Ouch!  The best bit in that very long sequence was Goaty's "Do you think John Wagner gives a sh_t?", which had me giggling into my coffee.

Scojo has united all true 2000ad fans, Artists, writers and the nerve centre in there dislike of his vindictive ways! the sad thing is even me writing this is feeding his twisted ego! think the best action is to blank him and leave him to rot in his brown and cream Y front all in one set! Well done to goaty very funny! :)

I followed that link and had to read the whole thing, in the same way you wouldn't be able to tear your eyes away from a slow-motion car crash resulting in several fatalities. Ouch.

I had a look at the Christmas issue of Empire and took a pic of what it said about Dredd, I wasn't gonna pay for a couple of paragraphs. Anyway it actually makes a change to see a positive piece and here it is -

QuoteJudge Dredd is without doubt the greatest British comic-book creation, and yet there's only been one movie. The Stallone one. Which was, as a citizen of Mega-City One might put it, utter stomm.

"I'm very aware of how film has fucked over comic-book creators in the past." says Alex Garland, writer and co-producer of this latest version. Keen to get it right, he and producers Andrew MacDonald and Allon Reich included Dredd creator John Wagner in the creative process. "We wanted to be sure we listened to him, that we understood what it was that we needed to protect."

The result promises to be a raw, stripped-down take, with Karl Urban a lither, less compromising (and compromised) Dredd than Sly's. Not that there's anything slight about this; the shoot wrapped in February 2011, and the film is still in VFX-heavy post. The hope remains it will prove that rare thing: a true Brit blockbuster. It was even shot in 3D, with Oscar-winning DP Anthony Dod Mantle intriguingly experimenting with the format: using negative space, emphasising facial close-ups, he tells Empire on set. "It becomes a weird landscape when you get up relly close..."

The VFX company looks promising. Heres one of their many showreels.

You mean the same The Mill vfx company that worked on Gladiator ?  I thought I read a few years back they had folded, or maybe it was significantly downsized, something like that...

By the way, just saw the Crumley/Hunter script you sent in the inbox, thanks again Joe :D !

Just finished reading that Crumley/Hunter script - thanks Joe :D

It's seems like more of a parody of Dredd than an adaptation. And as weak as it is, it wouldn't have been any worse than the Stallone one.

Little write up on Empire

Bad research for a start. The usual lazy mistake concerning the oft-quoted "Danny Boyle's production company DNA"; it's not his company, he doesn't own DNA nor does he have anything to do with them -or Dredd- other than he directed a few films for them before he made it to 'Hollywood'.

Io9 seem relatively excited. Dredd's on their list of sci-fi movies to watch out for in 2012:

"Dredd (Sept. 21)
Mega City One's greatest lawman finally gets a serious film, with Karl Urban as a Dredd who never takes his helmet off. Sarah Connor and Cersei Lannister, aka Lena Headey, is the villain.
Outlook: The draft script was fun but nothing special. But the look of the film is picture-perfect, and script drafts can change."
"...and it was here in this blighted place, he learned to live again."

I actually quite like the 'Fargo's son' idea. Does that make me a bad person?  :-\
