I ain't clicking that shit.
Maybe they will actually get the tone right this time around.
>>83954479
I won't be fooled again.
But I will monitor the fuck out of this thread.
>>83954511
What do you think the tone should be? Closer to the comics (either seriously dark in some places, satirical and goofy in others)?
Fine, I'll take the bullet...
>At his panel at Denver Comic Con, when asked a rather snidely worded question about if he would do a sequel to ‘Dredd’ even if it was poorly written just for the money, Karl Urban revealed some very interesting information for fans.
>Well, after he quipped that he did need a new house, he revealed the information:
>Yes. ‘Dredd 2′ is in development.
>You heard that right. Or at least, they are developing the story for it. After that, they are determining the right platform, be it Netflix, Amazon, a TV Series, or another movie.
>Urban added that there is an interest from established creatives and that he would do the sequel if he felt it had depth and substance.

Dredd was a decent action movie but it didn't feel like the Mega City or Judge Dredd at all.
And I am not sure if you can replicate that tightwire balance the comic hits between Satire, Comedy and Dead Seriousness in something with acting and not drawings.
>>83954479
Alright creeps.
>>83954511
What was wrong with the tone? I thought Dredd's non chalant attitude towards everything fit the tone of the originals well.
>what happened up there?
>drug bust
I mean, its not like the Dark Judges showed up.
Oh baby.
I'd take a Netflix series. More room to breathe, more opportunities to show different things, and no network tv rating scrubbing decisions.
Another movie would probably be fine too, but I'd take twelve hours of Karl Dredd over two.
Hallelujah!
>>83954789
Also less expensive!
>>83954789
There's no guarantee that we'd get Karl Urban in a movie or a TV show all he's saying is he'd be open to discussing it if it happened.
So if he did pass on it who should we get to replace him?
>>83954479
wow theyre really scraping the bottom of the barrel now

>And I am not sure if you can replicate that tightwire balance the comic hits between Satire, Comedy and Dead Seriousness in something with acting and not drawings.
TV make up and CGI is at the point where we can get things like the fatties in MC1 and the film was bleak as fuck with it's humor.
If anything, it's the perfect time.

If someone like Netflix did it, you could also have some of the more ambitious progs like "America" as well. I doubt they would do something as insane as Apocalypse war instantly. But "America" is something they could do, isn't hugely SFX based.
>>83954902
>That episode where he said "Two years in the cubes, creep" in his Dredd voice
>>83954919
Agree with your point on the Apocalypse War. It requires too much buildup, from the Luna Olympics, to Dredd attempting to arrest a Sov Aircraft carrier in the Black Atlantic. Moreover, the scale of devastation in the Apocalypse War would be beyond the budget of Netflix and Amazon.
DOOM > Dredd

OPs pic looks like the cover of a Dredd porn parody

Whatever happened with this? Did it bomb? It seemed like potentially good, if with lots of liberties taken, adaptation of Asimov's Robot trilogies, but without the big scope.
>>83954738
I think the writers were smart to know their own limits. They didn't think they could make comedy work well so they played it straight.
Personally I enjoyed watching a movie that was happy to be just one thing and do that as well as they could. Too many films try to crowbar in a love story or a comedy side kick and just end up a hideous mess

>whatever happened to this?FOX
>>83955180
It did in fact sink without a trace ratings wise.

I agree that the film didn't really capture the feel of Mega-City One (though I think that was more an issue of budget limitations than anything else) but I think Urban captured the core of Judge Dredd's character quite well.

For what it's worth rotten tomatoes disagrees with you
>Dredd 68%
>Doom 18%
I thought you'd care
