Yes, another film thread... ;)
who's seen "hellboy" and its sequel "hellboy 2 :the golden army"? now whos read the comic...?
good... now in the film hellboy wears a t-shirt doesnt have cloven hooves is in love with liz sherman and kroenen is a zombie ninja... still, its a cracking film and i love the films,animation and comics with equal measure.
yes they could have gone for a "canon" take on the character but they didnt and with mignola's blessings too....
Dredd is the movie "version "of judge dredd ,not the comic we've read the reasoning behind the "changes" to the uniform and most of us can accept and indeed welcome them ,look at the uniform fer instance, in x-men if wolverine had flounced on screen in yellow and blue rubber would he have been as cool onscreen? i doubt it he'd have been laughed at and it would have made the film less well recieved.
the creator of one judge joseph dredd has approved and praised the film world's take on his character ...we are getting a dredd film especially after the stallone one, we should be grateful and not whining about how practical his shoulder pads are or his shoulder width or even his chin...
so please nay sayers and doombots try and accept this for what it is good news... we've got "minty" coming as well which is more comiccentric so we should all be satisfied...
Hear hear! How he acts and what he says are a gazillion times more important in capturing the character than the shape of his shoulder pads.

There's a line in the first Xmen when Logan is doubtful about the uniforms and Cyclops (I think) says "what would you prefer - yellow spandex?" Cracked me up at the time.
What he said!
And the other chap as well!! :)
Bravo! You put it better than I ever could Mogzilla.
whit everybody said me tae :D :lol:
Good thoughts mogzilla which I endorse but the big mouths depriving their village of it's idiot aren't going to listen. They think they own Judge Dredd and ought to be running it and are surprised when their ludicrous "Judge Dredd and the bonking bondage babes" (or whatever drivel is in their heads) isn't getting made.
They're wrong. Twoothy is owned by Rebellion and if they want JD in a pink tutu then that's what will happen.
You don't like it? Fuck you.
You think your ideas better. Fuck you.
Capitalism evil but simple you don't like something -don't buy it.
Now whatever boarder (bless their golden fingers) suggested putting these oafs on ignore and a scorched earth policy to their ravings was absolutely bloody right.
It deprives them of what they want most. Power and attention.
Now if they don't like what I'm writing well that's just great as far as I'm concerned.
Ya don't like it?
You know the rest.
Personally i wasnt sure about the new film when i first heard that karl urban was going to be dredd, even less so when i saw those first (frankly not very good) photos that were released. Dredd's an iconic figure, and 30+ years of reading 2000ad has ingrained that image for me, so anything deviating from that will take some getting used to, and the Stallone film has made us all protective/wary? i know it has me. But those new photos in Empire, i think are the bollocks and im geniunely excited about Dredd now. Thats not to say, or guarentee that the film will be wonderful - who can say that at this still early stage?
Yes, the uniform has been altered/redesigned/call it what you will, so what? I dont mean that flippantly, as of course its important how they make him look for this movie, but i agree with the others on here that they have created a look that echo's the original design of Dredd pretty damn well. Non-Dredd friends of mine ( i have a few!) also caught the Empire feature and were pretty impressed.
This thread(s) will run and run though, just wait til they release photos of the re-design's of Dredd's underpants or his toothbrush, then there will be an uproar, :lol:
My only problem is that the more modern and practical movie costume is making me see the flaws in the comic one.

Okay, that's probably not fair as his singing voice wasn't bad, and the girls loved Bros but... well... not my thing.
Regardless the characters he played in both films were great. Bad guys, but... not altogether so.

I thought he was the drummer, the other twin the singer.
He made one scary elf in Hellboy II, the way elves are in myth. And I was really impressed with his martial arts form, unless that was mostly the stunt guy. But yes, good actor.
Another sequel he was in - Death Race 2. With Sean Bean. Love Beany.
Olivia Thirty is in this sci fi movie.

Judging by the DVD extras, that was mostly him. To me, it looks very much like a guy finally handed a leading role after years of hard work and grabbing it with both hands.
Yeah, I was really surprised by Goss in Blade 2. However, I think there's the same element of UK pop culture incongruity which makes us so much more impressed by Ian McShane as Al Swearengen than maybe others would be.
Ian McShane was a pretty hardcore actor in the early 70's too, though. Some obscure film with Oliver Reed provides that proof. We just got caught up in the awful Lovejoy pants. All his works combined he proves to be a particularly dexterous actor.
And Lovejoy proved to be very popular with the previous generation to us. Sparking a bit of roughly, smoothly romance with the laydees.
I'm not saying ex pop stars can never act but I'm not a fan of them being cast in certain movies and tv shows.
I never liked Billie Piper in Dr Who and Mark Whalberg in films like Planet of the Apes for a start. When I see Piper I just think > that's that teeny bopper who sang that annoying pop song (and I'm not impressed by her acting either).
Same with Whalberg, I just think 'Marky Mark" from New Kids on the flippin Block when I see him.

I haven't seen that so can't comment but I'm not saying he can't act. It's more the association with being an ex pop star.

