A new “Judge Dredd” feature film is being shopped around at the Cannes Film festival, according to Deadline. DNA Films has reportedly reached a deal with Reliance Big Entertainment and IM Global to finance the film with a budget in the $50 million range. The film will be released in 3-D with a script by Alex Garland and it will be directed by Pete Travis.
Dredd is looking to overcome the specter of the horrific 1995 Sylvester Stallone vehicle. Creator John Wagner will be a creative consultant on the film co-produced by “District 9” supervising producer Michael S. Murphey.
Alex Garland penned the script, described by Wagner as a high-octane slay ride through the dark underbelly of a vast futuristic city.
“Judge Dredd” was created in 1977 by writer Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra in the pages of “2000 AD.” The original comic follows the exploits of the title character, who is essentially the “judge, jury and executioner” of criminals in a futuristic city called Mega-City One.
