According to The Hollywood Reporter, Taika Waititi ( What We Do in the Shadows, Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) is preparing to take on another cherished comic book IP as he teams up with screenwriter Drew Pearce ( Iron Man 3, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) to bring another adaptation of Judge Dredd to the big screen.

The character made his big-screen debut in 1995’s big-budget flop “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester Stallone. Judge Dredd appeared again in 2012’s Karl Urban-led reboot, “Dredd,” which also misfired at the box office despite decent reviews. He has also appeared in multiple video game adaptations.

Thor: Love and Thunder filmmaker Taika Waititi is going to give Judge Dredd another shot, and the director will be making a third cinematic effort to get the character right.
