Few of you reading this will be unaware of
Judge Minty- the fan film based on the classic episode of Judge Dredd by John
Wagner and Mike McMahon; after all there has been an ad for it at the side of
the blog for a long time.
I saw the film recently and consider it to
be one of the finest pieces of ‘Fan’ fiction around. The story uses the strip
from prog 148 as a starting point and builds from there into a very
accomplished short film. The cast are superb throughout, as are the production
values. The whole film looks and feels ‘right’ in a way that adds to the
project as a whole. I cannot recommend this film enough.
I am tempted to start getting stuck in to
why I liked the film, but I’m very aware that one of the best things the film
has going for it is surprise. I did not know what the overall story was for the
film, and so the reveal of the extended plot was a total joy, and one that I
will be revisiting often.
If you are reading this and you are going
to be attending a convention in the UK over the next year, pray that Judge
Minty makes an appearance.

Do we get a prize if we point out "prog 147", or do we get a punch in the gob?
Really looking forward to this, though I've had some of it spoiled for me already and should really stop reading about it.
Oops, my bad. Did do that from memory though.
You are spot on with the fact that the look & feel of this film are spot on.
