Shankar has been working on this project in secret for almost two years. Per The Wrap:

Since Shankar?s unofficial ?Dredd? project was done off-the-grid, it?s technically a part of his popular Bootleg Universe, which includes the short ?Punisher: Dirty Laundry? starring Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman, as well as ?Venom: Truth in Journalism,? which starred Ryan Kwanten as Spider-Man villain Eddie Brock.

We?re getting a seven part miniseries from producer Adi Shankar that will be released next month for free. There?s no word on if Karl Urban or Olivia Thirlby will be participating (though Thomas Jane came back for Dirty Laundry so I suppose it?s a possibility) but I guess we?ll all find out soon enough.

If a movie isn't an option then this is better than nothing yes?

 

Sure but just saying what would've been better for me personally.  Besides this sounds kind of low budget and I don't know how it'll turn out.  I thought the movie did well enough to be able to get a sequel but maybe not.

We're talking about the new one, not with Stallone and Schneider. You should check out the new one, it's way better.

 

I disagree. Stallone's Dredd was far closer to the comics I remember than Kurban's.  The new one tried to be too "real" itself of setting itself in the comic universe where it belongs.

 

The only thing wrong about Stallone's version was taking the helmet off.

Exactly. For the era the Stallone movie was pretty decent, though obviously it doesn't hold up to modern standards.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
