I am the Law

Well it's been announced that a new Judge Dredd film is in development. Hurrahh!! It's got a modest budget which means the story should win out over effects ,Double Hurrah!! And it's likely that Judge Dredd will not be taking his helmet off triple Hurrah!!

Seriously if you ever want to have fun with a die hard judge dredd fan ask them what they think of Judge Dredd removing his helmet in the film with good ole sly stallone. For anyone who does know, isn't a fan or just doesn't care Judge Dredd has never removed his helmet in the comics so you can see his face. His helmet has been removed a few times but thanks to "camera angles" or items in the way you never see what he looks like.

This simple fact is one of the main things which had Judge dredd fans chewing their seats in anger when the film was released. Well that and a whole other list of things too long to go into. Still there were flashes of classic Judge Dredd, like at the start of the film where he walks into the middle of a riot and announces the inhaibtants of two whole blocks are under arrest and the point where he tells someone they should have gone out of the window rather then damage a droid. When the character tells him that it would have been suicide he calmly responds that yes it would have been but at least it would have been legal.

So the new film should be quite good because they can't do much worse. My hope is for the Dark Judges personally
