    Dredd (film) - Judge Dredd movie

    I'm quite looking forward to this!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    To paraphrase another Sylvester Stallone sci-fi flick: "In the future, every movie is a remake."

    Great news. Stallone interfered and ruined the 1st one. The set designs and costumes where spot on and Danny cannon was a massive 2000AD fan. All the ingredients were there until Stallone started throwing his weight around. Clint Eastwood would have made a brilliant Dredd years ago.

    So long as it's better than the 1995 version, I'll be happy.

    And Dredd should be a non-star and NOT take off his helmet...ever.

    I won't hold my breath though.

    Been a long time since I saw it, but IIRC the look was one of the few things they got RIGHT. It was EVERYTHING ELSE that was wrong...

    Yeah I know it's the look from the pages. Just pointing out that if you didn't know this was from a different film, you would think it was Stallone...

    True, true...the ascetic of the helmet seems especially similar from little i can remember, which is a good thing in this case.

    Average Joe Movie Goer is going to see that and think "I saw that movie ten or fifteen years ago!". Even the awesome Batman Begins struggled a bit after the failure of Batman and Robin ten years prior. It wasn't until DVD and TV that most people realized it was an all new deal and not linked to the sub-par efforts that came before.

    These guys definitely have their work cut out for them...

    I could take or leave this, tbh. I never really felt the first was watchable, but it seems like a rather innane movie to try and remake.

    I can imagine this being a bigger hit in Britain/Overseas than in the US.

    Judge Dredd's never been as big over here. He doesn't even have claws...
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Why you're right! I don't even think they managed to copy & paste a 'trained as a ninja' background into his past...oh, so stylish in the 80s.

    I'm waiting for the fan-film to come out...made by hardcore fans, they even have "munce-burger" wrappers flying about.

    The only saving grace from the Stalone film was "Hammerstein" the ABC warrior, he looked JUST like he should have.
