Wagner on Dredd Movie : “This has my Recommendation…”

John Wagner, co-creator of Judge Dredd:

“I went up to London yesterday to see the completed Dredd film. I’ve had reservations about certain aspects of it, and made them plain to the team at DNA. All but one of them – a little quibble at the beginning – have been addressed. And what a lot they’ve added. Music is on the button. SFX are excellent. Filming is impressive. I’ve not seen a modern 3-D movie before but I like it. I found myself reaching out trying to touch things that were dancing before my eyes. Karl is a great Dredd and Olivia gets Anderson completely. This is Dredd as it should be done – true to character, visceral, unrelentingly violent (but not off-puttingly so). It will open, I believe, sometime in September. No doubt you’ll let me know what you think when you’ve seen it, but this has my recommendation.”

(Thanks to the IAOSB for the quote…!)

Dwayne ‘Lobo’ Johnson?

From Bleeding Cool :

“Bleeding Cool was told recently that The Rock is going to play Lobo in Brad Peyton´s upcoming film of the DC comics…”

I honestly don’t know how to feel about this (aside from the whole Peyton directing the movie in the first place…) Am I happy? Am I hungry? Who’s hungry?

It would make sense, though, given that Peyton directed The Rock in that damnable kid’s movie…

(Send me a photoshop of The Rock as Lobo – if it’s any good i’ll post it here…)
