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

I think you'll find Brolin as being a previous favourite as he has the typical Ezquerra style look.

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

I think you missed one there Garageman.

Haven't I seen a book or something called Chuck Norris Vs Mr T? Or am I dreaming it?

Sorry to bring people back down to reality but I thought this item was significant. It would appear Alan Grant isn't too excited by a new Dredd film:

Quote
It became clear that Grant had no real idea how likely a new Judge Dredd film was becoming. When asked, he told us that neither he nor John Wagner, Dredd’s creator, had heard anything from Rebellion or DNA and that no kind of input from the comic’s team had been sought. This, he wanted us to know, was the reason he felt the first film went so disastrously wrong. He’s clearly expecting the same from the second.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/10/24/no-director-attached-to-judge-dredd-neither-dredd-nor-lobo-producers-or-writers-consulting-the-comics-creators/

Not exactly encouraging. It's a pity Rebellion hasn't asked them for their input. John Wagner has said he's seen the script and it's better than the original Dredd script but it's not the same as Wagner being approached to work on the film or write a story treatment. Dredd is so closely linked to Wagner it seems a desperate shame he hasn't been approached. It seems Rebellion is repeating what Cinergi did - they hired their own screenwriters and the result was Stallone's Dredd film! A mess of a film. Roll Eyes Dredd 2  could be another disaster in the making. I suspect Alan Grant thinks that.

A huge mistake seeing as comics and films are very similar in many respects - being primarily visual mediums where the director takes the role of the artist in putting the visuals across.

I don't get why Rebellion and DNA Films would ignore Wagner and Grant. Surely paying them a small fee to write a treatment would be the way forward? Their treatment or screenplay could be adapted from an existing 2000AD Dredd story or be a new story. I don't get the shortsighted approach to making Dredd. I can understand an established screenwriter adapting a Wagner/Grant story, Wagner/Grant could write the story and someone else adapts it to suit the big screen but to totally ignore these writers is crazy. I doubt Wagner and Grant would want some ridiculous amount to write a story. It can't be just money that's stopping Rebellion using them? Perhaps it is. I don't get it.

I hope not. If we were, we'd be you and the world would be full of Peter clones.  Grin I know, Peter, let's go off-topic so you can avoid debating this!  Tongue

The new Dredd film will never happen. Not what Rebellion ignoring Wagner and Grant.

1: It's quite clear from Wagner's Facebook page that he's had sight of the screenplay, so, yet again, you're wrong.

2: You posted this exact same shit to the 2000AD newsgroup, Scott.

3: You're reported, fucktard. See ya!
