Authorities are searching for a missing teen girl who failed to return home from work.
Jadon Young, 16, was last seen on Tuesday morning when she left home to go work at Six Flags theme park in Austell.
Young's mother alerted police Tuesday evening after she searched the Five Points MARTA station and spoke with MARTA police. She said Jadon was expected to ride the train to Five Points and transfer to a MARTA bus that would deliver her to her grandmother's home in SE Atlanta.
According to her mother, Young is described as about 5'6" tall and around 135 lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink v-neck tee shirt, khaki pants and carrying a transparent backpack.
No foul play is suspected. Young has never run away from home.

Edwardsville, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Reggie Smith scored 19 points and Sherman Blanford registered a double-double to lead the Eastern Illinois Panthers to a 78-74 victory over the SIU Edwardsville Cougars in an Ohio Valley Conference finale at the Vadalabene Center.
Blanford had 13 points and 14 rebounds for Eastern Illinois (11-18, 7-9 OVC), which won back-to-back games to finish the regular season.
Donivine Stewart tallied 15 points to pace SIUE (11-19, 7-9), which has lost four of its last five games. Tim Johnson and Keaton Jackson each chipped in 12 points, Kris Davis netted 11 and Ray Lester finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Eastern Illinois may have only shot 41.4 percent from the floor in the first half, but it limited SIUE to 38.5 percent and led, 31-26, at intermission.
The Cougars heated up to 59.4 percent shooting in the second frame, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Panthers, who outscored their hosts, 26-6, from the free-throw line in the final 20 minutes.
SIUE lost despite a 21-9 scoring edge from beyond the arc. Eastern Illinois went 31-of-41 from the charity stripe.

On Monday, Jan. 21, 2013 representatives from Tucker churches, schools, organizations and businesses will join together for a morning of service in recognition of the "beloved community" ideal proclaimed and embodied in the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
The idea for this Day of Service came from a group of local ministers meeting at Tucker High School, and other members of the community quickly embraced the opportunity.
The Day of Service will begin at Tucker High School at 9 a.m. with sign in, registration, and words of instruction. Coffee and other breakfast refreshments will be provided. Participants will also have the opportunity to write a card to a Tucker High school faculty member thanking them for their work on behalf of our community.
At 9:45 a.m., participants will move to one of six locations, including Tucker High School, the Tucker Nature Preserve, Brockett Elementary School, Smokerise Elementary School, Tucker Middle School, and Networks Cooperative Ministry. Most projects will conclude between 11:30 and 11:45 although some will continue until later in the day.
Anyone is invited to participate in the MLK Day of Service in Tucker. You may register online here.
Please note that the registration form is a pdf that is filled out and submitted online. Also, children are welcome to participate as long as they have a parent present. High schoolers may be left in the charge of a teacher or organization leader. The Day of Service staff is not responsible for the supervision of children and teens.
For questions or more information about the MLK Day of Service in Tucker, please click on the web link in the article above, or contact Shawn Duncan, MLK Day of Service in Tucker Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or me, Randy Shepley, MLK Day of Service in Tucker team member at 770-938-1688 or email@example.com.

New JUDGE DREDD Film Is Greenlit For Production By DNA FILMS!!!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I fucking love 2000 AD. When it burst onto the comic scene, it was unlike anything I'd ever seen... and when Stallone was signed to play Judge Dredd... I was so fucking excited... And then the movie sucked sewer sludge and I wept... alot... cuz I felt so many people had seen this and just felt that the source material must be lame too... and it is not! 2000 AD is friggin greatness! And the production company behind SUNSHINE and 28 WEEKS LATER. We have no details as of yet (PLEASE JUDGE DEATH, PLEASE!) - but with the film set to go into production in 2009, you can bet we'll probably be hearing details shortly.
CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL PAGE! Rebellion and 2000 AD are proud to announce that Judge Dredd is coming to a cinema near you soon! Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009. Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, 'We can't give away too many details at this point, but we're looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen.'

Love dredd. First encountered him in that first batman team up, have since collected most of the eagle color reprint series and a bunch of "dredd rules!" . I even liked the stallone movie when it came out (i was 11) and deeply cherished the sega game that accompanied it. I canno be more plesed that Dredd, The Shadow, and the Phantom are all getting second chances at cinematic glory.
Dec. 19, 2008, 11:23 p.m. CST
by digitalcos
The first one coulda been great. They certainly nailed the costume and the look of the film. Stallone shoulda been awesome... then he took the helmet off.
Yeah, I know, you don't cast Stallone then hide his face the entire movie, but, c'mon.
I'm not even gonna start on Rob Schneider.
Dec. 19, 2008, 11:24 p.m. CST

I generally don't like Stallone, but he does fit the part
by br1947
As other have said, he was good as Dredd, it was just the rest of the film that blew. It was way too campy/comedic. Can't really think of anyone to play him today. Most action actors today are rail thin, need someone with some bulk.
Dec. 20, 2008, 12:04 a.m. CST
Stallone fits the part even more now

Because he has aged since. I bet the producers want to distance themselves though.
Dec. 20, 2008, 12:13 a.m. CST
The problem with the 1995 film...
by MetalMickey
..is that the entire plot was fixed around Stallone removing Dredd's helmet. That said, the practical ABC Warrior robot was FUCKING AMAZING. Dredd sez Ray Stevenson for Joe!

