Doesnt need to be for me, all it needs its atmosphere, darkness, despair etc. Fancy CGI etc wont work. I read into Judge Dredd that life had become tedious and over-regulated for the inhabitants of the future city with alot of crime to fill the gaps. Heck even Sugar was illegal?!!!
For me, the insanity of mega-city one was in part down to it’s impossibly huge sprawl and scope. It was the mechanism that allowed almost anything to happen in JD’s universe so it has to be realised in a way that makes it somewhat believable (within that reality).
I dont think the film needs to be a whizz bang effects driven load of nonsense but I’d like to think that a correctly realised Judge Dredd movie(and universe) could make a successful fim and therfore franchise as there is such a depth of great material there to explore.
For me, Robocop is the closest thing to Judge Dredd that’s been commited to film, so I’d like to see something in a similar vein, and hopefully not a reeboot story. Mickey Rourke as Dredd to start with would be nice.
Rorschach’s mask has gone from being a PVC-like material to a fabric one.
What made you think it was pvc?
