[Closed] Dredd

They've sold the costumes and props for Dredd, so it's highly unlikely there'll ever be a sequel. Pity.

Dredd has been done on film back in the 90's, in the cutscenes for the not-very-good Judge Dredd lightgun game...

Who bought the costumes and props?

On a different forum I was looking at comic con girls and there was a pic of two guys in exact Dredd comic book costumes. Bang on detail. Will look for it

Oh I forgot:
5) The Lawmaster motorbikes - awful. I know they didn't have money, but it's depressing that the closest that anyone's got on film to the real thing* was on Batman!

(it's real in my head)

I'm sure I read urban kept the helmet but that was it. Must have been on eBay

I thought it was pretty average. Wish someone would do a decent Rogue Trooper movie though, could be much better than all the Marvel superhero crap.

Always my favourite

I have absolutely zero confidence they would make an even half decent job of it film-wise though. Dredd is not bad. But its the best of some absolutely dire films when it comes to Hollywood tackling this type of thing

I'm going to go back and watch the Stallone version.

Just seen the budgets:
Judge Dredd 1995: $90m ($143 adjusted for inflation)
Dredd 2012: $45m

So approx a third of the budget. Although I think Stallone got $15m of the original which brings it down a bit).

Both films were a wasted opportunity imo - such amazing content but not enough confidence from hollywood to let it be its own thing.

There was a big prop auction from one of the memorabilia places- I almost bought my brother a NO LOITERING BY ORDER OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT sign from the block, but it went a bit expensive. Some nifty stuff.

I was driving through Dingwall a while back and spotted a Stallone-Dredd H-wagon parked at the side of the road, bit odd.

[Damn just scanned though the thread and see I said the same thing 3 months ago...] I enjoyed it, the look (except the law master) was right but thought the story quite poor. An episode of a the comic rather than the under lying theme for a years worth of comic's (how I'd expect a film to be). The Stallone one makes me cringe, the Angel gang & ABC warrior being brief glimpses of the original comic.
I imagine most fans on here are fan of the comic.. I wonder what the later generation have to say

I wasn't impressed by the Raid, 90% of a elite tactical squad killed within first 5 minutes, man so unreal 😯

PS: Again Rogue trooper was always my favorite.. and I wouldn't want to see that made into a film.

I enjoyed Dredd by agree the bikes were bobbins.

Re. other 2000AD characters Sam Slade Robo Hunter would be great - perfect role for a youngish Eastwood

Slaine The Horned God would make a great 2000AD film.
I liked the Stallone movie and have yet to see Dredd. Saw a clip,of the car chase and it looked good.

MACH 1

2000AD is a goldmine of movie potential

Del Toro doing a Nemesis movie would be awesome.

Probably the most 'movie-able' 2000ad character would be Halo Jones?

And I still think possibly the best Dredd film would be to use the 'America' storyline - for me that was when the character and world 'grew up'.

I think book 1 of The Button Man would make a great film.
