Is this seriously where we're at now, where Karl Urban is going to be known for his role in the boys instead of as the best version of cinematic Judge Dredd?
Brother was wearing a helmet for the whole movie?
Part of why it was so well-done. What's the issue?
It's harder to be known for a role when most people won't know you're playing the role.
I hate that Dredd wasn't successful enough for them to make the other planned ones and start doing the weird stuff like how he arrests the literal manifestation of death for murder by trapping him inside a psyker's head. Judge Dredd is such a fun, if problematic, series with so many wacky and cool things that a grim cyberpunk cop vs gangster shootout movie just didn't even begin to capture the absurdity of it.
I want to see Karl Urban gruffly arrest himself for a petty noise violation on Christmas, because the law's the law. I want him to be the moon sheriff and ignore criminals in broad daylight because he can't legally operate in Mega-One's jurisdiction at the moment. Just the really silly stuff from before the character developed into a more rounded and pragmatic/moral character who would, in fact, go against the law when it was lacking in ways that hurt people - including non-human people like the aliens who were being farmed by Mega-One oligarchs for immortality drugs or something like that.
They announced the Netflix show years ago and there's also been no news for years
Dredd was also a really low budget movie, that's why it was set in one building, I can't imagine how they'd do stuff like Judge Death without putting a lot more money into it.
At least we also got The Raid: Redemption which was super similar to Dredd but with more flying elbows. If you haven't seen it give it a go. If you have seen it watch it again.
Yeah, I've seen it multiple times.
Funny thing is that Dredd was actually in production before The Raid, but because of multiple reasons including that the studio wanted it to be in 3D for no good reason, it got released the same year.
Whoever dreamed up turning a grenade and a fridge into a door sized shotgun was a genius, that scene is an all time great.
And now Alex Garland is making shit like Civil War lmao
smh this is chronicles of riddick erasure
I'd love to see Dredd by Alex Cox or Terry Gilliam
