Judge Dredd Movie is Green Lit!

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Count Dooku wasn't the main character but a suppporting one and I assume DNA and Rebellion want a series of films starring Judge Dredd rather than just a one off splug.

A franchise tends to be the way to make money as a massive single  hit like Avatar or Titanic seem very elusive and unpredictable. Titanic was really about the end of the British Empire and it's value system with it being replaced by the less rigid American value system of exceptional individualism. Avatar (which I haven't seen yet!)of course was those incredible looking Special Effects and 3D fiming techniques, eye candy for the masses.

Anyway back to Dredd. I think it has to favour a younger man if you want more than one film so any actor in the 25-45 age range put out your chin and prepare for justice!

Really? I thought it was a crap love story.

To be honest I'd rather see a 2000AD franchise where they make a Dredd film, then Strontium Dog, then Rogue Trooper, then Nemesis/ABC Warriors, then Fiends of the Eastern Front and on...

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

It was that too pretty much!

If they do a series of 5 "TWOTH" films, they can then put them all in a DVD box set in the shape and design of an old prog complete with digital "Nerve Centre" feature. You know it must happen and is meant to be.

The big problem with an older actor playing Dredd is its going to have to be a very physical part so its hard to imagine a geniune old actor getting the part? Not to say these days you can't have an old Dredd as I'm sure make-up etc will fill do the job of aging people just I don't think we'll see an old actor playing the part?

So this guys out, then?

Not necessarily, they might need a McGruder.

I hope i dont end up preferring the Judge Minty fan film (which looks awesome by the way). They better get this right before the strontium dog movie is made...

[Teivion]

Here is a still from Minty, which is taken from Greg Staples Facebook page.
Judge Minty is going to set the bar VERY high ;-)
( Ive seen the full scene from this still, its fantastic!)

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I watched that scene as well and a tear welled up in my eye due to the moment!
It's AMAZING!

That really does look rather special. Can the Staples Droid act as well as he can draw?

[Mike Gloady]

Staples droid looks amazing in the role, I can almost hear him snear.  I'm in the older-Dredd camp myself and would be happy to see Nick Nolte or Kurt Russel take on the role.  Both could do very good things with it.

Who should direct the film?Paul Greengrass of Bourne and Green Zone fame has said he's up for directing a comic book movie.I think he would be right for the part.
Heres the quote
''The director was then asked if he would be interested in directing some other comic book film. "Yes, it's something that I feel, after Watchmen, is unfinished business," Greengrass replied. "So, I don't quite know when I'll scratch that itch, but I'm sure before I hang up my boots I will."

What do you guys think?He can do intellgent action movies,Rebellion need to give him a bell before he ends up directing Spiderman 8 or whatever.

Been gone from the site for a few weeks and I come back to see we're talking Dredd casting again. To which discussion I can only add two words.

Michael Biehn.
