This is not the true portrayel of Dredd. I agree with others old Sly should not be asked to redo the role, a perfect choice would be Jason Statham, for one he has the chin, and the no balls attitude that would portray Dredd amicably. A g0od storyline would be Necropolis involving judge Death, this would be one hell of a movie, for those of you who have not read Necropolis i suggest you do.

It's a mistake to group this in with other remakes. If the makers have understood the spirit of the strip, and develop an original story, this film will be independent of, and should bear no resemblance to, the 1995 film!

The Stallone film was a disaster that the comic version didn't deserve. Forget Stallone - they need to start from scratch and stay true to the source material.

Remaking part 3 of the Cobretti Trilogy first? I would expect then that remakes of both Cobra and Demolition Man are to follow? Odd. Remaking part 3 of the Cobretti Trilogy first?

Just last week I was saying all I want for Christmas is a new Billy Zane Phantom and Stallone Judge Dread movie! I agree with your original cast idea Reed, but I'd throw in Balthazar Getty to your mix as well! This is great news.

Why would someone want to reprise Judge Dredd? I think the only way I'd go see a new version is if they completely stripped away all the old layers of the original film and start fresh. Still, it might be a lot to ask. Who knows... Seems like everyone is hopping on the bandwagon of re-inventing old stories. (Batman, Hulk, Star Trek, etc, etc) Hopefully, they can turn this character around. <a href="http://wwwrachelmarek.com" rel="nofollow"> Rachel </a> Really?
