Is thirteen years long enough to forget a grievous wrong? Well, the creators of Judge Dredd are about to find out because the powers that be have officially greenlit a follow-up to the 1995 travesty, more than a decade after it first polluted our screens.
For such an iconic character in British comics, Dredd was horribly portrayed by Sylvester Stallone in the Danny Cannon film. The bright lights and myriad perps of Mega City One wasted on some bilge that saw Dredd banished to the Cursed Earth within the first hour by Armand Assante’s evil clone and inexplicably introduced Rob Schneider as a comedy sidekick. In short, it was Dreddful. Hope springs eternal, though, and Danny Boyle’s DNA films has snatched up the rights to return the famous Judge to our screens in a story that remains so far under wraps.
With decades of Dredd canon to choose from they’ll be spoilt for choice story-wise but Empire hopes for a glimpse of the Dark Judges in this outing. Death, Fear, Fire and Mortis on the big screen? Yes please.
How come Danny Boyle in the online chat didn't seem to know anything about Dredd? He didn't like the last one and couldn't imagine another one would be much better............

That was Amazing,needs making asap.
And while the bidget is a concern,IF say Danny Boyle does come in to direct like the romour mill is suggesting then it it will be different,coming hot of the back of Slumdog Millionaire.i do understand your concerns though and yes they are valid and a bit worring.I thought Sunshine would have done better than that. ...

Very disturbing news for all fans of the forthcoming Dredd film. DNA's Sunshine:
Wikipedia:
United States and Canada, Sunshine grossed US $1,262,996 in 461 theaters, the film's budget reportedly was US$40 million.e]
A 40 million dollar sci-fi film is released in just 461 sceens? Wow, talk about killing the film off before it had a chance. Is this the sort of marketing policy we want for a new Dredd film?
No way!
I think the warning signs are all there. I wouldn't use D... Read More
Star Wars was made in 1977 - Dredd 2 is being made in 2009 - ever heard of inflation? (no sarcasm intended)
And you can't compare the scale of Hellboy with Dredd. The original Dredd film couldn't build a lawmaster bike with wheels that could turn. That's how hard it is to make a Dredd film. Can DNA films make real lawmasters that actually turn? Well, not many, if they want to use the rest of the budget to make blocks, sets and all the rest. And look at the marketing budget Sunshine must ha... Read More
i hear what you're saying,bear in mind though that Star Wars was filmed on a low budget and that turned out alright?i think Hellboy also had a small(by hollywood standards)budget,40 mill i think so IF done wisely it could work. ... Read More
A Button Man film would be a lot cheaper than a Dredd film!
Has anyone actually checked out the box office stats for DNA's films? It's kind of depressing viewing. Sure, it's possible some of the films turned a profit but would you want a production company to make a new Dredd film when its last sci-fi film eust three million at the US box office? I'm sorry but this is crazy. There's no way DNA have the funds to make a proper Dredd film. I doubt they even distributed/marketed Sunshine corre... Read More

Wasn't there talk of a Button Man film a while back? I'm sure I remember thinking it would be perfect. Fantastic story, relatively easy to produce and if done well, would make it easier to get other characters up and running.
Is it too early to talk about a Robo-Hunter spin-off? /quote]
I read somewhere that the rights to make a Button Man film had been sold a few years ago, but not heard anything since. ... Read More
