Mega-Metropolis One is getting a recent dose of legislation and chaos. In keeping with Deadline, Taika Waititi is about to direct a brand-new Decide Dredd film, with Drew Pearce writing the script. The venture has simply hit the market, and whereas no offers are locked in but, the artistic expertise hooked up makes this a serious play for studios.
The movie is being produced by Chris Kingsley, Jason Kingsley, and Ben Smith of Rebel Developments, together with Roy Lee of Vertigo Leisure, Jeremy Platt, Natalie Viscuso, and Pearce himself.
Decide Dredd was created by author John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, first showing within the British comedian 2000 AD. The story follows legislation enforcement officers within the sprawling dystopia of Mega-Metropolis One, the place Judges act as choose, jury, and executioner.
Through the years, Hollywood has tackled the character twice, first in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone, and once more in 2012 with Karl City’s grittier take, which went on to earn cult standing regardless of underperforming theatrically.
Whereas particulars on this new model stay underneath wraps, insiders trace it can carry among the lighter, offbeat tone that Waititi is thought for. That means a recent spin on the grim, violent world of the Judges, probably mixing satire and humor with the franchise’s trademark brutality.
With Waititi behind the digital camera and Pearce (Iron Man 3, Lodge Artemis) crafting the story, this might be a really totally different form of Decide Dredd movie, one which performs into the comedian’s roots as each ultra-violent and darkly humorous.
I simply thought that Alex Garland’s Dredd was superior, and I’d’ve liked to see that franchise proceed with Karl City. Whereas makes an attempt have been made, I by no means occurred, so… now we’re getting one other reboot.
Would you wish to see a Decide Dredd within the model of Waititi?
