You never picked up any comic relief in all that time?! Or is it just that you don't want any of that transferring to the screen?
So no Fatties, Simps, Gimps, Bat-Gliders, One-liners, Amusingly Named Tower Blocks, Wobots...
am sitting here right now with an issue of Dredd's crime file from 1989 where he is holding a box where it says "Super Flab-on" and there is a picture of a 300 pound man with a little wheel under his belly. :)

Hi drich90215 - I definitely agree with you on the Paul Verhoven as director! Good call! I never thought of that but you are totally right.. the first Robocop really did have a "Judge Dredd" kind of feel.. and it was also violent as hell plus the humor that was just right. I support that.
In regards to a muscle man... well. I am not saying that it shouldn't be a muscle man... but it does not necessarily be. Again I think that Rorschach was a perfect example of a "non built More

The one perfect director for judge Dredd always was Paul Verhoven. The Tone of the original Robocop movie was always very close to the feel and the humour from the Judge Dredd comic. Starship Troopers Proves this as well; there arent any other directors outside of straight up comedy directors that can get that humour but Verhoven also knows how to do action. KRB I think youre wrong about not getting a muscle man for Dredd. Remember Clint Eastwood in his day was a bit of a muscle man but his he More

Man I am so happy to see that many Dredd fans united (sort of)! I have been a huge fan of Dredd since I was 6 or 7 years old. I have always imagined the movie to be directed by someone like David Fincher... the grainy, rainy, rough, bleak reality of "7" would be perfect for Dredd and Megacity.
This movie should not .. by any means have any comic relief. The 1995 movie had some very good elements and they nailed a lot of things. I even would go as far as saying that Stallone wa More

Alex garland is a lucky fucker - but I'm not convinved that he's a great choice - nothing that he's written before has demotnstrated an ability to write bad-ass or balls-out action, and he's not really delivered any decent satire either.

As Judge Dredd was modelled on Clint Eastwood and Clint's now too old for it, the obvious choice for the part would be Hugh Jackman. I wonder will they have Dredd remove his helmet like he did in the Stallone version. More

Clint Eastwood say twenty years ago was right on the money.
Hard as steel, and he can act. But in modern day terms I'm pretty stumped, I completely agree Dredd should be a mature man hardened by his cause. To have someone young would be dumb.
I really hope they go to town on making the environment of Megacity 1 a tangible place that feels like a city of the future.

Strip away the Sci-Fi element of the last movie had at it’s basic core is a very similar story to “Gladiator”. One became a classic, the other – well. It’s hard to imagine you could start with such elements and end up with such a very mediocre sci-fi. A good reboot could really work. “The Dead Man / Necropolis” or “Machanismo / Doomsday” . So many options.... More

I really really hope this goes through and done correctly. With Alex Garland it just might. Dont like the idea of John C.Mckinley as Dredd though, I find him way too annoying, although he does have the physical look to play the part. I always wanted Clint Eastwood or R. Lee Emery to play the part. Thay are both pretty old now but so is Dredd. I think he is in 50's or 60's by this stage.

I'd love to see either Chopper story or PJ Maybe as the antagonists - if they go with a story that paints Dredd as a black and white hero then they'll miss the point - it needs to be ambiguous - the audience shouldn't be sure whether they're supposed to be cheering for Dredd. I reckon they'll play it safe and classic and go for some variation on the Block Wars plot. More

Nothing wrong with having an unknown actor play the part (lets not forget Claude Rains only showed his face in the last few seconds of the Invisible Man...also plenty of good actors have played the Phantom of the Opera)...and surround Dredd with well known faces. So really, Dredd could be played by anyone...known or unknown...but for me there is only one person who could carry off that part...Woody Allen...the sardonic quips would be deadly...if slightly Jewish. :) More

I hope Danny Boyle doesn't get involved in this seeing as he's said he doesn't like comic book films and has no interest in being involved when asked about it earlier this year. I'd rather see him get to work on something he's passionate about and leave Dredd for someone that wants to do it (although Dredd is one comic character I personally never gave two hoots about). More

I'm still a fan of the original myself, if only there had been no drokkin' Rob Schnyder and kept the grud damn helmet on you'd have had a much more appreciated film.
That aside, I can't think of many who can fill the chin of Dredd though, Stallone obviously, Bruce Campbell, Eastwood would suffice as Dredd's clone father, Judge Fargo, Ron Pearlman would be perfect I reckon.

Whichever story they do, I hope they pick a strong one where Dredd is the most important character, but not necessarily the central. The stories are as much about Mega City 1 and its bonkers inhabitants as anything else. Dredd is so unbending (Old Stoney Face, etc), it's hard to give him an arc; the original film completely undermined him by making him adapt. He never adapts, because he is the law, and the city in a way. Sorry... "duh lurr"...
