That would be so cool! Like those saturday morning film clubs of yesteryear! I'd certainly be down my cinema every weekend to get the next installment. Ahhh - we can all dream, can't we!

That would be a great idea! But maybe just a pipe dream as you say...could it work better on TV than film though? Especially as an animation.

I watched most of Stallone Dredd last night (on Film 4). It's only the second time I've seen it...it's worse than I remember. But you noo I'd say dat.

What's all this about Hugo Weaving as Dredd? Could work I guess.

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing a while back + he's done a whole film with his face entirely covered.

Not who you'd expect - but he can certainly do authority.

Yeah, he's not my first choice, or even remotely on my radar for folks I'd have guessed at, but the more I think about it, the more fitting he'd be.

Wow, nice bit of detective work earlier, Peter Wolf - I'm impressed

I've been saying Hugo Weaving for ages. He's definately got the lower face for it, especially when he's pulling his grumpy face. Bit of bulking up wouldn't hurt though.

He's definitely a Cliff Robinson style Dredd.

I think Ron Perlman is a good bet for a likely Dredd actor, but I think people are too focused on actors with jutting or 'lumpy' chins who can do an angry tough guy grimace. I reckon they should use somebody who doesn't neccessarily look like Dredd, but has a good voice and can act, with a carefully designed prosthetic chin stuck on. It could work well with today's CGI and makeup - just look at that geezer in Sin City.

Just popped the end bit of Matrix Revolutions on, and yeah I think Hugo Weaving would be great.

I can see bits of Eastwood/Dirty Harry in Agent Smith, without it lapsing into Bale/Batman gravely voice.

As for bulking him up - I don't know, it depends on the direction they go with the costume. They deliberately went with Peter Weller for Robocop because he was slight, because someone more muscular would look podgy in the costume.

Dredd varies depending on who draws him. He can be a pinheaded arnie lookalike with one artist, or pretty lanky in the hands of another.

I think we should let Mr Ezquerra's version lead our casting in that arena.  His is, after all, the longest running and (to my mind at least) definitive version (although McMahon, Kennedy, MacNeil, Bolland etc can also claim similar status as far as I'm concerned).
