Judge Dredd is set to make the leap to television, but not the Dredd that fans have eagerly been hoping for.
IM Global, Tencent and Tang Media Partners, have partnered with UK games developer and publisher Rebellion to develop a live-action Judge Dredd TV series under the title Judge Dredd: Mega City One.
Judge Dredd celebrates his 40th anniversary this year, having been created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra in the pages of 2000 AD way back in 1977.
Dredd is an officer of the law in a dystopian future where he has the power of judge, jury, and executioner.
