22 December 2008 7:57 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Comic book movie Judge Dredd is to return for a sequel - 13 years after the futuristic anti-hero was portrayed by Sylvester Stallone.

The rights have been bought up by DNA films, the production company behind several of British director Danny Boyle's movies, including last year's Sunshine and 2002's 28 Days Later.

The news was announced on the official 2000Ad website, the comic book on which the film was based, according to Moviehole.net.

Jason Kingsley, CEO and creative director of the comic book franchise, says, "We can't give away too many details at this point, but we're looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen."

It is not yet known whether Stallone will reprise the title role. »

British Director Slams British Moviegoers

31 October 2008 2:32 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later) took a swipe at British filmgoers as his latest film, Slumdog Millionaire, closed the London Film Festival Thursday night and attracted glowing reviews. "My opinion about the film industry is we get the film industry we deserve really. ... We don't go to the cinema like other countries I'm afraid. You notice it in India the obsession with cinema is phenomenal. Everybody knows everything about it and everyone has seen everything. I think the figures are we go twice a year and that will be to the [Harry] Potter and the [James] Bond [movies] mostly." Meanwhile, the London Independent called Slumdog Millionaire "an exhilarating ride." The Times described it as a "festival finale that puts a spring in your step and brings a tear to the eye." Similarly the Telegraph predicted that it would "send audiences happily skipping out into the cold London night. ... A terrific festival climax." »
