I’ve been a Jude Dredd fan for a long time (and I was born when the movie was made!) Just found out that a remake is gonna be made, SHWEET!

judge dredd remake…true,its a case of the original could be improved on…armaund assante wasnt a bad rico..would have been interesting casting to have had him playing dredd…as for casting now,its a shame eastwood is retired…true,in grand torino he still looks tough,and kicks ass…gerald butler?? jason statham? maybe…and no comic relief…fergie in the stallone movie was a pain..and trying to shove the angel gang,fargo,hammerstien etc all in one movie was a big mistake..
i know to get funding back then,they needed a name,and stallone was sill box office then…..with advances in CGI mega city one would be no bother to render…
my ideas for casting

Dredd …Eric Bana or Michael Fassbinder
Caligula…Leonardo Di Caprio or Kiefer Sutherland

if animated,the starship troopers approach wouldnt be bad…

What was a major mistake with the stallone movie was that all the good character names were used up in 1 go. Griffin, Silver McGruder and Fargo (for petes sake) all out of context and time. I think if you want a really good Judge Dredd series, they should get Gerry Anderson involved and do it like New Captain Scarlet (similar to Starship Troopers). Look at the tech stuf and vehicles in them, just straight out of Mega City Motors, especially the Rhino response unit as a Judge Patrol wagon or H wagon. Then you could really do ‘The Cursed Earth’, ‘the day the law died’ or ‘block war’ leading to ‘Sov Blok war’ “Judge Death’. But maybe that sort of production would be best served for a ‘Rogue Trooper Movie or series

Dredd was based on clint eastwood to begin with,but its a shame hes retired from acting now,only actor i think would work now is jason statham,good voice for dredd and would probably keep the helmet on throughout the film,unlike stallone who wanted people to see his face.one thing we definatly need is proper lawmasters not the stupid hover bikes from the first film,Dark knight has proved big tires on bikes work,which the production team from the first dredd movie said they didnt.

Mickey Rourke is a more likely possibility. Especially with his popularity after Ironman 2. The original bombed, and how can you take Stalone seriously? I mean Rob Schneider? Really? I don’t know anything about the comic, but I can tell you that Stalone Spandex and Schneider do not make a good mix. A total revamp would be necessary with a good director that understands the campyness without becoming cheesy. Think of what The Dark Night script would have been if not in Nolan’s hands.

Cat, your idea for Clint Eastwood is inspired! Especially given his Dirty Harry past, age and looks. Makes utter sense.

This for me is one of the few films recent films that should be remade. While it was a campy but entertaining waste of time, Hollywood did seem to completely miss the point. I’m looking forward to something alot darker, interesting and Bladerunner-esque.

Obviously none of you know what ur talking about super nintendo music indeed and Stallone should not play it again. The only person that could truly do JD is Clint Eastwood. or Hugh Jackman.

I actually did enjoy the JD movie because i can switch off and be entertained for entertainments sake..i think it was a brave attempt and Sylvester Stallone wasn’t far off the mark for jds character but he was missing two crucial elements 1)JD is very tall 2) he is very intelligent and 3) the helmet is never removed only when he is undercover .
Please if you cant remember Judge Caligula get off this site and go back to your half pulled down trousers and stupid unrebellious spiky hairdos

I agree Ruaidhri, Stallone should be used in this next Dredd movie. No one can do the Judge Dredd walk with the limp and slurr, “I AM THE LAW” like Stallone!

Judge Dredd’s in his 60’s at the moment in the comics so how could Stallone be too old.
