it would be the first major musical release from the Bowie-Jones family’s second generation, creating a new layer to the family’s artistic legacy. This potential pivot to music, alongside her established painting career, underscores her diverse creative range.
4. The Half-Siblings' Relationship and the David Bowie Estate
Despite their different mothers—Duncan from Angie Bowie and Lexi from Iman—the half-siblings share a close bond, often posting about each other on social media, particularly following their father’s passing. Duncan Jones, who is significantly older, has consistently shown support for his younger half-sister, reinforcing the idea of a unified family despite the complex structure.
The details of David Bowie's will, which allocated his estimated $100 million estate, also link the siblings financially. Bowie's final wishes directed that his residuary estate be divided, with 50% going to his wife Iman, 25% outright to Duncan Jones, and the remaining 25% to a trust for Alexandria Zahra Jones. This arrangement, which also included the scattering of his ashes in Bali according to Buddhist rituals, ensured both children were well-provided for, strengthening their shared connection to their father's legacy.
5. Lexi Jones' New Relationship and Duncan's Growing Family
On the personal front, both siblings have seen recent milestones. Lexi Jones made headlines when she recently debuted a new romance on social media with British musician Sonny James. This public sharing of her personal life is a notable step for the typically private Lexi, who spent much of her early adulthood shielded from the intense media spotlight.
Meanwhile, Duncan Jones continues to focus on his own growing family with his wife, Rodene Ronquillo. The couple welcomed their first child, Stenton David Jones (named after his grandfather), in 2016, and a second child, Zowie Tala Jones, later, continuing the family line and adding a new generation to the Bowie-Jones legacy. Duncan’s public life often balances his demanding film career with his role as a devoted husband and father, frequently sharing glimpses of his family life on social media.
The Future of the Bowie-Jones Creative Dynasty
The paths of Duncan Jones and Alexandria Zahra Jones are a testament to the diverse and powerful creative spirit inherited from David Bowie. Duncan’s work in film, particularly the highly anticipated *Rogue Trooper* in 2025, continues the family’s tradition of groundbreaking science fiction. Lexi’s emergence as both a visual artist and a potential musician under the name Xandri shows a new, multifaceted artistic voice is on the rise.
As they navigate their respective careers, both half-siblings are proving that the Bowie name is not just a relic of rock history but a vibrant, evolving creative dynasty. Their unique journeys—one through the established world of cinema and the other through the emerging landscape of digital art and independent music—ensure that the legend of David Bowie lives on through the distinct, ambitious, and deeply personal work of his children.