Dec. 20, 2008, 12:51 a.m. CST
The ABC warrior robot WAS amazing...
by King Conan
the whole look of the film was perfect. The suit, the helmet, the bike, the lawgiver. The SCRIPT sucked unfortunately. Once it was on cable and I watched the first half hour with the tv on mute and it was so incredible looking. I remember in the theatre when Dredd first told the criminals in that building.."Throw down your weapons and prepare to be judged!!" ...my mouth hit the floor and I thought it was gonna be a sick movie. Too bad it was all downhill after that scene.
Dec. 20, 2008, 12:51 a.m. CST

Asante was cool /ABC robot/ evil german dude always forget his name/ Slys voice with helmet ON/ Angel cannibals/ diane lanes perfect ASS
Dec. 20, 2008, 1:36 a.m. CST
Stallone sucked, as usual...
by BurnHollywood
Motherfucker had 1 1/2 movies in him (meaning the Rocky series).
 No shit...when he insisted on removing Dredd's helmet...did it surprise anyone? The Suck had to hit maximum, and stay there. What a prick.

...Could you fucking Gen-Ys stop getting your panties wet over garbage that made us Gen-Xs go apeshit and treating it like it meant something other than the the profit-sucking Nineties disaster area it truly was? Stallone's DREDD slurped my granny's panties...and she was dead twenty or so years by that time. Move on.

When you get the chance, Google "2000AD," Wikipedia it, whatever. When I discovered 2000AD, the synopses of those stories were more entertaining than most comics I read at the time. Read more about it; you owe it to yourself as a geek. Ooh, that, and TVTropes. The Web is addictive.

Judge Dredd and Congo
by antonphd
My two big guilty pleasures that summer. Too bad they couldn't just use Stallone again. He's better now for the part than he was then. As for Mickey Rourke... Judge Death? Hehe. Looks the part already. But if they go with Statham and do it right... if he keeps the helmet on... then I'll be happy.
Dec. 20, 2008, 2:42 a.m. CST
WTF did I just say???
by antonphd
Jason Statham??? I need to sleep. I don't know where that came from. He can do the acting and action but his voice does not work. Can not work.
Dec. 20, 2008, 2:44 a.m. CST
"When I discovered 2000AD..."
by Ravetin
"...the synopses of those stories were more entertaining than most comics I read at the time."
 you're not fucking kidding, I like this: Weakened by the effects of Block Mania, Mega-City One is attacked and invaded by the forces of East-Meg One. Almost half the city (400 million people) are killed in nuclear strikes. Many more die from radiation sickness, starvation and cold. The Mega-City Judges are unable to strike back as the Sov city is protected by a dimensional force field. Instead, the Judges fight a guerilla war, eventually culminating in the destruction of East-Meg One when Dredd captures a Sov missile bunker.

 And this: Judge Death, an alien superfiend from another dimension, arrives in Mega-City One. Believing all life is a crime, he embarks on a killing spree before being caught and imprisoned.

 Fuck me: "Sabbat the Necromagus re-animates the corpses of the dead and uses them to attack the world's Mega-Cities, leading to the deaths of billions." Jesus Christ I need to get back into comics.

JUDGE DEATH Is One of the Greatest Comic Villains...
by alucardvsdracula
Why he hasn't been brought to the screen by now is a mystery, a riddle, a puzzle, a christmas box with a feted turd waiting inside dripped out of Stallones saggy old asshole. Anyway DEATH vs DREAD BRING THIS FUCKER ON.

Dec. 20, 2008, 3:46 a.m. CST
Would they be daring enough
by theyreflockingthisway
to not show Dredd's face? Correct me if I'm wrong (I've never read 2000AD) but isn't it true that in the comic he has never been seen without his helmet on?

 I'd think that would be quite interesting if they did that in the film. But then what actor would sign up for that? I hope there's someone out there willing to hide their face for the entire film (or they could just hire an unknown).

This is how it should be.....
by Gabba-UK
.....but of course won't be. The story should be a three film series based on the Democracy story-arc with the second film concentrating on Necropolis. Chopper should feature prominently in all three film and used as a story telling device to keep Dread on the course of what he believes to be right. The first person on the crew of the film to mention a sidekick other than PSI-Judge Anderson or Hershey must be hung and their body displayed on set as a warning to those who are stupid. Ron Pearlman as Dread as he is professional and smart enough to know that keeping the helmet on is needed. John Hurt should be the voice of a fully realised Rob Bottin created Death. Ludivine Sagnier or a blond haired Eva Green as Anderson with Carrie-Ann Moss as Hershey. Keep the Angel Family as far from the thing as is possible. The most important thing is this. The Director MUST be a non-American. British preferably but someone who understands irony and pathos and dark humour. Not saying there isn't any American directors who don't but the only ones I'd trust to direct this flick wouldn't be interested in it and not want to change it. But as we all know this isn't going to happen...... unless Christopher Nolan wants to do it that is.

Yeah this one is worth a remake, moreso than Hulk or Punisher.

Angel Gang
by Captain RawBeard
The new Judge Dredd film should be a re-boot like Batman Begins. Would be cool if they started it with Dredd fresh from Academy.

 The story should focus on the Angel gang running riot in the city and with Mean Machine are pretty much unstoppable until Dredd steps it up sealing his rep as the most feared Judge in Mega City One. Scatter film with hints of Judge Death.

