Sunshine’s Alex Garland Writing Judge Dredd Remake
Judge Dredd (Remake) Movie, Sci-Fi Movie News — By Nix on September 9, 2009
It’s been almost a year since Rebellion and 2000 AD announced that they were planning to reboot their “Judge Dredd” property. Haven’t heard much from it since, but now we know who is currently writing the script: one Alex Garland.
The news comes from the Twitter account of one Jock (via MTV), who was gushing about Garland’s script. Garland, in case you don’t know, is a pretty familiar name with genre movies, having penned Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” as well as the excellent “Sunshine”.
The last Judge Dredd movie starred Sylvester Stallone as the toughest Mega City One judge, jury, and executioner of them all, and was directed by Danny Cannon in 1995. It, well, bombed, despite featuring a very dishy Diane Lane.

Speaking as one of the few people who liked the original Dredd movie, I can’t wait to see what the new producers do with it. Certainly, the stills I’ve seen look more than promising. Now all we have to do is hope Joe doesn’t spend half the movie with his helmet off
