Will people stop referring to Dredd 3D as a remake of the 1995 Judge Dredd?

ivoryfirefly:

For a start, the title’s different!  To save confusion.

For a second point, the synopses are different!  Here’s the one for the ‘95 Stallone train-wreck: In a dystopian future, Dredd, the most famous judge is convicted for a crime he did not commit while his murderous counterpart escapes.


Here’s the synopsis for Dredd 3D: In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.


See?  Totally different, except for the fact the main character is Judge Dredd!  So can people stop calling Dredd 3D a remake of Judge Dredd?  Dredd 3D is the movie fans wanted in the first place!  It’s not a remake, it’s more like a chance to put things right.  It’s a new story, so I suppose you could class it as a (very) late sequel with a different cast and a different look! 

SO STOP CALLING DREDD 3D A REMAKE OF THE ‘95 JUDGE DREDD MOVIE!!

This issues certainly seems to have got on some peoples’ nerves. Quite right too.
