Unfortunately, studios (in general, but Hollywood ones in particular) sometimes seem to have trouble understanding what makes a particular franchise interesting. Even if the people behind the movie do (the director, producer, writer, editor, actors etc), the studio execs sometimes don't, but will still interfere.
Sounds like this might have happened with Judge Dredd. They look at it, and think they can use a generic Sci Fi story, and just bung the name on and it will sell.
Hopefully, this won't happen with Dan Dare.
