Entirely fact-free clickbait list more appropriate for Buzzfeed than the website of a national newspaper.

That's great, Goaty! Maybe Netflix could make a Dredd TV show for our Karl. After all, they're making four Marvel shows - why not Dredd too!

The author obviously also isn't aware that a TV series reboot of His Dark Materials is currently in production, at the BBC.

Maybe he thinks Whittingdale will kill the BBC before it gets to screen.

It's almost as if the article's author has absolutely no idea or industry insider info about what they're talking about.

So, yeah, pretty much your average Buzzfeed piece, then.

More positive stuff from Karl.

It's amazing what they did for a production budget under $30 million.

"It was ahead of its time, but not by much. The recent success of Deadpool has demonstrated a strong audience demand for R-rated graphic novel films."

I finally saw Deadpool last night. Curious how that did so well compared to Dredd. I suppose the Marvel banner does the job, and the somewhat cartoonish nature of the script. Interesting, though, that people appeared to be more horrified by the violence in Dredd than Deadpool (despite the latter being a psycho going around slicing people up he deems to be 'bad guys' vs the former, which is a cop doing his job in a hostile future).

Tone has a lot to do with it I think.
Also, Deadpool had a more bankable lead (no disrespect to the fantastic Mr Urban, just the way it is) and a phenomenally successful social media campaign pre-release.

Well Ryan got many flop films to his name.

Success is elusive. Ryan has indeed had a series of fairly mediocre to poor Movies as did Keanu Reeves before the Matrix. Though you could say that was the high point of Keanu's career none the less he's had a career which for an actor can be considered a triumph in itself. Look at the recent Ghostbuster's film which appears to be destined to be busted at the Box Office or Fantastic flop 4. Nobody sets out to make bad Movie but it happens and for the Actors concerned there might be little they can do since the Producers/Directors usually have the last say and edit. Film making, far as I can tell is such a fraught creative process that 'creative differences' and personality clashes are almost inevitable. How can you handle that pressure? Ah yes that's the $64 million dollar question. Does help if the people you've hired are partially sane of course but if their not going to meet you even part of the way than it's a matter of achieving what you can with whatever you've been handed.

Alright they weren't that bad but I remember Keanu saying he felt his Film career was cursed and I wrote too much into that. Johnny Mnemonic is pretty dire though.

I bet they talked about horse riding for the new Xena series.
