Oh dude, no way! They'd never get that past the ratings board!  :o

I don't think it's much worse than using slomo on victims and skinning them alive.

Depends how much you needed to show.

M.I.K.

Death in this version of Dredd would be like introducing Bat-Mite into Nolan's Batverse.

This does nothing to dissuade me.

Quite the opposite.

QuoteI'd personally like to see the sequel deal with Democracy Now / Total War.
A real Political Action Thriller.


this. i may have little faith in the viewing populace but you cant have a 'realistic' action future flick and then throw monsters in it. people wont buy it!

Worth pointing out that the first film already showed or implied the existence of supernatural/fantastical elements such and psychic powers and mutants, so it wouldn't be as much of a jump to get to the Dark Judges. As I said, it would just depend on how they handled it.

good point well made radiator.

possible sequel idea: a claims direct legal case from the relatives of ma ma for her non conventional type of death? :lol:

Hear hear!
Does anyone think we would have got anything as good as Dredd if Alex Garland had looked at this website and done what we said we wanted? I doubt it. He did his own thing and I'm glad.

This facet is often too easily disregarded. Just like the comic, DREDD has elements of realism and fantasy and while there is a visceral pared-down feeling to it all, it's not operating in, or presenting, 'reality'.  What's real about the film is characters act and react like real people in extraordinary situations but that doesn't make it Ken Loach.

Well, let me clarify my point about Death. If we're talking multiple sequels then yes, by all means let's have them further down the road when we've fleshed out this world a little and given it some context for them to appear. For me, it just feels like it would be too much of a jolt in style to jump from what we've seen so far.

I'm always about the long-march.

To expand further on the notion of Death & Co. appearing in any DREDD film, as a concept they more or less occupy the extreme-margins of the values that define the world-philosophy in JUDGE DREDD so any films that would follow that thematic would find it difficult to top. Best to leave them till the very end.


COMMANDO FORCES

I want more violence, more excellent weapon handling and tactical skills, more Judges involved (some more with names we have heard of), more weaponry from Justice Department and lots of everyday crime at the start to take us into the main story proper!

What I don't want is any uniform alterations, apart from more gear on the belt rig, overly complex political machinations, no bent Judges at any level and no red shirt Judges!

Ha! I would have thought CF would want:

"a sequence when we see a line of parked cars destroyed with colourful explosions and all flip in the air"   ;)

For me all I really want for the sequel is DEATH.  I have waited too long for the whole 'leave it for a few more films' approach - I want it NOW.  And I think it could work - as another poster suggested, just drop him in and don't bother explaining his background.  I probably wouldn't include him jumping from body to body but I think it could work very well having a character that Dredd 'puts down' several times in the movie but he keeps getting back up! 

Every hero needs a nemesis so no more pussyfooting around, lets get him in there.