 Personally I would like to see a Rogue Trooper film. And a film about Chopper with a Judge Dredd cameo.
Dec. 20, 2008, 6:34 a.m. CST
Dredd black?
by ScotiaNova
Original arist (not the creator) Mike McMahon has said that he originally drew Dredd as being black (hence the distinctive jawline) and as the strip was in black and white his ethnicity went away. So . . . why not go black?

Mega city one was always new york
by mynamesdan
there was a wasteland between there and texas- where the judges all wear cowboy-helmets. i say give it to blur studios. sly can still voice it but clint eastwood was always the original dredd/ no matter what the 2000AD bots said ten years ago. look at him. he's dirty harry. it was only a contractual obligation movie first time around. from the same contract that brought you demolition man, daylight and cliff hanger (i think it was a five picture deal- can anyone illuminate/ correct me on this?) anyhow- sly was on a pay-or-play so the time was never invested in the character. they robbed us all and themselves with the first Judge dredd movie- it could have spawned a franchise like Blade or now the terminator- but they really messed it up. mean machine looked good though.
Dec. 20, 2008, 6:55 a.m. CST
Sly showed respect
by ScotiaNova
I think it's fair to say that Sly tried to push Dredd closer to the source material (he pushed for the comic covers over the opening titles (at least that's what they said at the time)).

by RockLobster800
I thought this was due a rebootabout time too-now that we get good directors doing comics adaptations hopefully it will land in the hands of someone who actually understands the material (at the satirical intentions behind most of it)and will finally get the screen treatment it deserves (imagine if Paul Verhoeven got his hands on it....ooooh baby). And yeah, Judge Death and ALL the Dark Judges should be the villains-the necopolis storyline has cinematic written all over it...and Dredds moral ambiguity as a facist cop is compelling enough on its own if handled properly. Dredd would be better suited to a tv series actually, but it would need to be on HBO with all the violence and controversial storylines you could get out of it....let the casting speculation begin! I would bet some one like Scott Patterson would be good for it, but he only really has the look...I dunno about the voice. Tom Jane maybe if we can bury the punisher memories...orrrr adam baldwin. Anyone else?

I am with you Harry! 2000 AD was a terrific series of Comics that I read when I was young kid in the Military stationed in Germany and working long, boring 12 hour shifts in communications and helping to keep the world safe from the "Evil Empire" 2000 AD and Judge Dredd along witht the ABC Warriors had terrific stories and were a blast to read. I too had high hopes for the 1995 movie that came out only to be sorely and terribly disappointed by the crap it truely was!! I hope that this time around? A lot more care and thought will go into the planning, pre-and-post production, special effects, storyline AND above all else..the casting of this new film!! I want to see a gritty sci-fi film taken from the pages of AD 2000 and made into something the old fans can appreciate and get the people who have never read or heard of 2000 AD & Judge Dredd excited and happy to see.
Dec. 20, 2008, 7:41 a.m. CST

by quantize
If you read 2000AD you understand the helmet is an essential part of the character..the dude sent his mother to jail in early issues for chrissakes! Trying to humanize Dredd by showing his face basically goes against everything in the comics and the humor of zero tolerance policing in a fucked up future. BTW 2000AD is THE fucking coolest comic on the planet...always has been..always will be.

 The cheesy/serious delivery of "I AM the law!". Armand Assante's Stallone impression. Silvestri's fantastic score. "Bitch!" - "Judge Bitch!".

That young artist was Chris Halls (when he did 2000ad stuff), better known to us now as Chris Cunningham (and if you don't know who that is -considering your regurgitation of that story I'm guessing you don't- you should be ashamed!). That ABC Warrior was fucking awesome. Your black Dredd story is cool. Never heard that one. But yeah like others have said, the essence of Dredd (Black or white) was always Eastwood, and he was always a fascist prick!
 Cunningham also did Mean Machine (who he'd drawn for 2000ad) which no-one has even mentioned from the look of it (aside from a ref to the Angel gang). I think he worked on Dredd's helmet too but I'm a bit foggy on that one.
 As for the whole payment thing, Cannon was a fan of Hammerstein and wanted to use him, so it's not like he wasn't aware. Maybe he just didn't tell the producers!... And yes "designed" is fair. The comic design could just have been a man-in-suit, but Cunningham made it look like an actual robot. I'm trying to remember but I think Cunningham had already done Alien 3 and Maybe Nightbreed by then? Hadn't started working with Kubrick yet though I don't think.

by grampageezer
Actors are vain people otherwise they wouldn't want their faces splashed across a 40 foot high screen so every pore can be scrutinized - and they surely don't want it covered up with a mask. Therefore, this will be just another movie where the director will find a reason for the actor who plays the superhero to only have to wear his mask 5 percent of the time. I hope they get it somewhat right though this time around - But I'm sure they'll fall back to the old formula by signing Chris Rock or Chris Tucker as Dredd's comic sidekick, and probably make Dredd a thin 23 year old heart-throb with a romantic twist to the story to get the women to buy tickets. Now if they only would use something like Simon Bisley's version of Judge Dredd facing off Judge Death as inspiration, that would make a good flick.

