Sweet! Mind you I did like the Stallone version but I am definetly looking forward to the remake. Hopefully Judge Death & the dark judges will be the main villans.

I hope not. I'm sure that would be a fun movie, but I really want to see a movie about Dredd judging criminals. Putting Judge Death in the movie would make it just another superhero movie. Dredd's not a superhero.

What about something based along the lines of The Pit?

Police corruption detective story set against an ultra-violent dystopian backdrop. Not a superhero for decades around. Just grit, blood and drokk.

Yes... That will do.

I hope they can pull off Dredd's armored look without making it look like a costume. It's supposed to be a functional law-enforcement uniform, not a Batman costume.

Somebody suggested Ron Perlman for the part. For the life of me, I can't think of anyone better.

While I'd agree Perlman's face is very Ezquerra-esque, having google imaged both actors, I'd say Brown has the more Dredd-like mandible.

Brown as Dredd and Perlman as villain works for me.

Also the helmets for Dredd, Hershy, Fargo etc have to stay on at all times.
