Jason Kingsley,CEO of Rebellion told Comics2Filmthis week that Judge Dredd enjoyed brisk pre-sales at the recentAmerican Film Market in California. Given that, the development effort isstarting to take shape.
"India andCanada seem to be firming up as places we'll do most of the production,"Kingsley told us. "India for the Cursed Earth sequences, and Canada forMegacity One."
The film stillhas no casting attachments. However, Kingsley tells us that the film isattracting some significant names. C2F will have more as that develops.
Kingsley alsotells us that New Line has renewed their option on another 2000 AD property, Outlaw.

Expect to hearmore announcements from Rebellion soon. "As a result of the publicity 2000AD has been getting for its 25th Anniversary, which is all this year, we've gota ton of production companies, big and small, looking to option many of thetitles," Kingsley said.
