I like to get a few links, so it's not just some nutter posting.
The writer is the guy who wrote 28 Days Later, and the director did Omagh. There's a lot more potential here than the original film.
Also, I just read the first six issues of 2000 AD. Enjoyable stuff - very dated, but in a good way for the most part. I have to say, the early Dredd is a lot different than the later. I also find Flesh (where cowboys hunt dinosaurs for meat) hilarious.
I enjoyed Judge Dredd quite a bit, good fun!
I'm about as excited about the 3D remake as I am about all the other 3D remakes. It ranks right up there with finding out that McDonald's will be serving hamburgers today.
