When he made his debut "Judge Dred" in 1995, he went through more changes before he became wrong. Several writers were attached to the project throughout the development, one of which was British writer Peter Briggs ("Helboy"), who spoke with Bloody disgusting In 2020 for his vision for the film.

Initially, Levin and Gordon were ready to co -finance the film along with colleague producer Edward R. Press. Unfortunately, things quickly turned into a sour between Gordon and Press. As a result, Briggs found himself caught in the middle, with a press release wanting the writer to work on a version of "Judge Dred", which would be directed by Tony Scott and was supposed to play Arnold Schwarzger.

Briggs followed Pressman and found himself in a position to bring one of his favorite children's heroes to the big screen. In conceiving his version of "Judge Dred", the writer explained: "If you have a chance to make a movie, you go with the strongest villain. So I wanted to do, from the beginning, to judge death. Because, well, he is wonderful." The judge's death was a dark judge who was bad versions of judges in a parallel dimension called Deadworld. "They are the antithesis of what the judicial system advocates," Briggs said, "being a parallel universe in which all life is forbidden. Life is the ultimate crime, and death is the answer. From the outset, there was no other story."

Briggs' idea for "Judge Ded" will see the titular anti -hero returning to Mega City one after a few months. There, he teamed up with Sidgekik, Judge Barbara Fershi and begins to patrol the streets again. After dealing with a variety of mega City, a rifle, the partners eventually face judge death, which appears in the city because he has a mysterious relationship with Dedar. This was not the only villain in the unchanged movie. Briggs also created a new character called the Candy's Killer, a serial killer who attracted victims with a high-dependent substance called Umoti Candy.

The rest of the story played a lot like the "2000 ads" comics in which referee death was first introduced, with the villain calling for more dark judges before killing the citizens of Mega City one mass and destroying the metropolis. As Briggs recalled, "While comic book while science fiction, it was also (it was supposed to be a horror movie). If you read the comic book, that was it. Death puts hands in humans and so on. We would have been firmly investing in the territory of" horror ".
