SHH! : | Rebellion and 2000 AD have announced that a new Judge Dredd movie is in development.
Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such films as Danny Boyle's Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.
Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, "We can't give away too many details at this point, but we're looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen." |
Well, this is pretty awesome! I imagine they'll just ignore the previous movie, but I can't think of too many people who'll be up in arms about that, it deviated a lot from the source material as I understand.
Thoughts on this new development? I know SIR-ROUND is gonna have something to say. _________________

"Open door, this is the law!!"
I hope they will keep in mind following things:
-Dredd should NEVER show his face
-Judge uniform from comic is better, than this one from 1995 "Judge Dredd"
-Black humor and irony MUST be present
Maybe they should use the topic of pro-democracy movement, instead of "Just Another Prep Wasted in Big Explosion, Because the Public Always Wants This Sort of Things"?

The original I thought was very good, but this series could use a re-launch. Sadl with the last Punisher movie tanking at the domestic box office, not sure this kinda film will be a success. Dredd must bring THE LAW to the lawless....

That's very good news. I was never a huge fan of 2000AD, but the character of Joe Dredd always intrigued me.
Someone with the calibre of an Ed Neumeier or Frank Darabont could come up with a dynamite script.
As for the actor to play Dredd, who knows. It would help if they had a real manly jawline, like Clint Eastwood, Nick Nolte or even Clancy Brown.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
I don't think they should cast a big name a Dredd though, someone who will demand face time. Just get a stunt guy that can act decently enough (Not to hard to top Stallone [Yo, Adrian]) and maybe get a few bigger names in supporting roles, like a bad guy or Chief Judge or something.
Behind Robocop, this in probably the other property that I'd like to see a great remake/adaption of.
Just don't take the fucking helmet off...

I bet, that new Dredd's face will be visible... Hollywood have bad habit for screwing up some things...
And please, don't do just another police thiller, this time placed in MC-1. The most fun thing about Dredd is the ultrauthoritarian rule of Judges and satire on contemporary police' survillance etc.

As some other sites have also mentioned this is the third time they have tried to make a new Dredd movie.
Joblo.com : | Way back in 2001, Rebellion announced plans for new back-to-back JUDGE DREDD flicks, one involving corruption in Mega City One's legal system and the other pitting Dredd against the notorious supernatural Judge Death. Then in 2004, a new production company reported they were scrapping previous scripts and starting from scratch. |
Who knows, maybe it'll actually happen this time

Frankly, I didn't grow up with the years of baggage and expectations for the first Dredd film, and I flat out loved it.
I actually prefer the costumes from the film over the comic version, but I agree that Dredd shouldn't take off the helmet.
But then again, even Robocop took off his helmet... and his was bolted on.
