Stallone regrets Judge Dredd

Heh. I’m sure he’s not the only one. Via Digital Spy:

Speaking at a press conference to promote Rambo, the actor said: “I think the biggest mistake I ever made was with the sloppy handling of Judge Dredd.

“I thought that could have been a fantastic, nihilistic, interesting vision of the future – judge, jury and executioner. That [film] really bothered me a great deal.”

Edgar Wright: Ant Man or Scott Pilgrim?

Empire Online asks screenwriter/director Edgar Wright what he’s going to be working on next:

While chatting to Wright, we also asked about what he might be doing next. The obvious choice would be Ant Man, the adaptation of Marvel’s comic book about a shrinking superhero who can communicate with insects. He’s been attached to the comedy for some time.

“It could be that. I finished the script and I’m having a meeting about it next week,” he said. “But it depends which comes first in the queue basically. I’ve been working on two at once, and I’m also about to start developing two more scripts, one of which is with Simon [Pegg]. It could be Scott Pilgrim (another comic book adaptation who must slay a girl’s evil exes in order to date her) is next or it could be Ant Man, we shall see.”

    Joe Cornish, writer of the Ant-Man movie (and Shaun of the Dead documentarian, iirc), has a BBC Radio show on Sunday mornings. As always, the show is produced in collaboration with long-time comedy partner Adam Buxton.

    It’s very funny, is the point. Go here next Sunday. Or here, next Monday.

    Or right here right now for some old stuff. God!

    I don’t know much about the Ant Man character, aside from Hank Pym’s role in Civil War and Mighty Avengers, but this just sounds like a really, I mean really, potentially horrible movie. Interesting that it’s described in the article as a “comedy.”

    Then again, I’m not sure a mainstream audience could take such a character seriously. I’m not sure this comic book reader could take it seriously!
