I might be the biggest 2000AD/Dredd fan on here at io9, ive been reading 2000AD since 1984 and have every weekly/monthly/graphic novel/mug!! So i think its fair to say that my opinion on Dredd the movie is valid. I personally thought it was flawed but awesome all the same. The one thing that annoyed the hell out of me was my friend kept saying 'ohhh doesnt the city look like the city in fith element'....surely not!! Mega city is older in the comics than that or even..Blade Runner. Now Carlos Ezquira (a personal friend of mine for the last 4 years), who created Dredd always notes that Dredds apperance was designed around Clint Eastwood. Now depending how old they make dredd in the film..(yes he's a clone but he ages)..depends on the casting. Personally I think they should make him older, wiser and more hardened to the street. Thus Eastwood could play Dredd..how it was always meant to be! Maybe even the inclusion of Judge Death!!

I'd like to see a new Dredd movie, but it always annoys me that he's the 2000AD character everyone fixates on for a film. Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, even Nikolai Dante, would all make better films. Personal fave; an ABC Warriors movie.
Additional rule; at some point in the film it should be made painfully obvious that Dredd is a horrible, completely unsympathetic fascist. For some reason the fact that he is so obviously detestable make me love the comic even more and I think it would really help the film.
@Captain_Fitz: Yeah! Anderson could reach into his mind to find the warm & fuzzy heart of gold that some might expect lies beneath that tough exterior. Nope he's cold bastard all the way down.
@Grey_Area: Okay, I take back the first name thing. He's still Joseph Dredd but no one ever calls him that. We'll see his full name on document or something. Nobody says to him "Hey Joe, lighten up! Lets go grab some brewskis, yo?"

If I was your personal friend I would want you to spell my name correctly.

Just imagine Carrie Fisher's voice for a moment: "Aren't you a little short for a judge?"

* There will be no more than three (3) scenes showing Dredd sans helmet. There will be no dialouge in at least one (1) of said scenes.
* Dredd has no first name. It's not "Joe", "Chauncey", or "Melvin". I would accept "Bronx Mowgli" after a sufficiently obscene bribe.
* Dredd kisses no one with the possible exception of Johnny Alpha of the Strontium Dogs.
* There must be a Judge Anderson. She can kiss anybody with one (1) exception. (see above)
* the Lawmaster bike must fly. duh.
If Mr. Boyle follows these rules he has free reign (rein? rain? rayon?) to screw with Mega-City One however he sees fit.
That is all.
