the hints still don't exactly inspire. Most recent: [spoiler] looks like the [spoiler]spice mines of Kessel are definitely going to feature, in addition to the [spoiler]eponymous run[/spoiler][/spoiler]. -sigh-
I'll see your -sigh- and raise you a FFS. Interest definitely waning...

Thanks for posting Steve!
While I'm glad that the city will be the main character, and it won't be just about Dredd, I was a bit worried he would be mostly sidelined, with just a couple of appearances here and there.
That interview is promising, though, suggesting they'll have a good balance.

I'm really hoping with the violent nature of Dredd that this series is going to be more pitched at a walking dead TV show level. . . . Walter is a character aimed at children under 10.
Walter (and Max Normal) I can live without. I get why long time readers have a nostalgic place in their hearts for them, but would they really work for general viewers? You'd need a very soft touch with them as they are marmite even for prog readers.

Urban should guest occasionally as Fargo or play the original Rico for an episode or two. Best, I think, to move beyond him playing Dredd under the circumstances. He did a great job in the 2012 film but that's over with now so I think it's time to move on.

Do they explicitly say it's not in the same reality, or just that it's not a sequel to the film?
Explicitly not the same reality as the film.
They talk about wanting to take the best elements from the Stallone film (look of the city, wacky future elements) and the Urban film (gritty, hard) and create a hybrid.
Also discussed having a mix of screenwriters and actual 2000 AD script droids working on the storylines.
All sounds very exciting.
Thats really deflating news for me, as I am firmly in the camp of wanting to see any continuation of the 2012 film.
I guess this news now officially kills that ever happening, so i guess I'll go into mourning now.
No more "Dredd" :-(
