Short Paper for 11/11

This week we will be talking about adapting comics to film. For this paper I want you to find a

YouTube clip of a Judge Dredd film. Along with the two we are looking at this week, there are a

few shorter fan films out there. This does need to be an adaptation of the comic (any story is

fine) and not a video about Judge Dredd. In a 5 paragraph essay offer your ideas about how the

film adapts some aspect of the Judge Dredd Universe as you know it. This could be how the clip

handles the Judge system, the character of Judge Dredd, any of the contested terms we have

discussed such as justice, freedom, betrayal, family, etc. Be sure to properly cite your clip both in

the text, and have a bibliographical entry

Warning: as with the mainstream films, these shorts can be disturbing for their level of violence,

nudity, and language. Fan films do not have to deal with the rating system that feature films do.

If that is a concern I suggest finding a clip from the 1995 film as it has only a marginal level of

violence.
