Judge Urban

Well my hopes for a CGI  Clint Eastwood were dashed at  this years Comic Con ,still at least Karl Urban knows the character seeing as he read 2000ad (more widely known in Australia and New Zealand  than say the USA ) Hope he does old Stoney face credit (he's a bit handsome for Dreddy , mind you his Bones in Star Trek film was good)maybe he's actually playing Judge Bruce and this all a red herring lol  Seems like the film will be like  film is Die Hard meets Blade Runner .according to reports . I was hoping for a story along the lines of Origins or the Cursed Earth saga(which describes how Mega City came about and how the Judges came to power would be a good introduction to the vast majority of people unfamiliar with  the character )but if it going to be Blade Runneresque and truer to the comic(The Stallone pic turned into the 1970's  Flash Gordon with it's flying bikes -Fergie wasn't a 8 foot Baseball  wielding simpleton and the uniform was all wrong ..I could go on ) but here's hoping Mr Urban can turn Dreddy into a movie franchise worthy of the comic.. just found this very interesting blog which gives lowdown on film  as it's in production http://www.judgedreddmovienews.com/  ..pity about the swear words though I'd  rather have future swear words like Drokk It and Grud on a Greenie,  language changes everyday I think an audience would accept that rather than yet another movie with tourette's syndrome.. but cool that it's going to be more faithful than the 1995  movie .. And I wonder who will play Anderson she should be an intriguing character if they get her right. .
