The fact that you guys pointed out that the look of the Stallone movie was spot on for the city, but wasn't so much in Urban's, gives me massive amounts of hope for this project. The last film had the grit, but not the look, nor the insanity of the big Meg. Nail that on top of Urban's Dredd and you're onto a winner!
You guys anouncing DREDD on tv!!! its a child dream come true!!!I am in 7th heaven!!! just remember Creeps.....Karl is the man! or else the sentence is 30 in the cubes!! The Law is coming....Soon!!! Jiiiiiiiiiiha!!!
as much as i dredd id realisticly be unable to catch up on him through the ages, but as a younger fan of dredd, having the backstory and the enviroment, really makes me look foward to this series!
I was about ten years old when the Stallone version of Dredd came out. I loved it backed then and it ultimately got me into the Dredd comics. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for that film because of that. The Day the Law Died story arc, which the film was based on, is one of my favorite Dredd stories.
very excited about this and having a series has morsme advantage of a 1 hour 30 minute movie. It allows you to do more with the texture and feel of mega city one. cant wait to see Mega city one and view the boundry wall or the different districts.
I cannot wait for the TV series, but im willing to wait! And this podcast has just added to the hype, damn you! By the way if you need extras in the future, I'll do anything XD
I hope it will be like the comic in the respect of having one-and-done episodes in between longer arcs, encompassing all the genres of the strip; horror, supernatural, comedy as well as gritty sf.
If you can't get Karl in, how about this: - Remove the name Judge Dredd from the title - Focus on a different judge - Wait until Karl is able to / wants to then you can introduce Dredd.
That would be awesome so first you would only hear about him on 3rd person and then boom! he shows up after a few episodes.. I really like that style of storytelling similar to what they done to men in black and arnold in westworld.
*_"If you can't get Karl in"_* I like Karl -as much- well more than a few people BUT there's a chance they can find someone who can pull it off better than Karl could or at least be as good as him. Take Jon Bernthal from Daredevil Season 2. People were on the fence about him playing the iconic character and he nailed the HELL out of the character. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the last person anyone thought might make a decent action star until Inception. Bruce Willis would probably still do Soap Operas and Detective flicks if it wasn't for Die Hard. I'm sure you all can name a few example yourself.
Fanatical!? FANATICAL!!?? Drokk'n right! I been a Dredd head since 1980. But I am liking what I am hearing. I am from NZ and we all know Karl so Ill pop by his place tonight and tell him to say yes...oh wait, hes dagging the sheep this week. Ill catch him at the footy next week.
Great clip guys and thanks for answering lot of the big questions and I think we would all prefer to wait for you guys to work and have a great product at the end and if you need a Architectural designer/Amateur writer from Norfolk please just ask!
This all sounds great. For me the casting of Dredd, Urban or not goes a long way to making this a must watch. Also he must have a great uniform. Get those right and I'll happily over look other things that might not be so great. I'm with you for the long hall. Good luck and can't wait to see it.
I'm praying that a network like Netflix, Amazon, or Starz will pick up this show so they can embrace the hyper violence and zany satirical humour found in the pages of the comics.
I think that shoulder armor should probably be kept for ceremonial events at the academy I really question how cumbersome it could be on the real world everyday fighting with them. Maybe even go on different styles and colors would represent rank and different status impacting where to sit or be next to in ceremonies etc..
Here's my wish list: I'd like Dredd to be present in every episode but not necessarily the main character. He can be a catalyst at the start of an episode to kick things off or a conclusion of an episode to wrap the story up. I don't need to see him in every scene but I'd like to see him in every episode. Occasionally I'd like a story arc that'll run over three or four episodes; like the America Jara story
I enjoyed both of the movies. But the way I saw it is the Stalone version was more of the DC version of the comic and the Karl Urban version is more like 2000AD.
Very excited for this and I really wanna see Olivia Jo Thirlby back as Anderson... I also wanna see Devils Island :) I'd really love to see the rise of a few gangs running throughout the first season, teasing the coming of a huge block war in Season 2... We want the Ape Gang :) Flesh as an animation
Question for @2000ADonline everyone talks about Olivia and Karl they were incredible on Dredd and I hope they really get in the project. But one that is rarely mention is the corrupt Judge Lex (Langley Kirkwood) I think he was great and had a lot of gravitas and great performance for the small role he did. Did you guys consider him? it would be great to show him before becoming corrupt and coming to the conclusion mega city one is just a meat grinder, like an off shoot episode.
