Dredd (2012)

[Woolly]

Trying to work out if the judge in the BG is carrying some sort of shotgun...?

There are notable differences (the visor comes down a lot further for one), but for some reason the movie helmets really remind me of this Kev Walker image:

Yeah, they definately seem to be Walker influenced designs around the visor. I'd go as far as saying based on his work on Sin City*

As for the very welcome, yet a bit strange gif - absolute arsomness! As Goaty said, this instantly seperates it from the '95 effort.


*the Dredd one, obviously!

FOOTAGE!

Background looks good, not much to see but doesn't stand out as being in any way less than fitting in with the overall tone we've seen so far.

See, the chunky helmet/uniform design works.

Now that's a thing of dark beauty!

The only trouble is I want more!!!!

And who said the helmets didn't look right? Duh!

Too early to tell from that IMHO - although it looks promising.

a) it's not Urban wearing the helmet - from the empire stills it looked like Lex(?) seemed to fill the helmet better.

b) It's a blurry dark animated gif, you can't see much more than a tiny bit of head and shoulders...

More interested in what's going on behind the scenes with this - whether it's being deliberately leaked by someone over the violence thing...

Considering 1 still and 1 bit of footage have both included headshots, it seems a bit like someone's trying to prove a point.

Interesting theory, that hadn't occurred to me. Maybe trying to gauge reaction?

This occurred to me too, its all very convenient. But if whoever the leak is really wanted to do something about the reaction about the helmet, they should have found a clip with Dredd in it.

[CYCLOPZ]

I do think the helmets work though. Just as much as a London copper's hat works if that's any comparison.

I thought that about those pics released earlier this week, but also valid about this (AWESOME) bit of footage; dark, gritty, noirish, and unapologetically grim and violent... looks seriously fantastic and hardcore!  And judging by the general response from fellow posters here, both DNA Films and IM Global should be encouraged, I wonder if this bit of footage is a heads-up for an imminent teaser trailer...!?

[Beaky Smoochies]

Had a horrible thought - what is the bet that some wanker re-releases a certain movie from 1995 to cash on the publicity from Dredd?
<shudder>

Not if they finally release Danny Cannon's 'director's cut' version, for it does surely exist somewhere in the Buena Vista vaults, and would certainly shift a few copies on pure morbid interest alone... sadly unlikely though!

[Radbacker]

Fraken Arsom, I like the small glimpse we have of MC1 in the background. Grey, opressive, monolithic public housing looking buildings all in keeping with the more realistic grittier approach they seem to have taken.  Cant wait to see more, teaser cant be too far away surely?

More please.

what violence thing? is this referencing back to the 'my mate down the pub spoke to a magical dog who can travel through time that said that he's next door neighbours dog spoke to his owner whose mate read on a message board that someone wasn't happy with the violence thing'..actually thats not a bad idea for the 2000ad kids comic thread.. Time Traveling Toto and the Future Forum

anyway the source for the animated 'clip' i kinda thought it would have come from the 'making of' documentary.. as they are sometimes produced by outside companies and the security would not be as stringent

[Gonk]

That's a reasonable assumption, but you're still just surmising like Toto down the pub and just adding to the rumours circulating. I think it's been leaked deliberately by someone involved with the film.

He blew his f##kin 'ed off man! BOOM!!! Just like that. No warnin. Nothin. Just BAM!!
