Taika Waititi's Judge Dredd (is not really Taika Waititi's Judge Dredd)
By that I mean Taika Waititi has not leased the right to make a Judge Dredd movie
The film production company that has leased the right to make a Judge Dredd movie is Vertigo Entertainment
Vertigo Entertainment is basically a guy called Roy Lee
Lee isn't a cigar-chomping movie mogul, who argues with the director on set and tries to sleep with the leading lady
He's a sales guy who puts a pitch together (including talent) and tries to sell that pitch to movie studios he has a relationship with
Because of the way Hollywood works, Lee has his name on some big movies (Minecraft, most recently) but Lee basically sells low budget horror movies
Lee usually sells his low budget horror movies to Warner (now owned by Paramount), Universal, 20th Century (now owned by Disney) or Lionsgate
Maybe Lee's thinking of pitching a low-budget Judge Dredd vs Death horror movie to major studios but it's also possible he's thinking of branching out
Recent non-horror movies Lee and Vertigo have had their name on include The Long Walk, Boy Kills World and Don't Worry Darling
Low-budget, near-future, dystopian sci-fi movies that did okay or flopped
If Lee ever makes a Judge Dredd movie, it would not be a big budget blockbuster with a futuristic aesthetic
Like the most recent Judge Dredd movie, it would be one of the projects big studios pick up as an afterthought and release in a slow week
The two other producers mentioned by that Hollywood Reporter article, Platt and Viscuso, don't have any producer credits on movies
