And please let them keep it satirical. They’ve got 40 years of source material, so that should be more than enough for a season or three. ---

Would be nice if it was Karl Urban as Dredd. He seems OK with doing TV SF. ---

Of course, I’m secretly holding out for a Strontium Dog series… ---

ABC Warriors or Nemesis the Warlock TV series would be awesome. ---

> [@Mavic\_Chen](#): > > ABC Warriors or Nemesis the Warlock TV series would be awesome. Rogue Trooper would be my first pick after Dredd. I wonder if the show will have a large enough budget to really capture the world of Mega-City One. I would honestly prefer no show over a cheap looking one. ---

I’d be down for a Slaine series… ---

_Rogue Trooper_ and _Slaine_ would make for good movies, one low-budget, one epic-budget. But the one I’d like to see as a TV series is _The Ballad of Halo Jones_. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Of course, I’m secretly holding out for a Strontium Dog series… Rejoice, Citizen! There’s a [Strontium Dog fan film](http://www.strontiumdogfanfilm.com/) in the works from the people who made Judge Minty: [footage looks pretty good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrpjPlL5MmY). Good news about the Dredd, although I’d still like to see one of the older strips like Mean Arena adapted: there was something about bizarrely themed, costumed teams of misfits engaged in brutal death-sports against a decaying suburban background that really resonated. ---

Ooh, I loved Judge Minty! The SD footage does look good, except for one thing - in live action, it looks naff when Johnny’s eyes glow _all the time_. I’d rethink that’ if I were them, only have them glow when he’s actively scanning something, maybe. ---

I’d rethink that’ if I were them, only have them glow when he’s actively scanning something, maybe. Yeah, I always saw them as being a blank white which only glowed when he was messing in your head. Nice work adapting the organic-looking Ezquerra tech to the screen, although they better have electronux in there somewhere.
