Keeping Dredd in the public eye!

What can we do to keep Dredd high in the public eye before the film comes out!

Earlier today there was a thread that asked you to follow a link to The Film Informant - the motion picture advertising resource and vote on the poster (just go HERE and click on the 10th star to do that). This is the sort of thing we need to do, especially as it doesn't take your time up! Iv'e posted that link on a few facebook sites and am about to post it up on Twitter!

If anyone finds any sites that are promoting the film (however small) we need links on here so we can put some posts up (everyone else does this sort of thing, so why not us for a change). Then we can stop any bollocks about Stallone in it's tracks and also counteract any posts by a certain person.

Other things we can do is wear our Dredd/2000 AD tops more often, subliminal messaging!

Anyone else got any ideas or new sites to visit then post them up  :thumbsup:

Go on a killing spree in a town centre with a rifle while dressed as Dredd. Pretty sure that would make the papers.

If only there were someone with military training that also owned a Dredd costume...

iFanboy just put up a post about the film.  (Twitter link here, if you're of a mind to retweet such things.)

Diminished Responsibility

Some nude shots of Olivia Thirlby would help, or a sex tape.

On a serious note, yeah I voted, but it's the only thing of its kind that I've heard of. And I'm looking, believe me, I'm looking!

Have voted my 5*'s, and retweeted ifanboy link.

This type of campaign does work, it won Depeche Mode a Brit for best single (Enjoy the Silence) in 1991.
The DM fan club urged their fans to vote via Radio1, and being very loyal they did.

I want to know when the 1st poster is actually seen in the real world too. I've been thinking of Banksy styled stencil campaign, but the speed I work at, the film will probably be on terrestial tv before I get round to it. :)

I voted 10*'s on the site, not 5*. Fortunately that mistake only happened here, and to quote so many on various threads "damn no edit button!"

I've been posting on this site which has the same old ignorant comments pretty much since the film greenlit. And yet they are all still just as ignorant. http://my.spill.com/profiles/blogs/first-poster-for-dredd

Excellent thread CF. Can I suggest to all Social Site Users Facebook, Myspace, Twitter et al that when a Dredd related news item pops up they share it ?

May spread the Dredd a little further still :)

Yes Mr Burdis, you must do your duty and do something highly controversial and newsworthy in your garbs of office to get the movie dominating mainstream news media.

I mean yes, you'll probably be in prison when the movie comes out but think of the good you'll have done.  :lol:

I would quite happily walk round London on a Saturday and visit all the tourist attractions if someone would take loads of pictures  :D

Don't do it, Burdis. When confronted by someone dressed oddly and speaking in a way they don't understand, the Met shoot first and ask questions later.

Excellent idea for a thread. No mithering arseholes here, but any help in answering their queries and increasing the post count can only help the film's profile:
