Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:Zero.
For that kind of money, theyll want eyes.
The ED-209 voice is there if needed and hes got the stature and gravity for the role.
Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:50/50.
Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:100%.
If Clooney did it, hed go for it.
But hes influential and affluent enough to be little-tempted by a pay check from a big action movie.
Hed need a first-class script that suited his skills.
7: Brendan FraserAgain, the chin is there.
6: Sean PennThe chin is definitely there, and afterMilk, theres nothing this man cant take on.
But would he be willing to return to an action persona he has worked so hard to abandon?
Age is no issue, anyway Penn is 48 and Dredd is somewhere between 40-60.
Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:Surprisingly good, in my opinion.
4: Jason StathamIm obliged under great sufferance to include this.
Dredd may have been invented by a Brit, but hes pure American.
HoweverifStatham is willing to spend 3-4 months breaking through that barrier in pre-production…okay.
Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:Absolutely none.
That helmet will be off so fast that Statham will have burn-marks on his bald noggin.
And itll stay off.
Chances theyd let him keep the helmet on:Pretty good.
Hed get Dredd quickly, and can buff up at a moments notice to boot.
1: Ron PerlmanThe most obvious piece of casting since Stephen Fry played Oscar Wilde.
He has the chin, the height, the voice, the comic timing…heisDredd.
Wed like to thank everyone else for turning up, have a safe journey home.
Why should he care?
