Talk about the new vision of Judge Dredd had gone very quiet over the last few months, staying under radar under the control of Andrew McDonald’s DNA Films, with scribe Alex Garland penning the latest incarnation. Now it has moved one step closer to production with Vantage Point/ Omagh director Pete Travis on board to direct.
Deadline has reported that this years Cannes festival is destined to be the auction hall for the project, that is being priced with a miniscule sub $5O million budget. Have they taken a look at what the recent Marvel mandate is attempting by chance? Less money equals more balls, or words to that effect.
Currently DNA Films has joined with Reliance Big Entertainment to source initial funding, they are now on the scour for studio backing to bring the latest vision to topple Sylvester Stallone’s 1995 effort.
