Can't wait to see Dredd come to life on the small screen (he seems to have been everywhere else)
This is great news. I'd like to see quirky black humour about future tech etc as in the comic. So much potential- the comic strip is 40 years old now!
More generally, it's long overdue for 2000AD characters to be properly 'filmised'. Strontium Dog, ABC Warriors etc etc. They should frankly be a British Marvel (much smaller obviously!), but never succeeded yet.
