Which is probably for the best. Deadline reports that there’s going to be another Judge Dredd film, and now I have to eat my words from yesterday, because this is totally cause for a “Ridiculously Necessary Remakes” tag. Right now, the new film will supposedly be closer to the original comic’s roots and be written by the guy who did
the screenplay for 28 Days Later and Sunshine and the Halo movie that
got canceled; it’ll also be 3-D, of course. Still, better forced 3-D than having Rob Schneider mince about for 90 minutes of pure cinematic agony. Goddamn that Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie was so fucking bad. I got in for free to see it and I still paid too much. Emotionally, I mean.
