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.

Any ether-binge inspired rumor of Charlie's is good enough for me. A few rules for the new movie:

* 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.

@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?"

It just isn't done.
