Hey folks, Harry here... A couple of days ago we received a story about a possible director's super cut of JUDGE DREDD on DVD, but I've been hearing word that that may indeed be false... Still waiting for definitive word, but today Variety is telling us that there is movement to make a back to back JUDGE DREDD series of films. To kick off the franchise again.

This does not mean Stallone will be back. HOWEVER, if he did come back, I would hope we would be seeing a far better script and zero comedy relief, which was just terrible in the original. Variety said:

"The first picture under 2000 AD's pact with independent producer Shoreline Entertainment will be "Judge Dredd: Dredd Reckoning." The project, which will see the hero losing confidence in the corrupt legal system, will be shot back-to-back with the second picture under the deal, "Judge Dredd: Possession," in which Dredd has to face up to the moral dilemma of having to kill his partner when she is possessed by Judge Death. "We are reinventing the franchise by taking it back to the edge and style of the original comicbook," said Shoreline principal Morris Ruskin, who will serve as a producer. "

If we could get a good strong Judge Death story out of this... that would kick ass like hell. Please get great folks to write these and direct them. No shortcuts. I love the comics. For about two years I wore the little DREDD shield pin on a levi jacket of mine... Big nut for it, but that movie hit me like a bad case of the liquid hersheys. And that was no fun!