My thoughts
by Rogue Trooper
The first Dredd movie could have been a whole lot worse. If I watch it now and accept that it's an interpretation of Dredd then it's not so bad. I think the worst aspects off the first film were Dredd's sense of humour (he doesn't have one), Dredd's relationship with Judge Hershey (Judges kissing?! I think not!) and Dredd taking his helmet off. As for casting I see a lot of British actors names being banded about. The nationality of the actor isn't so important as the fact that Dredd be played as American. Casting wise I think there's two ways to go – if it's a live action movie go with a no-name actor that's happy keeping the helmet on, if it's an animated feature then that opens up the field and gets rid of the ego element Off the top of my head I think Neill Blomkamp would be a great director for a Dredd film. Or how about Paul Verhoeven maybe? (RoboCop was a pretty good Dredd rip-off, why not let him loose on the real thing). Whoever it is they should be familiar with the source material and back story. 2000AD is a great source of stories; I'm surprised that more movies haven't been made yet. The Ballad of Halo Jones would make for an interesting trilogy and of course I'd like to see Rogue Trooper on the screen in one form or another. One other movie based on a 2000AD story has been made – the under rated Hardware directed by Richard Stanley which was based on a 2000AD story called Shok!

...and everything else will fall into place. Judge Dredd, as written by John Wagner, is one of the most sarcastic, witty, black-humoured future comic stories ever written. What other comicbook would have Otto Sump's 'GET UGLY!' craze taking a future city by storm? (a fad where the entire population of Mega-City One starts getting plastic surgery to make themselves brutally deformed and, well, ugly!)

 This morbidly jaded vibe of the Judge Dredd universe was compeltely absent from the Stallone 'Dredd' movie, and it's the main reason fans of 2000AD and Dredd were so disappointed with that attempt to make a Dredd film. It was as though someone who had never read a single copy of 2000AD had been given a budget and some props and just went ahead and made an action film. It completely missed the whole point. And as much as I like Stallone, he is not Dredd. Dredd is more Clint Eastwood (obviously Eastwood is too old and highbrow anyway to do it, but Wagner wrote him to be Eastwood.)
Dec. 20, 2008, 10:44 a.m. CST
Too bad Jerry Goldsmith is gone...his trailer score was great!
by Drath
The trailer music for Judge Dread (reused later many times, notably on Lost in Space's trailer) was outstanding, and it always bewildered my why he was replaced with Alan Silvestri--a fine composer but his score was not nearly as awesome as the brief composition that Goldsmith had written. Oh yeah, the ABC robot in that movie looked awesome, but instead of being Robocop2 he was just a big bland prop with no personality. I'd have killed to hear him talk with James Earl Jones's voice (as I was sure that's what Jones had been cast to do until he basically read an opening crawl to us).
Dec. 20, 2008, 10:49 a.m. CST
by Ray Gamma
DO NOT give the part to Jason Statham or Vinnie Jones or some other beefnecked non-actor. Can you imagine Vinnie Jones hamming up the accent? Dredd is a native of a future east-coast America metropolis, not Albert Square.

 It actually has to be someone who is quite haggard and weather-beaten, who is also able to really act, in a jaded, sarcastic tone. If he hadn't already done Hellboy I would suggest Ron Perlman for the role, he's already the physical embodiment of Judge Dredd, right there in the flesh. Oh fuck it, give Perlman a call. He should do it.

The Stallone Judge Dredd is not horrible
by Quake II
It has some problems, but the production design is amazing. I felt it was too light to be rated R. It felt like a PG-13 movie. Should have had tons of gore and less of Stallone's face. Overall I think it is decent. Shit, I may put it in right now. Love the prison escape, Robot activation and prisoner transport crash stuff.

Doug Jones for Death
by McFlyWalker
You only need to think of his Buffy "gentleman" role or the "pale man" in Pans Labyrinth to know he'd nail. Lance Henriksen as Chief Judge.............& how about Jack Coleman as Dredd himself, since Dredd isn't a meathead in the comics

Yeah, I know. He's wrong for Dredd, but I've just decided to start pimping him for every leading role until he actually gets one. Hollywood need to get their head out of ass.

Jason Statham would not make a good Dredd but he would make a fantastic Rogue Trooper.

 I would also like to see a hard R rated Slaine movie.

 Bruce Campbell as Sam Slade: Robot Hunter

 Stronium Dog and Harlem Heroes would make great films too.

wookie1972....i dont know
by bacci40
but when i read the original series, i heard brit accents when the characters spoke....i know they aint supposed to be brits, but that is what i heard...romans werent brits either...but a brit accent always works when portraying romans...and stevenson would be inspired casting....punisher sucked, but he made a great frank castle
Dec. 20, 2008, 12:15 p.m. CST
by wookie1972
WE'll have to agree to disagree. We can all agree that Stallone was wrong, but Dredd is American, pure and simple. He's the ultimate American fascist police officer, DIrty Harry meets Batman on a very bad day. The reason brit accents works for playing Romans is because we have no idea what Romans sounded like. Having Brits (Stevenson is Northern Irish, btw, technically British, but not really) in the US would just be silly.

Stallone vs Brown.