@@2000ADcomics Brian Jenkins killed this... You can actually hear the point that Jason Kingsley gets sick of his constant idiotic jabbering. Dudes a death nail for anything he touches?
Dredd didn't rip off the raid, was conceptualised and filming before Raid started filming. However, I onlt want to see the comic book bike leathers on screen, cheaper to make for the cast and represents what I want from a Dredd series.
@ilyriandevil I did read some of the first comics and the comics that I read do not take the universe that serious... compared to Dredd 2012, the movie goes toward more of what I want to see. The bike on the movie is better, the uniform think everything is better on the movie. I think they need to be careful with the craziness and comic book tropes.. I basically want to see more almost human, ghost in the shell stand alone complex, westworld, black mirror, Automata themes .. much of dredd already touch on this but less deeply. Like careful with the dimensional stuff dunno if I really want to see it.
Oh boy, for the comics read Block Mania/Apocalpse War or at the very least Cursed Earth or America. Very general but that is what I want from a Dredd series, live action or otherwise animated.
Please don't make it too camp or silly. The judges should be badass and scary. Dredd should be the baddest and scariest of them all. The ones criminals have nightmares about.That doesn't mean it can't be out there though. Legion has done fantastic.
So, so so exciting! Great to hear that the comic writers will chip in and the longer arcs peppered with MegaCity madness approach you're taking. HOWEVER my campaign to have Walter the Wobot destroyed in the first two minutes begins now (preferably before he opens his stupid mouth!)
Thanks, we just copied the original... Benefits of doing a fan film. I'm not sure you could get anything that could be ridden as a practical prop, and look as big as the comic version. Closest seems to be the batpod, but that's ridden crouching down, not sat upright like a traditional comic lawmaster. It depends if they're going for something that can be ridden as a bike, or something that's a bike on a gimbal for CU shots and maybe CGI and digital doubles for wider shots/stunts. If it doesn't have to function as a standalone bike, I guess it could be a lot closer to the comic.
A practical prop would be bloody marvellous and something I've been wanting to see done for years (I doubt we'll see one in this, but hey,one can hope :)) and something akin to the Batbike, as good as it is, would't look quite right. As much as I loved Urbans Dredd over Slys, I prefer the Sly Lawmaster (I think cause it had the Eagle on it). In the end I'm happy we're getting more Dredd (and your SD fan flick teaser is awesome :)) Edit - the closet I've come across was this (based on wheel size) www.taylormade-wheels.co.uk/harleys/13.jpg , so maybe not too impossible to do it and do justice to the original version at the same time.
Here's my wish list : The Dark Judges Angel Gang Ron Smith style humour Proper Lawmaster Perps aplenty Ottp Sump Fatties Hoverboards Kleggs Block wars Crazy Mega City architecture Boing™ Iso cubes
I really hope you can take the best from both movies, I feel lot of the stories from the 80's could still work today. Stuff like Otto Sump's story could be amazing. Like the idea of stories from the citizens point of view. Democracy leading onto America could be fucking amazing if handled well
i dont get what so great about dredd 2012, its an american take on judge dredd and it will go no where, and by the comment section below it sure looks like the americans still doesnt understand what judge dredd really is
but still, the product was targeted for the american audience nonetheless. thats why its called "dredd" and have them wearing different uniforms doing full on RAMBO american hollywood action hero stuff, it cant be canon to the 2000ad universe because it would totally fucked up the lore with all that shankar's judge dredd superfiend crap (they literally retracing artworks from the comics on that one and it shit, it makes the world of judge dredd seems small)
Most comic films are not tied to the 'canon' of their original sources because most film audiences are not familiar with the convolutions of the source material. Having said that, apart from the aesthetic of the film, the departures from canon in DREDD are very few. DREDD was clearly aimed at both the US and European markets. They are all necessary. And how many artists have drawn their own version of the city and the uniform in the comic?
Need a new Dredd ? I'm available for this project, urban was OK. His jawline wasn't up to much, pointy chin... I am the Jaw... Do it for half the price he's asking. Just saying is all.
The fact that you guys pointed out that the look of the Stallone movie was spot on for the city, but wasn't so much in Urban's, gives me massive amounts of hope for this project.

