Ah, that's rather lovely of him - I spoke to him for a bit at the LFCC and he brought it up in the Sunday panel.

Very nice guy.

What a guy and what a great interview. Does this mean I have to visit Shrewsbury now!

A pic of you in costume kicking down the door of a local cafe would probably make the news...

That's a fantastic interview - every time I hear the name Alex Garland, he's doing something else that just shows what a cracking fella he is.

Very nice interview. They cover quite a few subjects including the uniform, the Stallone film, possible sequels,  similarities to The Raid and even name check Minty. Good stuff. I really feels like the film is in good hands with Garland... John Wagner certainly seems happy with it all.

I can picture CF making his way to Shrewsbury for a Crime Swoop at Peach Trees...  Would certainly make some good headlines.

I can just see Judge Burdis moonlighting for the Food Standards Agency as an Environmental Health Judge. "This milk is out of date... Six months creep!"

Just checked the distance and time 416 miles round trip, 6hrs 6mins. I am so tempted!

Shrewsbury's not far from me - this will have to be done!

..if this turns out to be any good (I mean well received..) it could become a Dredd pilgrimage..

My in-laws live there, next time we're over I'll ask them to dig it out for me, silly but it'd be kinda fun to pop in.

Great interview, nice warm feeling from everyone involved.

Great interview and I'll echo what Steve and Commando Forces said about Alex Garland, top bloke and really passionate about getting the Dredd film right.

Every comment I read from Alex Garland makes me more optimistic about this film. :)

Great interview.

Every word fills me with more and more confidence that this film is going to be excellent!

And I'll be buzzing for weeks from that name check (along with the rest of the Minty team).

Great work, Goaty, but I think the rules are that you have to be dead to get one of those plaques.
