The Art of Judge Dredd The Movie [A Selection]

Related to the Judge Dredd post on The 7th and Last.

The 1995 Judge Dredd movie may have had some of the worst casting of any Hollywood junk that year, but not everything about the venture was terrible. Some of the production art was pretty darn good. I know because a book from the same era gave an insight into what might have been.

INFO: ISBN 0-7522-0666-4, Page Count: 157, Published by Boxtree Limited. 1995.

Below the cut you'll find a small selection of what I feel are among the more interesting images from the book – that excludes much of the 'tech manual' stuff for weapons and vehicles, etc, so if that's your jam, apologies in advance.

If you look through the contents page of both this blog and my main one, The 7th and Last, you'll notice that I really like Frank Herbert's DUNE. Over the years I've read all six of the original novels multiple times.

Beyond the printed page, I've watched the David Lynch film so much that I could probably replay the entire movie in my head with a fair level of accuracy. And I've even watched the TV Miniseries about half a dozen times. Then there's the many video games, soundtracks, and previous comic book adaptations, all of which vary greatly in their relatedness and believability.

What I've not watched is the film version made by Legendary Pictures in 2021, for various reasons, none of which will add much to this review. The reason I mention it at all is because the comic book in question is an adaptation of it, not of Frank Herbert's original novel.

The film's fans claim it's very faithful to the source, so I figured I'd be in familiar territory, at least. Nevertheless, it means I'm writing about an adaptation of a film that I've not seen, which is a rarity for me. But I'll give it a try.
