I'm amazed no one has seen this ;)

Its going to be done by Rebellion themselves and the producer, Brian Jenkins, is a miniatures fan who had his own Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TemplarsCrusade01
Now if they get Karl Urban for the job... :o :o

If you head over to 2000ADs facebook page you can sign up for updates.
I'm optimistic.There's alot of scope for them to bugger it up royally, But if they follow the guidelines of Dredd 3d with input from the comic writers we should be golden.

Wow!
I assume that means The Mouse's television option has expired.
Will it be filmed here, Canada or on location?

My guess is Canada, since the distributor (can't remember the name) is the same that did Stargate; Battlestar Galactica and those series were mainly filmed in Canada.

Awesome news! I, too, would love to see Karl Urban reprising his Dredd role, but even if they get some new actor, I'll still watch it. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

More info on the team behind it:
Attached to the production as Executive Producers are President of IM Global Television, Mark Stern, who developed critically-acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica, Helix, and Defiance at Syfy, IM Global Television CEO Stuart Ford, and the owners of Rebellion, Jason and Chris Kingsley, who along with Ford, were also executive producers on the 2012 DREDD feature film adaptation from DNA Films, Reliance Entertainment and IM Global.
so maybe we'll get a tv series closer to the 2012 movie :)

2000AD facebook says filmed in UK.

Found it funny that the producer of the series turned out to be TemplarsCrusade from YouTube (Bolt Action and Warhammer guy). So at the very least it's one of "us" at the helm of the series :D

Yeah, and this explained why he left the channel. Loved his tutorials and reviews :D

Same for me! :D But hey, if he's going to make a Judge Dredd series that's great then I'm all for him leaving his channel!

Woot!

Great!

This looks good! 8) 8) 8)

I'm OK with that as long as Dredd keeps his helmet on.

Definitely!

Local news last night said they hoped to film nearby (for Rebellion values of nearby).
As they are a games company, will they be green screening it like Sanctuary and Blood and Chrome?
-
Since they made no mention at all of Karl Urban, I highly doubt it'll be a continuation of the 2012 movie. They would have said so if it was.
-
Great news.
"Gritty but with the levity and humour of Mega City One."
If they do this right it'll be awesome.

If they do it wrong it could be Judge Dredd (1995).
I live in hope...
-
It'll certainly be interesting to see how they approach it - TV's a bit of a monster in terms of the amount of material it demands - at least there's masses of backstory to work with.
-
I'm a bit apprehensive about this! :?
We all have our own ideas of what would make a good Dredd/2000ad TV program(obviously apart from the fact that Dredd MUST keep the helmet on! That we ALL share!), these guys might have a different approach! I think I'm probably imagining Judge Dredd with Game of Thrones money/cast/production thrown at it and it'll probably be nowhere near! :'(
-
I actually liked the Karl Urban film, although some of the uniform design was a little different. I think what was done right was the dark and dismal approach to life in the Big Meg and the one-dimensional approach to the plot. Okay, so it was more or less a copy of 'The Raid', but one of the (many) mistakes made by the Stallone movie was trying to cram in as many elements from the comicbook as possible. It turned out as a mess. The newer version kept things simple and managed to stay crisp as a result.
I hope this series follows that same rule, introducing a little of the flavour week by week, without overloading everything. There should be plenty of good plots to choose from and keep it going indefinitely, without even having to write anything new.
-
I'm sure I read that Dredd actually started first and didn't copy Raid but was released second and that the similarities damaged it's reception on release.
It could work if it's not overblown and tries to be too generically friendly.
-
This may really help to fill the Game of Thrones shaped hole in some peoples' lives in a couple of years time!
I'm looking forward to it. Love Dredd, and really enjoyed the Urban film but did miss some of that lovely alternative-comedy 'down wiv Thatcher' style humour which neither of he films really included.
-
After the truly horrific Last Kingdom series. I dare not get my hopes up - at all.

The Raid', that's right! Not 'The Siege'!
'After the truly horrific Last Kingdom series. I dare not get my hopes up - at all.
Ditto. That one made me sad.

Dredd was, indeed, developed before The Raid.

And to be honest, both of them remind me of the french zombie movie "The Horde", from 2009, the only difference being that in that one they are trying to reach the lower floors. Each one is great in their own style and genre. I really hope the series gets inspiration from "Dredd"
-
What great news!
Really looking forward to it. Hope it will be in line with comics and not boring un-Dreddish Dredd 3d film.
-
Blasphemer! that was great film! :D
Not if you're a Dredd fan. It had little to do with the universe.
Could you see mutants and Kleggs in that film?
Sort of a Robocop approach to Dredd in my opinion.

When I was reading it you did not see mutants in each story, and I only remember Kleggs in Judge Cal (YMMV).
Listening to the interviews, the plan was to introduce the world gently, later films would introduce the more fantastical elements such as Judge Death.
It is like saying that the Watchers should appear in MCU films (oh, okay bad example ^___^).
What I always found interesting was the discrepancy between the population figures in the film intro and the population figures quoted by Mr Urban in the interviews, his were post Apocalypse War etc.

What about the 4 spinoffs set to be released?

Am i the only one who liked this? I DID read the entire series thus far...
I liked the darkness of DREDD. Im interested in seeing this progress. But translation from silver screen to flat screen timelines, budgets and cast remains to be seen.
-
Slightly off topic, I read most of the Last Kingdom books, those I have not read are in a pile awaiting time (I read 1.5 of the Arthurian ones, putting it on pause while the narrator was happy).
The first season of the BBC series was fine, the shape coding of the shields for your convenience was amusing.
I have recorded the second season for a binge watch.
Dredd (3D) was great and I could see that expanding and running in the same way the MCU films did, adding features as they went along. Unfortunate timing and poor returns meant that was not to be.
-
... plus you had Citi-Blocks, a hint at Citi-Def, SJS, the Lawmaster bike, the Lawgiver's different ammo ...
-
I've been a Dredd fan for years and loved Dredd 3D. It was a good adaptation of a particular kind of Dredd story, one well suited to a mid-budget film. It didn't try to cram in every element of the comics. It simply gave a good sense of the world and told a tight action-based story. I would imagine a TV series would have time to delve into the more fantastic elements. Given that it seems to be a Mega-City One series, more than a Dredd series, I hope its focus is on the city and its population, more than Dredd. It might be quite effective to keep Dredd as a background or secondary character while the focus is elsewhere.
Also, the Last Kingdom series was good.
-
Of course they couldn't get everything in the film. lol
It was an OK film, but I just don't think - from reading the comics- that it had a very Dredd like tone. :)
And obviously I'm hoping the series will have that.
-
Kleggs have been in other stories. I am reading Trifecta now and it has a Klegg. The mega collection has a book dedicated to Kleggs.
-
Dredd himself is pretty one-dimensional (as someone who used to read 2000AD regularly through the 90s, at least) in a way that doesn't make it easy to carry over to screen, and works best when being played against some of the other more colourful characters in that universe IMO - kind of like Joker in the Dark Knight.
-
Hadn't heard about the series and now am overexcited!!!
