Screenwriter Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Hobbs & Shaw) revealed that he is writing a new Judge Dredd film. During a Q&A, he stated that acclaimed director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) is "circling" the project, meaning he is showing interest in directing it.

However, Pearce was quick to emphasize that Waititi's involvement is not confirmed. He clarified that Waititi is just one of the potential directors on the list for the film.

The article highlights the intrigue of this potential pairing, contrasting Waititi's signature style of vibrant humor and heart with the traditionally grim, gritty, and satirical world of Judge Dredd. It also recaps the history of Dredd on film, mentioning the poorly-received 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie and the 2012 cult classic Dredd starring Karl Urban, which was praised by fans but failed at the box office.

In short, a new Judge Dredd film is being written, and while Taika Waititi is a potential director, the news is highly speculative and far from a done deal.
