The legendary weekly British anthology publication, 2000A.D., spawned one of the most iconic science fiction characters in comic book history - Mega City One lawman Judge Dredd. Inspired by cinematic figures like Frankenstein from DEATH RACE 2000 and Dirty Harry Callahan, a feature film adaptation of Dredd always seemed inevitable.
We take a look at Danny Cannon's 1995 film JUDGE DREDD, starring Sylvester Stallone, and compare that splashy, high-profile adaptation with Alex Garland and Pete Travis' less epic but more intense and perhaps more accurate 2012 take, simply entitled DREDD, starring sci-fi regular Karl Urban. Which of these adaptations best represents the character on the page? Or do they both miss the target?
In a wide-ranging conversation, hosts Aaron Wood and Paul Docherty pontificate wildly, swimming in the future visions of their imagined past, making outrageous comparisons to Star Wars along the way...
(Paul makes reference to a message board thread the details the script development of the Danny Cannon film, which is a highly recommended read:
