I loved ragnarok and L&T was entertaining although it went a bit too goofy. I’ll see his Dredd just to see what he does with it.

His Dredd will probably be closer to the dumb Stallone version.

That movie was perfect for 80's/90's cheesy movies. In today's movie era this would suck.

Right there with you.

The campy humor isn’t rewatchable and is stale at this point.

It doesn’t work with Dredd at all. Same goes for James Gunn.

They could not have picked a worse director for Dredd.

There isn’t a single person in that Twitter thread that supports this.

Dredd was incredible and built the world perfectly. Why frick it up?


Are you guys referring to the movie that was made 13 years ago??? Because I feel like there’s zero chance to maintain any short of cohesion with such a long gap.

Agree on waititi being the wrong choice to reboot it though.

Dredd will blow someone away then make some off colored joke about him being on the floor. Also expect some spicy sidekick.

It is also meant to be a fun sci-fi blockbuster that nonetheless speaks to this moment in culture.


I think we all know what this means.

It's been over 5 years since the last one. Fair game to reboot now in Hollywood's eye.
