Two news pieces here before I try and relax from my six hour drive while sick as a dog.
The forums at 2000 AD have confirmation on the Judge Dredd project moving forward:
Rebellion and 2000 AD are proud to announce that Judge Dredd is coming to a cinema near you soon!
Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.
Any plot details? Maybe. Click HERE to get angry if there aren't and I made you go to another webpage for no reason.
And is Arnold in T4 or not? The Arnold fans chased him down to ask him. Click on the Governator pic below to read his answer.

Judge Dredd is one of the best comic characters ever created and needs to be done correctly on screen. The key to the character is his lack of emotion; he's not a robot but his personality is completely tied in with what is right or wrong in the eyes of the law. That's the reason behind his catch phrase 'I am the law ', He has no regard for the other trivialities of life like love - he only loves the law anything else has been burned from his psyche or repressed. That's the point of the character and what makes him unique, he's like a machine with no regard for even himself and he'll go to any degree to protect the law of his city.
The screen writer of the original movie (William Wisher I think) had absolutely no idea about how to portray the character. When it comes down to it - Dredd is simple to write when you realize that he only has one real motivation, and all the comedy and absurdity in the comic arise from his tunnel vision in following the letter of the law. Hes a man who IS a machine - More than Robobop.
If you want an emotional center to a Dredd story - that will come from other characters like Chopper, Anderson or PJ Maybe - not Dredd himself.
There are presidents onscreen of characters that we like but don't really 'Know ' - COLUMBO being one example - it can be done, so there's no need for Hollywood to muck it up again.
Get Pat Mills Alan Grant or John Wagner involved with the script they're all geniuses.
Actor wise I think Clint Eastwood was the template but its too late for him now. Mickey Rourke would be a better choice than Perlman, either would be good. Bruce Campbell? On looks alone the actor Richard Burgi would be a good choice - Look him up.
DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME
