And, apparently, there's already a trailer out for it....

On a more serious note, we should be a tiny bit cautious.  Online research indicates that production partner Mark Stern (of IM Global) seems to have built a reputation in his time at SyFy for bigging-up projects, only for them to never make it out of the development stage...

Rest easy, last month IM Global will be expanding an unscripted and alternative development team. according to Deadline.

-------------

"It's exciting times here at IM Global Television as we begin assembling the first wave of a team with dedicated focus on formats and programs with global appeal," said IM Global Television's President of Unscripted & Alternative, Phil Gurin. "With their varied professional backgrounds and experiences, I am thrilled to welcome Jennifer Colbert, Tim Rosenman and Casey Kelly, whose creative energy and passion will help us create, collaborate on and identify the most exciting new programs for all platforms both at home and around the world."

I left an introduction on the New Members board (thanks for the welcome) and I had an afterthought regarding what "triggered" me into this world as well.

I just received my Case Files 5 behemoth in the mail. LOL! And I'm already hooked at Crime File #1. Starting Crime File #2.

After Crime File is closed, there is still more beyond just that one Body Shark sting and Remington is so far untouchable and has a near endless chain of Body Shark fronts. Kind of makes you realize it never ends in Mega City One...that there's always SOMETHIN'. Never ending, regardless of the THE END at the ending of the Crime File.

A thread you start pulling on and keeps going. Mega City One = A can of worms that always keep opening up. I love it! It leaves things open ended and a yearning to read more.

Another thing that got me on this comic is the fact I had recently seen a Washington Post editorial referencing Trump channeling Nixon and later compared him to Judge Dredd. "It's not illegal if I'm the president." (Nixon said that in the clip.)

(Not meaning to turn this into a political discussion, but it's just things that happen in the real world tying into fictional works fascinates me)

The comic also reminds me of the 80s Robocop movie, loved it, too!

Also...it addresses the something that you may have experienced in an ethics lesson about stealing food if you don't have money to afford it to feed your family or the same when it comes to medicine that could save a loved on.

The whole innocence turned guilty thing is kind of sad as there are consequences to those actions for first time offenders.  I keep thinking, will Dredd cut him/her some slack?  Nope, but at least the husband got only 12 months for a minor crime conducted in lieu of the Body Shark sting.

Very engaging material thus far!

Hello, I am a recent reader of the comics, funny story. A friend on Facebook was constantly posting about it and I was wondering what his hype was all about. Then one day I looked the 1995 Stallone ver. in the que, watched it. Then I went and looked up Dredd with Urban in it...thought it was a great movie.

Then I decided to read up on it's lore on it, so I ordered the Case filed #5 on Amazon, so I'm starting there.  Then I saw the 2000AD app I could download and install, not sure if I want to start pulling THAT thread just yet.

But yeah, I can now see the appeal of the franchise as it's got an entire universe going on and a prospective cinematic universe to be competitive with other franchised CUs.  :-)
