Judge Dredd will be returning to the big screen very soon. After two years of negotiating, DNA Films acquired the rights to the film, which will be financed to the tune of $45 million by Reliance Big Pictures.

Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich (The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine) will produce the film, while Pete Travis will direct the script written by Alex Garland. Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner will be a creative consultant, while owners of the comic brand Rebellion/2000AD Jason Kingsley and Chris Kingsley will co-produce along with Michael S. Murphey (District 9).
