Fantasy sequel Thread.

[JOE SOAP]

I'm supportive of taking characters from the comics and putting them on-screen but subtantial alterations of character I think are pointless, just be creative and do something new.

I wouldn't say Dredd is deviating heavily

And I would say - granted I haven't seen the finished film - that DREDD is a fairly loose adaptation as these things go.

Since Death is a fairly fantastical character either way, why does where he originate from need changing? Best to do something else than change it substantially just to fit some vague verite idea.

In the Batman comics Ra's Al Ghul is an immortal 'international assassin' who wears fruity clothing, rocks a mean sideburn/'tache, is immortal and has lived for hundreds of years.

I like what they did with the character in Batman Begins, drastically altering his origin and appearance to fit into the type of film they were making.

Seriously though..Call Me Kenneth and the Robot Wars story is made for the big screen

Think I-Robot in Mega City One

[Diminished Responsibility]

If they bring Judge Death into it, then it should be a horror movie, somewhere around 'The Thing' meets 'Alien'

Some of the stuff I remember reading definitely had a fantasy/horror theme to it. We're already getting hard R rated action film, I don't think a hard R rated horror would be a stretch

I'd also like to see a take on the 'Democracy' arc though it would probably be problematic to put on screen - perhaps a blend of the human drama of America with the high-stakes, ticking-clock, huge scale action of Total War - a tense thriller where the audience's sympathies constantly flit between the judges and the terrorists. The ambiguous morality of Dredd is something I'd really like to see explored on film.

This is absolutely what I want to see. America+Total War. I think its scope would raise the stakes as a sequel should. And tell an inherently human story as Judge Dredd should. Hell, the title markets itself; Dredd: TOTAL WAR

Not sure about a third film. I'd take Judge Death, as since the Total War film will have done the 'city on the brink of annihilation by conventional weapons/people thing.

I'd say the Stallone film deviated heavily but not the new one.

I think the Nolan Batman films are a greater extrapolation -or reduction- from the comic Batman than Dredd is of Dredd. If Dredd adopted the realism of Nolan's construct Anderson wouldn't be a PSI.

It'd be fantastic fun but robots as enemies don't always make great central villains, then again you never know.

Yes! I always thought that America with an Action Total War Twist would be perfect for a movie.

Me being employed on it it probably the least plausable 

[JOE SOAP]

We'll vouch for ya.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

I think a serial killer hunt movie like Silence of the Lambs/Seven would be awesome. Dredd and Anderson team up again to hunt down a mysterious killer (later to revealed to be Judge Death)

Could get to see a lot more of Mega City One that way too.

I do like the look of Karl Urban now, but I still wouldn't mind if they used sequels to get as many different people to play Judge Dredd as possible. Every movie could be a different actor.

[JOE SOAP]

Every movie could be a different actor.

but would they keep the 'elmet on?

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Of course! That's the only way the different actors would work in my opinion.

Could be the hunt for leftie.

Just keep schtum this time...

Or perhaps they could pay you to run a Peter Jackson style V-log.
