Though the first JUDGE DREDD movie was pretty much a flop, comic publisher 2000 AD has signed a deal to bring back the character in two new movies.
According to Variety, 2000 AD has signed with Shoreline Entertainment for two films based on the original comic series. The first will be called JUDGE DREDD: DREDD RECKONING, which focuses on the title character as he comes to grips with his losing confidence in a corrupt legal system.
The second project has the title JUDGE DREDD: POSSESSION, which, if it happens, would bring the character of Judge Death to the screen. The story finds Dredd facing the moral dilemma of whether or not he should kill a friend who is possessed by Judge Death, a being who comes from another dimension where it's illegal to be alive.
While talking to the trade, Shoreline big shot Morris Ruskin gave his take on the property, saying, "We are reinventing the franchise by taking it back to the edge and style of the original comicbook."
Ruskin's partner, Vicki Pike, adds, "This is a great time for movies about superheroes, and there are thousands of JUDGE DREDD stories, so there is endless material available to work with. It will also be easier to brand the movies by presenting them back-to-back."

I suggested to a friend of mine that The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson) would make a great Judge Dredd. He said "No Way".
The Rock is the most articulate of all the Wrestlers and thats why he's slotted into movies so easily. Beats Stallone any day!!!! Quote from another friend of mine!
Stallone was far too wooden for the role of Judge Dredd, The Rock is more animated which is what is needed for the role.
Who else thinks that The Rock would make a great Judge Dredd?
