New JUDGE DREDD Movie Being Developed by Taika Waititi and Drew Pearce — GeekTyrant

Mega-City One is getting a fresh dose of law and chaos. According to Deadline, Taika Waititi is set to direct a brand-new Judge Dredd movie, with Drew Pearce writing the script. The project has just hit the market, and while no deals are locked in yet, the creative talent attached makes this a major play for studios. The film is being produced by Chris Kingsley, Jason Kingsley, and Ben Smith of Rebellion Developments, along with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, Jeremy Platt, Natalie Viscuso, and Pearce himself. Judge Dredd was created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, first appearing in the British comic 2000 AD. The story follows law enforcement officers in the sprawling dystopia of Mega-City One, where Judges act as judge, jury, and executioner. Over the years, Hollywood has tackled the character twice, first in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone, and again in 2012 with Karl Urban's grittier take, which went on to earn cult status despite underperforming theatrically. While details on this new version remain under wraps, insiders hint it will carry some of the lighter, offbeat tone that Waititi is known for. That suggests a fresh spin on the grim, violent world of the Judges, possibly blending satire and humor with the franchise's trademark brutality. With Waititi behind the camera and Pearce ( Iron Man 3, Hotel Artemis ) crafting the story, this could be a very different kind of Judge Dredd film, one that plays into the comic's roots as both ultra-violent and darkly funny. I just thought that Alex Garland's Dredd was awesome, and I would've loved to see that franchise continue with Karl Urban. While attempts were made, I never happened, so… now we're getting another reboot. Would you want to see a Judge Dredd in the style of Waititi?

The couple has kept details about their child, including the name, gender, and date of birth, under wraps. They have also not made any official announcement regarding the birth. Back on Father's Day 2024, the 42-year-old actor shared a post where he confirmed the news of Natalie's pregnancy. He posted a selfie from his baby's room featuring a crib. Henry said, 'Oh yeah…..and Happy Father's Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon!" He added, 'And don't worry, pillows won't be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scapels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures. #FathersDay."

Henry shared a picture on Instagram, playing chess with his girlfriend and wrote in the caption, 'This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess." Speaking of Henry's work front, the actor was last seen on screen in a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
