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.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
