Report: Judge Dredd reboot greenlighted to hit theaters in what? Yes you guess it, 3D…what else…

Judge Dredd, the comic book superhero, will be getting a reboot in 3D. Thanks to the Cannes Festival, Andrew McDonald’s, DNA Films made an official deal with Reliance Big Entertainment and IM Global to finance the film. A script has already been written and ready by Alex Garland and will be directed by “Vantage Point” director, Pete Travis.

I wonder what Sly’s thoughts on this are? I doubt he will reprise the Judge Dredd role, but maybe they will try and get Sly for a different role? Maybe even a cameo for Sly hopefully? I hope they’ll make it a better movie as I’ll admit, Stallone’s version of “Judge Dredd” was a pretty bad film. Sly made a good Judge Dredd, yes, but it’s the story, the writing, and bad casting. Rob Schneider’s character was very annoying in that film.

Report: “Judge Dredd” greenlit to return to the big screen…

Rebellion and 2000 A.D. film companies announced they had greenlit “Judge Dredd” to return to the big screen. They will work with DNA films who brought us “Sunshine” and “28 Days Later”. They can’t give out any more details of the plot, cast, etc. but they seem really excited to bring this comic book superhero back to the big screen.

Judge Dredd made his first live action debut to the big screen in 1995, the character played by Sylvester Stallone. The movie also starred Rob Schneider, Max Von Sydow, and Diane Lane. There is no word on who will play the Judge Dredd role.

No word if Sylvester Stallone will reprise that character again, but he has said in interviews on AintItCool that he would love to go back to that character one day to make it a better movie, but who knows, never say never on Sly returning as Judge Dredd, right? May all the rumours all over the web of Sly returning as the character begin!!!

Even if Sly doesn’t come back as Judge Dredd, it’s great news that the film is coming back for a better movie. I thought Sly made a great Judge Dredd, but his movie could have been made better. Judge Dredd is a superhero character that deserves a better movie.
