Thats great to hear.

I was getting worried that it would be one of those things that was planned and then got forgotten about.

Absolutely, their time was over when Bolland stopped drawing them...Quantity over quality.

I refer the learned gentleman to My name is Death and suggest that his mouth is full of wrong. I see your Bolland and raise you an Irving.

  It's a way off yet, but it looks like it'll happen.

It looks that way but unfortunately with films nothing is guaranteed.

Lots more hurdles to go over yet.

Wasn't that just a rumour that came about because he was photographed with the 2000ad guys at San Diego last year?

Still, not a bad choice.

I say No no no no!  ;)

I refer to the summation of writing and art, not the art alone. After Judge Death Lives, is any Judge Death story worth reading as a vital addition to his mythology? I did not think so. Of course, the Irving droid earned his oil ration on that occasion.

Young Death?  Not  that I'm a fan, personally.

A CGI movie would probably end up more expensive than a live action one.
Only way this movie will happen, in the current financial climate, is as a low-budget B-movie, which incidentaly is exactly how i want it!
More focus on story and characters than showy effects.

I don't really see story and effects as exclusive though. The latter is just the wrapping from the former. Or should be.

Not that I think a low budget Dredd is a bad idea. Done the right way, it's surprising how effective such a world can be... and even how decent the affects are!

I thought 'Judge Death' as a possible inclusion in the new movie would stir up a lively debate again (while the film is in preproduction limbo).

How about Chris Nolan directing. He'd handle an intelligent story like 'America' really well. Nolan directing and an ace sound track by Massive Attack would be my dream team for the film.

While watching terminater 2 I tried to imagine the t2000 as a Judge.

Robert Patrick or even the Guv'ner Arnie would have been both good as Dredd. Liquid metal Judges! There's a story line there for someone to explore. 

I always think 'heavy duty urban commando' when I think of Dredd. The closest I seem to get to my filmic vision of old granite face in the Mega City is the 8 minute 'Halo' short allegedly made by LOTR's Peter Jackson as test film for the proposed Halo Movie. I like the sort of hand held camera feel to things particularly in the urban conflict bits. Change the Brutes for Street scum and your almost there.

Anyone think Stephen Lang who played Col Quarich in Avatar would make a good Dredd?

The Halo short was by Neill Blomkamp, who was in the frame for directing the Halo movie, then the makers got cold feet, and he went on to make District 9.

Also worth looking at his shorts, Alive in Joberg and Tetravaal.

But yeah, I think that style would be good for Dredd.
