Most people (particularly in the States) will probably know Judge Dredd from the 1995 movie directed by Danny Cannon, and starring Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane, Rob Schneider, Armand Assante and Max von Sydow. The character however has its roots in the weekly British comic book 2000 AD, where he appeared as long ago as 1977! Pretty soon we will get another glimpse of the not so popular comic book character. The new "Judge Dredd" film is based on a screenplay from "28 Days Later" scribe Alex Garland with visuals provided by "The Losers" artist Jock.

According to creator John Wagner, the upcoming take should be much closer to the "Dredd" comics than the widely panned first film was. "I have read the script (by Alex Garland) and seen Jock's visuals," he confirmed. "While I can't go into detail about the content I can say that it's high-octane, edge of the seat stuff, and gives a far truer representation of Dredd than the first movie."

Wagner was very open and honest about his feelings concerning the first rendition of his comic book here. "I hated that plot," he said. "It was Dredd pressed through the Hollywood cliché mill, a dynastic power struggle that had little connection with the character we know from the comic."

When Wagner was asked if he was confident about the new "Dredd" he simply responded "Confident? I will be once I hear they've started filming," he said. "There's many a slip."
