Judge Dredd Movie is Green Lit!

[mogzilla]

hell, at least after dark knight they should be able to get the bikes right this time?!?!?

Thanks for the insights and responses after my post, fellas.

Ya gotta respect Clint. He's given us some of the most memorable tough-guy movies of the last few decades. I really must get around to seeing Grand Torino soon.

It's just... gnng... can't easily express it - but whenever folks mention Clint Eastwood and Judge Dredd in the same sentence, I try to picture it. And I just think he'd look wrong in the uniform.

Mind, you, that applies to an awful lot of folks too!

I thought everyone was holding out for Clancey Brown to play Dredd.

Clancey Brown would be a good choice I think.

I always thought Bruce Willis would make a good Dredd.

No - hear me out!

I reckon Brucie's probably the right sort of age to carry it off now. He has the right acting chops to pull off the gruffness and black humour behind the character. Plus, I really think his face would look good under the visor.

Yup. I thought about that one!

[Mike Gloady]

If Bruce Willis were to be interested he'd get my vote (not that it'd count for anything) - unlike Stallone who I had ALWAYS felt wouldn't be up to the task.

Good suggestion.

If Clancy Brown did Dredd all I would be able to think of was Mr Krabs, Money money money money.

You're all wrong!

Clearly, Matthew Fox is the only actor who can play Dredd.

Heretic! Burn the heretic! Throw him to the baying hordes that they may cleanse his hide with fire!

I still think it should be Josh Brolin, big chin, gruff voice and of medium years. I know, I'll photoshop you piccy and find a suitable soundbite to illustrate my theory, and then, if you don't get it, you're all slackjawed... 

[Mike Gloady]

Jim and Kerrin, you're both very very bad people.

[Roger Godpleton]

I think Dennis Haysbert might be a good fit as Dredd.

Okay - semi serious suggestion here:

If it were a question of getting the best actor for the role, and they were deficient in the chin department, but could deliver the lines SPOT ON...


How would we all feel about the guy wearing a prosthetic chin?

Possibly a good idea, although these days it would be CGI. Look at Two Face in The Dark Knight and think how much easier a large chin is.

I've just come across a Judge Dredd sketch by Alex Garland from 2006 in Gia Milinovich's blog.
