Judge Dredd Reboot is Coming

What, Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd wasn’t good enough for you guys? You gotta reboot the character for the big screen? Okay, why not. Let’s face it, 1995’s “Judge Dredd” was a major disappointment. A big-budget mega disappointment. Okay, okay, it pretty much stunk up the joint, which may be why the guys at 2000AD are already hard at work getting the reboot together for a 2009 start date. Don’t believe me? They said so at their site.

Via the 2000 AD Forum:

Rebellion and 2000 AD are proud to announce that Judge Dredd is coming to a cinema near you soon!

Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.

Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, ‘We can’t give away too many details at this point, but we’re looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen.’

We’ll keep you up to date with breaking news as it happens!

See?

So what is the comic book that “Judge Dredd” is based on all about? Well, it’s kind of hard to explain, but Wikipedia does a good enough job here. Suffice to say, the Judges of the future are pretty badasses, and the 1995 movie doesn’t begin to tap their badassness.

Below: Judge Dredd is such a badass, he could get away with wearing those boots.
