1995 ‘Judge Dredd’ Recut to Feel More Like the 2012 Version

Published

on

While I can fully admit that 2012’s Dredd is a superior movie in pretty much every single way to 1995’s Judge Dredd, I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for that film. Yes, it’s terrible. Yes, it’s laughable. Yes, it’s a goddamn mess that made fans of the comic grown from the opening screen to the end of the credits (and probably more after that). But don’t you dare tell me it isn’t fun because you know it and I sure as hell love it for that. It’s one of those movies where I shut off my brain, sit back for 90-ish minutes, and just bask in some of the most ridiculous overacting I’ve ever seen. All that being said, Dredd is clearly a better film. Karl Urban nailed the titular character, the overall look was perfect, the action was visceral and intense, and it simply felt like a true representation of Rebellion’s comic.

But what would happen if you took the audio and intensity of the 2012 film’s trailer and applied it to footage from the 1995 version? Well, it turns out that you’ll get a version of Judge Dredd that looks surprisingly close to the newer film! As ridiculous and impossible as that sounds, I promise you that it’s 100% true. I’m kinda blown away by the work done here as it proves that a little bit of clever editing can completely deceive people when it comes to the final product. If this were the trailer for Judge Dredd back in the day, can you imagine how much more pissed people would’ve been when they saw it? Yikes!

Cheers to ScreenGeek for the great video!

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
