Judge Dredd producers say about Judge Dredd character: "He’s not going to take off his helmet..."
Well what the hell is the point of THAT?
Our boy is gonna star in a movie (granted, one that I probably will nearly hate due to the violence they want to make "more real")... and we can't see him?
Pffft.
Because in the comics you never ever see Dredd's face without the mask on. If he doesn't have it on you just see part of his face. The Stallone version took liberties with the character and they want to do a more true to the comics version.
