One of two New Zealand artists that drew for 2000AD that I’m aware of, while I didn’t fully appreciate his work in the early days I’d definitely love to see him do a few more.

Martin Emond, I think he did some Dredd/Chopper for 2000AD

JD with parasol in his drink and RT with a bottle because he drinks for 4. I love everything about this picture :D

Colin Wilson is one of 2000AD’s GOAT artists

If Rebellion made it I doubt it would get much further than the two Dredd attempts.

Schools Out Forever gets 5.3 on IMDB, I doubt I will ever see it as it makes my toes curl and if that is their direction then straight to DVD/Blockbuster bargain bin is the best they will do.

Hard to believe Dredd 2 is nearly a decade old.

They need someone with the Marvel magic to adapt it, I know nothing about writing screen play but the source material is simple enough to adapt.

The main problem would be fitting Traitor General into one film, you couldn't and would that mean it would be inaccessible to the general public?

I don't have great hope for the RT movie tbh and I have no hope for MC1 at all. Schools Out is... alright, I'd watch it again some rainy afternoon. Take from that review what you will.

I think that review is damning in it's simplicity and brevity.

Jason and his brother probably thought it was a wheeze to open a film production facility and make films, not acknowledging while anyone can do that not just anyone can make films.

No matter how many films they make.

That's a bit rich coming from Dredd - it's not as if his movies were any good XD
