Judge Minty (Judge Dredd fan film)

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I'm still waiting for my email telling me who I'm going to play

[Banners]

Very cool. When are the auditions?

[Steve Green]

Yeah, we had a good meeting with the actor who's down to play Minty.

The main thing is trying to keep a balance between keeping people interested, and not wanting to give a drip-drip of information which basically shows everything and kills any surprises.

Script is done, storyboarding is underway, we've got a location booked for some scenes in the Meg, (which is what the lawmaster is for), we've visited a couple of possibles for the Cursed Earth.

I'm building CGI set extensions for the Meg and the Cursed Earth.

We've also been getting costumes and props for the other characters.

We'd all love to show more, but don't want to show too much either - the more we give away the less new stuff you'll see in the final film.

Cheers

Steve

Auditions and stuff are not down to me, Steve S (El-Lopo) is away this weekend, we're looking at shooting some green screen crowd elements for scenes in the Meg, and a bunch of characters for the Cursed Earth scenes.

Since we don't know exactly where the Cursed Earth is going to be, personally I think we should get that firmed up before auditions, since it might have a bearing on people's availability depending on the location.

Just please assure us that this will be better than the best Star Wars fan film. The fact that you stated that you met with an "actor" is a great first indication that you are approaching this the right way; nowadays anyone can create fancy special effects, but the story and characters are what counts!

So make this one of the few fan films that are worth watching! BTW, has anyone seen the Solomon Kane fan film floating around youtube - that's the standard imo. Hopefully these fellows can knock it down.

That is hilarious! Goes on a tad too long, but still very funny.

Hopefully we will not have to reschedule, but if we do, we will understand if you can't re-commit.

I am also delighted to announce that main role of Judge Minty has been cast. Edmund Dehn has generously offered to help us out (real proper paid work committing). It will require us to work around his schedule, but it's worth it, as he's perfect for the part.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I best get my arse in gear and have a new photo taken in the morning and send it off then

[Colin YNWA]

Edmund Dehn looks fantastic! Errr even if we don't get cast will you be able to give the location at some point as being nerdy and based in Sheffield I'm thinking I mmight pop down to the shoot or would that just be really annoying?

[Steven Sterlacchini]

COMMANDO FORCES, I've already got a suitable picture of you. If you can make the date, just send an email to the address to apply (for my files).

Colin, if you don't get cast as an actor, we may still need help with crew, if you're up for it?

[Colin YNWA]

Colin, if you don't get cast as an actor, we may still need help with crew, if you're up for it?

Yeah I'd be up for getting involved. Will be e-mailing a photo and will leave contact details just get in touch when you need a lackey!