Though yeah Rob Schneider was really really annoying in film and the plot could've been better. Stallone was fine in the part, the script blew chunks. Now It would be interesting to see Stallone back and Clancy Brown as the Judge Death.... Stallone vs Brown...Now That's something I'd love to see.

by Turtle_Z

I thought originally one of the models for Dredd
by dogrobber
was Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry (not that it really matters). While physically a Thomas Jane type is a good match whoever (whomever? whosoever? whomsoever?)is cast (no matter their nationality) does need to portray Dredd with a distinctive deep voice similar to the aformentioned Brown, Ironside, Perlman, or Michael Wincott.
Dec. 20, 2008, 12:36 p.m. CST
...Was a Massive Pile of Wank!
by Turtle_Z
I walked out of the cinema apologising to my Mrs for dragging her to see it. I wanted to chop Danny Cannon's alls off. I've watched it twice more since (on the telly) just to prove to myself how bad it was. Ok, if you aren't an old time Dredd fanboy like me, and if the film is your only real exposure to Dredd, maybe it wasn't so bad. But for me they might aswell have sacrificed my childhood right up there on the screen. It was as bad if not worse than Highlander 2... and if anyone says that wasn't bad they need sterilising for the good of the human race.

Appearances in comic without helmet
by Hotscot
As far as I'm aware. Dredd has been seen without his helmet twice. Way back in the early days he used a face changing device to change his look when infiltrating a gang, so it wasn't his real visage. Then, I think it was last years Christmas issue, an interpretation of his face was shown. On another occasion he took his helmet off but we didn't see his face since a "censored" logo was plastered over the frame. Been buying 2000AD since Prog.#1 when I was 15, I'm now 47.

One time. If I find the time I'll dig it out but it was about a year ago..
Dec. 20, 2008, 2:28 p.m. CST
Some good ideas
by Null Arc
The Sly movie was great (yes, except for the Schnieder/helmet/Assante issue)Keep all that, and go with someone that doesnt need to have their face on the screen. I think I'd have had more respect for Sly if he didn't take off the helmet. Diane Lane was smokin, but romance just takes away from the pure testoserone that was Dredd. Ray Stevenson, Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham. All three have the physique, and the chin. But Vinnie Jones is a large man, and could be very imposing in the armor and helmet. How about Dominic Purcell? Good build, and good jaw. But whatever they do, DONT TAKE OFF THE DAMN HELMET.

Timmy Elephant for Dredd!
by Despotellis
Hitman wasn't great and he was miscast in Die Hard 4, but his Deadwood performance was spot on, spitting his words through gritted teeth just like a young Clint Eastwood. Perfect. A cameo by Clint as Fargo couldn't hurt either. "Gaze into the fist of Dredd, punk." http://tinyurl.com/9nofts

I do think that with the currect tech available to filmmakers that it's a worthy reboot, though. I have NO preference in regards to who would play the title role, or any of the smaller ones for that matter. But I do think it would be cool if Sly had a cameo or a small part.

M-O-O-N. That spells "Prepare to be judged!"
by Tom Cullen
And I judge Ray Stevenson to be the best candidate for Judge Dredd. One, he can act. Two, he's big and intimidating. Three, he's capable of bringing a great growling voice. And four, he's not Jason Statham (though I do agree that Statham could make a great Rogue Trooper though) or Vinnie Fucking Jones, two guys who should be kept as far away from Dredd as possible. After the failure of Punisher War Zone I don't see producers taking the risk on Stevenson though, unfortunately. This despite him easily being the best Punisher so far, something that even folks who didn't like the new film (of the few who saw it) seemed to agree on.
And while Megacity One was always set in America, I think people expect a certain british cross cultural sensibility to the inhabitants, though I've always thought that Dredd should have more of a nuetral accent, something that you can't clearly tie to any particular (current) accent, as his past should be clouded in mystery as much as possible. As such I don't want to hear a Judge Dredd from the Bronx, or a Judge Dredd from Wales, or an Australian Judge Dredd, I just want that Judge Dredd growl of a voice, the one that convinces me that He Is The Law.
As for other Dredd candidates, Perlman doesn't have the authority to his voice for it, and as big as he is, I've never found him all that intimidating. Bruce Campbell is too fat and too jokey. Clancy Brown could be excellent, if he can still tap into his inner Kurgan, but I doubt he's considered enough of a name to be in contention. Likewise Michael Ironside would have been perfect back in the day, but is probably seen as being just too old now. Tom Jane I think would likely want to soften the character to make him more 'relatable' (ala Punisher), and remove the helmet to boot, so he's out. He never really convinces me as a tough guy anyway, let alone the ultimate badass that Dredd needs to be. Whoever they pick, he needs to be a man, and look like it, and not some kid or skinny prettyboy actor. We shall see.

There was also the Dead Man storyline 18 years or so ago. He appeared without his helmet for weeks, but acid-scarred.
 And he's been seen from behind without his helmet a few times.

Dec. 20, 2008, 5:51 p.m. CST
Somebody over at the 2000 AD forums...
by J.B.M.A.
...suggested Josh Brolin for Dredd. Facewise he's a perfect match. Need to bulk up some though. Could he do a Dredd voice? Tom Cullen is right - it does need to be as neutral as possible whilst still giving you the shivers.

i cant beleive im the first to put that the reason the abc warrior(hammerstien) and mean machine angel were so cool in the 95 film is because they were the early prosphetic work of Chris Cunningham who went on to direct all those twisted aphex twin/squarepusher/bjork videos. the problem with filming dredd is the same as batman.what he does and who he is ,is secondary to whats going on around him in the chaos that is mega city one(gotham?) you need a complete unknown to play him ,he has to be a force of nature,fill the supporting cast with whoever you want. YES doug jones for judge death!! i say HBO should step up to the bar in this post heroes/wire tv world and make this into a tv show,where dredd is seen only fleetingly,cleaning up the mess of the denizens of mega city one