Its always great to see companies that respect their source material and fan opinions. This show is in good hands
That was brilliant. I'm in my garage, making some cupboards and listening to a 2000ad podcast. It doesn't get much better. Thanks guys.
Great (pod?) cast! Can't wait to see what happens with the MEGA-CITY universe in the tv series!

The Leopard from Lime St. wow that takes me back a bit. Would love to see that reprinted (Trigan Empire too).
can't wait for this TV show 😃
Great interviews! I can't wait for this tv series. I hope it becomes a tremendous success. It sure has the potencial!

couldn't be happier! just amazed this was not announced at the 40th celebration at the Novotel!
the place would have erupted!
If you can't get Karl in, how about this:
- Remove the name Judge Dredd from the title
- Focus on a different judge
- Wait until Karl is able to / wants to then you can introduce Dredd.

Deathmachinept Yeah it would give us a sense of a wider universe and show us more about other judges
The biggest selling point to the public and investors of the series is that Judge Dredd would be in it.
*_"If you can't get Karl in"_*

Karl Urban isn't the only actor in the world who can adquately play Judge Dredd.
Fanatical!? FANATICAL!!?? Drokk'n right! I been a Dredd head since 1980.
But I am liking what I am hearing.
I am from NZ and we all know Karl so Ill pop by his place tonight and tell him to say yes...oh wait, hes dagging the sheep this week. Ill catch him at the footy next week.
hope it will be placed on service like Netflix. Because then it will encrease the chance of me getting to see it..
I love how star wars was mentioned. 1977 was a good year to be a sci-fi nerd
The best.
The only thing that I felt let down with in the DREDD movie was the Lawmasters. They were more Honda 50 than Honda Goldwing.

They should make the TV show the whole of the Cursed Earth Saga ! Its got it all and BURGER WARS !!!!
I really want them to bring back the shoulder armour. use the "realistic" suit in the latest dredd movie but mix some of the classic in there.
I think that shoulder armor should probably be kept for ceremonial events at the academy I really question how cumbersome it could be on the real world everyday fighting with them. Maybe even go on different styles and colors would represent rank and different status impacting where to sit or be next to in ceremonies etc..
Whatever happened to the TV series ????
Thank you .

Scott Eastwood.
Dredd was inspired by Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry, so Scott is the next best thing.
Defoe and Button Man would make great TV shows. I think Leviathan would make a great epic movie.
I enjoyed both of the movies. But the way I saw it is the Stalone version was more of the DC version of the comic and the Karl Urban version is more like 2000AD.
i liked stallone,s version when i first seen it,but with hindsight i was just happy to see dredd on the big screen,karl urban nailed it,more please
Very excited for this and I really wanna see Olivia Jo Thirlby back as Anderson... I also wanna see Devils Island :)
I'd really love to see the rise of a few gangs running throughout the first season, teasing the coming of a huge block war in Season 2... We want the Ape Gang :)

I can't wait. but I want it to be perfect so I will.
ha Marvel vs DC - never saw why the love of either - 2000AD always interesting mad stories with brilliant art

as long as they stay faithful to the story ...and the helmet stays on ..!!!
Bring back the Shoulder armour, I beg you, please!
what about a dredd game that would be cool
MAN I HOPE THIS REALLY HAPPENS GO NETFLIX!!! PLS
Mega City One will also feed my cyberpunk fix. 😗
I really, really hope its Karl.
what happend to the show?
Brian Jenkins...
Don't turn your backs on Stallone Dredd... he was The LAAAAAWWWWWW
So has the TV series started yet?
Work continues on the show, Earthlet - you'll hear about it from us when there's more to announce!
@@2000ADcomics Brian Jenkins killed this... You can actually hear the point that Jason Kingsley gets sick of his constant idiotic jabbering. Dudes a death nail for anything he touches?
You guys should use the Dredd 3D uniforms I feel they are more down to earth and realistic than those on the comics..
Deathmachinept FUCK YEAH...
@ilyriandevil That doesn't work outside comic books and would look pathetic in contrast to a gritty realistic show.

is this really happening or what?when,who is doing it?what story is it gunna have and is urban guna be in it?
We need dredd instead of marvel taking over
It's official guys, dredd was a prequel to stallones dredd 😂 ;)
Please don't make it too camp or silly. The judges should be badass and scary. Dredd should be the baddest and scariest of them all. The ones criminals have nightmares about.That doesn't mean it can't be out there though. Legion has done fantastic.

You need to listen to the episode, Earthlet ;)
get tom hardy, i dont need some kiwi guy as dredd, its judge dredd not shankar dredd
Fuck you.

Just please don't make it "Gotham-esque". Want a dark, gritty, grimy, futuristic saga. Want to see a lot of Mega-City One in all it's glory.

Keep the costume design from Karl Urban's Dredd.
