Exciting news. I hope they stick a LOT closer to the original stories and characters this time out.

Yeah, what I mean by not bad for a Dredd movie, is more along the lines of it getting made, not whether it was what we wanted, or what effect it would have on Dredd.

On the upside of the Stallone film, it's a good way to point out to backers that they've already tried going a particular direction, and it didn't do well, so hopefully *if* it gets made it's going to be truer to the original than that.

Would anyone here feel different if BBC Films got a hold of the Dredd movie? Because I'm suprised they've never thought of the idea of getting a hold of it and making a movie themselves.

Its possibly a good idea but its an idea that has never crossed my mind before.

Howver i wouldnt want the BBC to go anywhere near it under its current controllers and directorship because the BBC has gone downhill so much since Greg Dyke resigned in 2003.

Hmmm Dr.Who v Dredd - that might be one for the faceoff thread.

Clancy Brown could play Dredd.

[ThryllSeekyr]

Clancy Brown can have that role if Ron Perlman doesn't get it.

Thats if they are even making a film.

If dead actors could be brought back to life, then I would choose Chuck Connors. I think a ex-basketball or baseball star who was also in alot cowboy films.

He has the Fargo chin.

Have we come back around to actors? Oh good.

Ahh, so long as we can have Diane Lane back as Hershey... hubba hubba!

[Judge Fun]

Obviously Chuck Norris is the only man qualified to play Dredd AND he should do it with full beard!!

[SmallBlueThing]

Chuck Norris as Dredd? ONLY if Mr T gets to play Giant- and they have a fight.