A Dredd movie can never be good unless . . . .
by Filmrage
the film makers 'get' the philosophy behind the character. When i say character i don't 'only' mean Dredd but i also mean the world its set in and the crime ridden megga city1 and also the Judge system. If the film doesn't get that righ then it just becomes another future cop movie. The original creators of Dredd intended him to be hated by the readers. He was supposed to be a sadistic 'hanging judge'. They intended him as an oh so sneaky social comment on conservative Western society. But the plan backfired on them and the readers loved him so they had to go with the flow. Yes, Dredd is in fact sadistic at times but what makes him acceptable and even admired is the face that crim is at pandemic proportions in Mega city 1 and as horrific as an encounter with a stickler like Dredd is for any citizen, anything is preferable to sinking any further into the chaos that is life in the big Meg. In the movie we have to see all that, we need more context for Dredd, not just showing us that he's a tough future cop in a huge city. We need to see how sacrificial the judges are too. Their spartan lifestyle allows for no personal life, even no relationships apart from the comaraderie of their fellow judges in the execution of their duty. We need to see how fair they are, no matter how harsh that fairness seems. How they are servants of the law and ultimatly the people. Unless they can really catch the history and philosophy of the Judges then the movie will always be a shallow actioneer. Dredd 95 was the biggest movie dissapointment of my life. There was better scenes in the console games cutscenes or even the pinball game. I am looking forward to Dredd 2010 though. ;)

95 Dredd... So Much Wasted Potential
by Autodidact
I think the 1995 movie was pretty spot-on from a design standpoint. They got the look, sound and movement of almost everything down pat. Some of those sets were fantastic, as were Mean Machine and the ABC Robot. The flying cycle looks just right, etc... too bad Stallone had to make it into such a trashy star vehicle. The CGI money shot tribute to Blade Runner still impresses me when I see it. I have actually rented Judge Dredd three or four times over the years, shoulda just bought it.

Dredd's look
by the grev
Dredd's look was based on a whole bunch of stuff, including the poster for Death Race 2000 and Clint Eastwood, but even so John Wagner only envisaged him as a Dirty Harry style future cop. Nobody expected that Carlos Ezquerra would chew these influences up and spit out a sci-fi psycho on a huge fucking motorbike. Even today there's only a rough guide to drawing Dredd. That's why every artist who draws Dredd draws him differently.

by LabattsBleu
I was a huge Dredd fan and was terribly disappointed in the movie - many are right in saying the look and art direction were pretty great (i mean ABC was awesome and Mean Machine was close, though he needed to go "4" on someone!) I don't blame Stallone, i am sure the execs told him to take off the helmet...I really, really hope they make is as satirical and smart as the comics were... And Esquerra was THE artist to draw Dredd! From the talkbacks, i think DNA might have a surprise hit if they do this right...

I can't believe that both of you would point out mr Cunningham's early work in the Judge Dredd movie and not suggest that he's now the right man for the directors seat . . .

Eastwood as Dredd

Only one man can play Dredd, Clint Eastwood, and they should do "The Dead Man" story line.

Oh I thought about it all right Scotianova
by half vader
And suddenly got very scared because I follow all his stuff. Have you SEEN what he's up to lately? The VICE magazine self-portrait? The last clip he did with the alien/squid girl? Rubber Johnny (and more specifically the photoshop work in the accompanying book)?! Even if he did the ugly storyline I think it might be too much to handle - his sense of humour has, let's say "changed" a bit.
 Of course I can see where you're coming from. The futuristic stuff & humour in Come on my Selector, the "Uglies" in Windowlicker, are so Dredd...

adam baldwin for Dredd....
by RockLobster800
Doug Jones for Judge Death voiced by Andy Serkis....I'd like to see Baldwin be given a chance a decent acting role...I loved him in Firefly but the role wasnt exactly meaty was it? I think he deserves a shot at a role that would give him a chance to show his stuff and Dredd seems as good as any...
Dec. 22, 2008, 8:17 a.m. CST
Adam Baldwin is underrated.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
He's great in all he's in but he's always stuck in minor backup roles. He got his big breaks in My Bodyguard, and DC Cab, but his career didn't keep going. DC Cab was awesome, and it had everybody in that. He would be a great Dredd.

Doug Jones as Judge Death
by DocPazuzu
Holy shit, that's genius.
 Kudos to the guy who mentioned D.R. & Quinch, btw. Hilarious comic. Love the bit when they went back in time and manipulated the structure of Earth's continents. Thousands of years later, ambassadors from Earth try to become members of the Galactic Federation. At a ceremony where the ambassadors reveal images of what Earth looks like, they are unaware of the obscene insults which our continents spell out in the alphabet of the Federation. Earth is then naturally reduced to a cinder.

