"Judge Dredd Owner Rebellion Sets Up $100 Million U.K. Film and TV Studio"

Making Dredd in a former Daily Mail printshop seems perfect to me.

Not sure where else to put this but a proof of concept for an animated Judge Dredd series has shown up on the internet. Don't think it's what you'd consider "leaked" but was put out by one of the artists who worked on it.

EDIT: bah, been taken down/hidden. Must have been a slip up on the artist.

A Judge Dredd Akira rip-off? Sign me up!

[cassidy]

Stick it in my veins now.

I still have no idea how Karl Urban kept up that grimace the entire time. What a fucking dude.

[ZOK]

I think he was trying to produce some evidence of having a chin.

[Hanzo the Razor]

He succeeded.

[ZOK]

In his next film? Would have worked better in this one, sadly. He’s got a weaker chin than Jordan from Hollyoaks!

 

[Death's Head]

RIP

[ZOK]

Actually Jordan looks like he would have made a more convincing Dredd...and his accent is probably better than Urban’s to boot.

[Stig]

Who has the chin for it?

 

Bruce Campbell is 62 but still looks great, give him the gig

 

 

[Monkeyboy]

Maybe they based it on the early Mike McMahon strips? Dredd was a bit chinless when he started out.

[Vulgar Monkey]

I always thought he was pretty much based off Clint Eastwood?

[Thor]

What about Henry Cavill if he doesn't get Bond?

[Hanzo the Razor]

What about him?

[Bazjam]

If they were to recast, it would have to be Josh Brolin. Perfect age for it as well.

Judge Death?

Phil Cornwell's a good actor but he's just not right for Dredd 

[Captain Kelsten]

Goddamn, it’s been a while since I watched this and it sparks two feelings: amazement at how awesome it is and sadness that we’ll never get a sequel. 

[b00dles]

I saw mega city pop up on imdb earlier, suggesting it's in the works at rebellion but it seemed incredibly vague and non news but I can but hope we'll get more.

There's 4 issues 2000ad and one of the Megazine every month.  There's tons of brand new Judge Dredd material coming out all the time.

And is that being made into an awesome film with Karl Urban?

 

But seriously, though, if as a complete newbie to the comics I wanted to jump in somewhere, where should I start? I see there are various 'Case Files' anthologies and even some new 'essential' books, but which one to get first?

 

 

[Ste Pickford]

Ah, it's a shame, there was a humble bundle that's just finished with loads of classic Dredd and other 2000ad stuff, which would have been a great place to start.  There's a post in the 2000ad & the Meg thread in the Art and Literature forum, I'm sure, that lists some good starting points.

Apologies for my post anyway, this is the thread about the film after all.  It's just frustration spilling over from Facebook, where I joined a couple of 2000ad groups recently, that I expected to be full of people talking about the comic.  Instead, nearly every post is about why isn't this series a film, and why wasn't there a sequel to the dredd film, and which stories would make the best film or tv series, and why isn't there any news on the Mega City One tv series, etc.  It just wound me up a bit because the comics are great, and are still coming out, so we don't need tv and films to keep them going.

I think it's good to read a couple of case files as they include lots of shorter stories as well as the epics. It give you a much better taste of the range of Dredd stories. The epics are incredible, but the shorter stories are generally funnier and show off mega city one more. Generally accepted wisdom is Case Files 4 and 5 is where it starts to hit its stride. 5 has the apocalypse war, which is the greatest story ever told. Once you have a few of them done, i'd go for a few more later stories which are a bit more grown up - America, The Pit, Total War, Tour of Duty. I'd leave origins until you've read a fair bit. Hits much harder then. 

 

@Ste Pickford the dredd films are a recurring subject in the facebook groups alright. Some are better than others - i'm keen on 1977-2000AD, House of Tharg original art, and The Brian Bolland Appreciation Society (Brian posts in there a good bit, posting up lots of rare art).

[ZOK]

I’m amazed that any real Dredd fan wants a sequel to this movie, the original was bad enough.

 

If you’ve never read any Dredd, I can  understand why you might think it’s good.

It’s true that there are still great Dredd stories coming out, but I think the thing that finally stopped me reading a few years ago was a sense that Dredd was winding up but would never actually be ‘done.’ I can only take so many poignant storylines about successors, age, and regrets before it starts to feel like a bluff.
 

That’s the quandary that Rebellion face, of course. Dredd’s timeline must advance, but they won’t retire him as he’s so integral to their brand. Which eventually leads to the unintentional comedy of a judge in their sixties still hitting the mean streets. 

[womblingfree]

@Garibaldi I stopped reading 2000ad in the late 80’s and even then the stories were about Dredd getting old and retiring.

Fan since the start. Loved the movie. Terrible take.
