"St. Benedict was black raised in Italy"
What black St. Benedict are you talking about? The one you imagined in your dreams and told the producers of this show about?
The script for Dredd was leaked, it was ripped by the makers of The Raid, but they were able to film and release their film much quicker than it took to produce Dredd. So when Dredd came out it received a lot of backlash and media hit pieces for ripping off a "small Asian indie film" when the opposite is what actually happened. Gareth Evans is from the UK and for sure has heard of 2000AD and Judge Dredd.
The ratings are also sabotaged by The Raid fanboys who are rabid about this until the facts are pointed out to them, then they always change their tone to, "who cares who ripped off who the raid is better!"
The Raid 2 is the movie they were trying to shop to financiers before stealing from the leaked Dredd script.
So if that didn't happen we probably would have gotten multiple sequels like John Wick got, John Wick was actually marketed as an action film like Dredd. Very unjust world where John Wick gets multiple sequels and Dredd can't even get 1.