Hugo Weaving
by Mosquito March
Yeah, he's not a big name, but everybody knows him. He's got the stature, the deep voice, and has used the signature Judge Dredd scowl in just about every film he's been in. And he doesn't mind having his face covered up, like V FOR VENDETTA. Hugo's the guy.
Dec. 22, 2008, 9:18 a.m. CST
Weaving for Dredd, that is...
by Mosquito March
Dec. 22, 2008, 9:32 a.m. CST
by ArcadianDS
anyone who has followed the comic book as opposed to glancing at a few panels, and deciding it makes them cool to say "I love 2000AD!!" is a moron.
 The storylines of the comic book are terrible. Its a sci-fi vampire/zombie mash-up set in a world-gone-fascist where the heroes are the jack-booted stormtroopers and the villains are every single person who isn't a 'judge'
Dec. 22, 2008, 9:37 a.m. CST
by ArcadianDS
The guy has a chin shaped like a shovel and lets face it, for all his awesome, he's not a baritone. He's more of an Irish Tenor.
 Judge Dredd with a narrow "Freeze Meister" chin and the voice of an Irish Tenor.
 Really - what a horrible suggestion. Slap yourself.

Only different the electric fence jolt is quick, the movie however will be 1.5-2 hours of suffering.

Edgar Wright to direct...
by 11dayempire
...and Ron Perlman as Dredd. That'd be a bucket of awesome right there. Base the first film on the Block Mania/Apocalypse War storyline (suitably updated with a Putinesque leader for the Sovs), and save Judge Death and the Dark Judges for the second film. Maybe have the Judge Child quest for film number three. Oh, and Judge Anderson... Uma Thurman's getting on a bit now. Maybe Kristen Bell?

Brian Bolland
by Autodidact
Brian Bolland is my favourite Dredd artist, probably my favourite comics artist overall. Yes Dredd is dumb and silly but that doesn't mean you have to make a movie that doesn't even get the dumb and silly parts right.

