If the budget is under $50 million, it will be a guaranteed garbage. You cannot make a good sci-fi, high quality visual effects movie with that amount of money these days. If they really want to rock our socks they need to do better than that. This ain't the 1990s.

WTF? I am a HUGE fan of the original comic, I have all of the original Eagle comics from the 80s of Judge Dredd and pretty much every spin off (recently thought to myself they may be worth something, worth ****), and it was a dark, moody comic. Almost Sin City esque meets British humor in a weird way. I loved it, as it was especially at the time not much like anything else, and he was just a badass.

If they followed the tone of the comic, did some of the better storylines from it as there was quite a few, do not see how they could mess this movie up, yet somehow it looks like they are. Visual style is nothing like the original comic. What Lampo posted is how it needs to start being done.

Think this is another flop honestly. Unless the budget is astronomical, I think an all CGI film would serve the source material 1000 times better. A dude walking around in this costume in reality in 2012, just looks a bit cheesy IMO. Hope I am wrong, would love for it to be great.

1995 movie was fantastic. Judges, mega cities, guns, cursed earth cannibals, blood, broken bones, a relic war robot that could kick Titan the Robot's ass, Armand as a complete psychotic. Only bit that sucked ass was Rob Schneider.

Aslong as it isn't the same story as the Stallone one then I couldn't give a hoot they wrote a **** ton of dredd comics so there's plenty of stuff to choose from but if it's just a rehash then forget it I'll most likely just download it instead of paying to see it if it's just a rehash

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