Not a whole lot of changes here this week, mostly at the top. There are some changes starting in the second half. The top 15 are exactly the same as last week, mainly due to the fact that no one had huge, or horrible, performances over the past week. Here you go:
1. Washington - Steven Strasburg, RHP, San Diego State - No change here. Strasburg had his worst start, but when it's a quality start with twice as many strikeouts as innings pitched, you're pretty good. Previously: #1.
2. Seattle - Dustin Ackley, 1B/CF, North Carolina - Another weekend, another couple of innings in center field. The more he plays out there, the more likely he is to become the top prospect behind Strasburg. Previously: #2.
3. San Diego - Alex White, RHP, North Carolina - He didn't have a great start, but neither did anyone else behind him. I'd have to think San Diego is still deciding between White and Grant Green, and Aaron Crow could enter that equation with a solid Indy League showing. Previously: #3.
4. Pittsburgh - Grant Green, SS, USC - Green committed a fielding error over the weekend, and also had a few struggles at the plate on Saturday, but overall had a decent weekend. Had he done what was expected of him against Washington State, he'd be in the third slot. Previously: #4.
5. Baltimore - Aaron Crow, RHP, Ft. Worth Cats - I'm really surprised that I haven't heard as much about Crow as I have about Tanner Scheppers this Spring. Hopefully that means Crow is going about his business and preparing himself for a quick Indy League debut, followed by a quick signing and extended affiliated pro ball debut. Previously: #5.
6. San Francisco - Tyler Matzek, LHP, Capistrano Valley HS (CA) - Matzek keeps going about his business as the most polished prep pitcher in the 2009 class. He'll be just fine as a top ten pick. Previously: #6.
7. Atlanta - Zack Wheeler, RHP, East Paulding HS (GA) - Just to give you some confirmation that he's being considered this high, BA reported Brian Sabean took in a Wheeler start personally last week. GMs usually only take in games of players they genuinely consider at their slot, and the Giants' slot is one higher than here at number seven. Previously: #7.
8. Cincinnati - Kyle Gibson, RHP, Missouri - Gibson had his worst start of the year, but apparently was battling through less than stellar fastball command. He's a pure command pitcher, so that's concerning, but the fact that he almost finished the seventh inning on a night where he had inconsistent stuff can be a bit encouraging. Previously: #8.
9. Detroit - Donovan Tate, OF, Cartersville HS (GA) - Tate will take an overslot bonus, and Atlanta will almost certainly not do that. Detroit's not afraid of overspending for a quality player, even a prep player. Good enough fit for me. Previously: #9.
10. Washington - Rich Poythress, 1B, Georgia - I thought I'd be changing this slot every week, but this is really just making too much sense. Maybe I'm just psyching myself into thinking it makes sense. However, Poythress is slowly earning this slot, so maybe that means the Nationals won't be able to afford him here. Previously: #10.
11. Colorado - Mike Leake, RHP, Arizona State - Leake threw a complete game, allowing only a run on five hits, and he struck out seven. What more would you want from a college pitcher with an established track record? Maybe 14 strikeouts like Strasburg. Previously: #11.
12. Kansas City - Shelby Miller, RHP, Brownwood HS (TX) - Miller touched 95 on the gun in his last start according to Jason Churchill at the ESPN draft blog, striking out 10 in 4 innings. However, there are more and more references showing up to teams maybe preferring Zack Wheeler over Miller. Odd. Previously: #12.
13. Oakland - Rex Brothers, LHP, Lipscomb - Brothers pretty much lost complete control on a bad weekend for college starters. He walked six in four innings, and he also allowed seven hits, totaling six earned runs allowed. Ouch. However, since no one named Mike Leake had a dominating start, he wasn't really hurt. Interesting draft class we have here. Previously: #13.
14. Texas - Matt Purke, LHP, Klein HS (TX) - Purke is someone I'm having trouble placing, but I know he'll be tabbed no later than this slot. His mechanics raise universal concern, but his talent is arguably higher than fellow prospect Tyler Matzek. Man, this draft is hard to predict. Previously: #14.
15. Cleveland - Tanner Scheppers, RHP, St. Paul Saints - Scheppers is close to making his 2009 debut in a game situation, meaning he'll start moving very quickly either up or down the board. I'm on the side that thinks he'll go up, and he might supplant Kyle Gibson at #8 with strong showings and more Gibson starts that include command problems. Previously: #15.
16. Arizona - Tyler Skaggs, LHP, Santa Monica HS (CA) - Skaggs is an interesting guy that could go anywhere in the second half of the first round. I expect the Diamondbacks to go for projectable pitching with one of their two picks here. Previously: #24.
17. Arizona - Andy Oliver, LHP, Oklahoma State - In a rough week for college starters, Oliver showed his natural talent that I think will keep him in the first round. He did so well that I moved him up. He might be a little too expensive for Arizona, who has a lot of picks to sign this year, but it's a good fit nonetheless. Previously: #20.
18. Florida - Mychal Givens, RHP, Plant HS (FL) - I had Jacob Turner at this slot last week, but Turner will need an above-slot bonus, something Florida will not handing out in all likelihood. Givens has the same amount of talent, but with less polish. Florida is patient with development, so this is a possible fit. Previously: #21.
19. St. Louis - Mike Minor, LHP, Vanderbilt - Minor allowed four runs on his Friday start, but also struck out 13 in 7 2/3 innings. Most scouts will look more at the missed bats than the runs, even with college stats, as fielding, umpiring, etc. can influence runs allowed. Minor is really doing his best to make sure he sticks in the first round. Previously: #17.
20. Toronto - James Paxton, LHP, Kentucky - Paxton struck out 11 Alabama hitters and walked just two on Friday night, an encouraging sign that his command is coming back. Paxton's also Canadian, meaning that while this isn't a strong factor for the Blue Jays to take him, it's just one more step towards getting a good fit and good value. Previously: #23.
21. Houston - Luke Bailey, C, LaGrange HS (GA) - While other players are making big cases to move forward, the high school catching crop's continually strong play has lulled some to sleep. That means they might fall a bit in favor of hotter arms. Bailey's still the best, and Houston won't shy away from back-to-back first round catchers. Previously: #16.
22. Minnesota - Max Stassi, C, Yuba City HS (CA) - Stassi's gotten this close to Bailey, and his untangibles will make him very tempting to teams like Minnesota that draft on both tools and makeup. I'm not suggesting Stassi will unseat Joe Mauer, but he's good enough that the Twins will seriously consider moving Mauer permanently to save his health. Previously: #19.
23. Chicago (AL) - Jared Mitchell, OF, LSU - Mitchell's heated back up, and I think he's moved himself back into the first round this week. Mitchell's a really good fit for the White Sox, who like college players with solid tools. I had him here in my first mock. Previously: #34.
24. Los Angeles (AL) - Jacob Turner, RHP, Westminster Christian Academy (MO) - Turner will need an above-slot bonus, and while the Angels have more picks than most, they also have plenty of money. I exspect the Angels to at least come close to breaking the record for a single year draft budget, and someone like Turner should be in their plans. Previously: #18.
25. Los Angeles (AL) - Matt Davidson, 3B, Yucaipa HS (CA) - I've read enough negatives about Davidson that I think he might even slide out of the first round. However, I think the Angels might pick him up based on promise, as his power potential is humongous. Nice value pick here. Previously: #22.
26. Milwaukee - Mike Trout, OF, Millville HS (NJ) - I'm having a lot of trouble reading anything negative about Trout, as both scouts and other writers seem to love this kid. He really helps himself by becoming buddies with scouts, and I think he won't last past the end of the first round. Previously: #25.
27. Seattle - Madison Younginer, RHP, Mauldin HS (SC) - While some writeups say Younginer will end up as a power bullpen arm, I think that's not an issue for teams drafting this far down. Even if Seattle has to move him to the bullpen, I think they'd be happy with a kid who could eventually hit triple digits. Previously: #27.
28. Boston - Tim Wheeler, OF, Sacramento State - This makes a lot of sense, but as with the Poythress pick above, I think I might be convincing myself that something makes more sense than it does. He's the best college center fielder regardless, and he'll go before the supplemental round. Previously: #28.
29. New York (AL) - Kyle Heckathorn, RHP, Kennesaw State - He has a big arm, and while the Yankees could easily go prep here, I think they like Heckathorn's long term potential combined with his polish. Nice pick here. Previously: #31.
30. Tampa Bay - Wil Myers, C, Wesleyan Christian Academy - I'm a little shocked by how much helium this kid has. The more I read on him, the more I think he belongs right up there with Bailey and Stassi as the best prep catchers. However, he can play almost any position, and Tampa Bay values that kind of athleticism. Previously: #50.
31. Chicago (NL) - Jiovanni Mier, SS, Bonita HS (CA) - His draft position is pretty consistent, but it just depends who wants him more. He's the best pure prep shortstop without much argument, and the Cubs would love to find that kind of talent this late in the first. Previously: #33.
32. Colorado - AJ Pollock, OF, Notre Dame - Pollock's floating around a lot, but his skillset is still pretty nice. The Rockies like their college guys, especially this late where they'll want someone to sign to slot. Previously: #41.
That's it for this week. What do you guys think? Not enough movement?