I remember being very impressed with Marky Mark in the alright-but-not-that-great-really Corruptor. I also love I <3 Huckabees, but I'm aware that could be considered indulgent wank.
I heard Mark Wahlberg will play Judge Death in the Dredd sequel. His take on the character will be an outrageously effeminate evil gay super-fiend from another dimension and will sport a variety of outrageous costumes throughout the movie, including a gold spandex leotard and a rhinestone-encrusted leopard skin mankini.
But that's okay because we have to remember it's the movie version, not the comic.
That actually begs an interesting question- if Dredd is a success and a sequel gets the greenlight, and if Alex Garland and co. decide to feature Judge Death in it, who would (or, indeed, could) play the ghoulish super-fiend? My best guesstimate would be a completely CG creation using an actor on-set with motion-capture to get the fluidity of movement, with Bruce Spence perfect as the actor to portray both the movement and the voice of Death- just check him out in the 'Mouth of Sauron' scene from The Return of the King, and tell me that's not Judge Death there, it's uncanny...

I hope not. Even though I love LOTR and what they did with Gollum was amazing, the more I see CGI characters in films these days, the less I like it. There is the touch of unreality to it, an airbrushedness, and it just makes me twinge with discontent. Like with Tron Legacy, Tron and Clu.
But, taking your example of the Mouth of Sauron - if they just tweak the features on a real person, that could work. The Mouth was outstandingly freaky.
On the other hand, it could be interesting to see it done with just a normal-looking person, making the actor do all the work of providing the menace and, basically, just to see how they could adapt the character to fit reality-Dredd. Most of the fun for me in Nolan's Batman is seeing how he's re-imagined everything, but I do understand that it can be horrifying for other fans.
It's like how that new replica costume is sending a lot of fans into a swoon, whereas I'm waiting to swoon for the UrbanDredd costume replicas - I can definitely see myself swanning around feeling cool in urbandredd gear.
Different strokes, as always.
Close enough!

Elvis for Death. Stiff acting and the fact he has been dead for years fits the bill perfectly.

I'm all for a human actor for Judge Death*. By all means use CGI if his spiritual form is depicted but in the end, he inhabits a physical body. I know it's disproportionate when you consider the length of his arms, but I would see that as comic artistic licence. Besides, you can still add such effects to a human actor, although I'd suggest the long arms to be an 'arm stretching' deal to occur in certain scenes rather than being a permanent form of the character.
And the chap who played the Mouth of Sauron would be ideal. I wouldn't mind a new up and comer too.
*Not that a CGI character wouldn't include a human actor - Andy Serkis being a prime example - but I'm sure you get what I mean.
I'd prefer any Dredd films to be more grounded in reality than including characters like Judge Death. I find him a bit naff too.
I think judge death is best left in the comic,pj is a much more grounded villiain! :)

:lol: that was a good 'un, vzzbux dude, touche... didn't Death have a musical number in the comic at one time, if he ended it with "than' yoo, than' yoo ver' much!", Elvis is perfect for the role, the only trouble is Priscilla will ask for a bloody fortune for her somewhat deceased ex-hubbie to make a comeback- I don't think DNA Films could afford him, never mind...
If they do attempt Death for a Dredd sequel, he'll probably be like the new Judge uniforms- instantly recognisable yet still extensively redesigned for practical and realism reasons- meaning either a Cursed Earth mutant and/or a rogue PSI Judge gone nuts. He'll not be as gangly as in the comics (and I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to how his costume might look onscreen), but should have a certain imposing height and physique to actually pose a threat to a hard-as-nails badass like Dredd, which is why Bruce Spence would be perfect casting, he has it all - height (6ft 6in), wiry but not gangly, and that voice (Mouth of Sauron with a hiss and/or rasp) - the whole CG suggestion I'm not dogmatic about, it just depends on how DNA decide to portray him...

Obviously Death has to be played by Bruce Spence: who could play the twisted opposite of a Kiwi but an Ozzer? Unfortunately that means he can't appear until the third and last movie (see Mad Max, Star Wars Prequels, Lord of the Rings, Narnia films, The Matrix, etc etc etc).
As noted above, his Mouth of Sauron is a fine model to follow, and his Tion Medon isn't far off either:

Been a while since I last saw THUNDERDOME but Gibson's intonation (as I remember it) isn't just accusatory, it's one of sudden recognition.

David Tennant in the same wig. Problem solved.
Oh, I like that!

The Gyro Captain, that's the fella. By THUNDERDOME, he's found some Colgate and now has a name: 'Jedediah', if the end credits are to be believed. Despite the gnashers and the pith helmet, however, Max still recognizes him:

Definitely. And IMDB lists him as "Jedediah the Pilot", just to make it clear.
The trouble with having an actor just play Judge Death in physical make-up and costume is that he'll look just that- an actor in make-up and costume! Death should be something inhuman and genuinely terrifying, not to mention actually pose a real threat to and be a worthy opponent to Dredd and the justice system, which is why I believe he should be a CG creation, so people will have no doubt he's not just a man in a suit. Whoever it was that expressed reservation about CGI (sorry I can't remember), take a look at District 9- amazingly realistic computer-generated aliens on a budget.
Another question though, how would you properly adapt Death's iconic costume for a Dredd sequel, I doubt it would be just biker leathers, but then again...?
Sod all these actors I would make a good Death. (In a handsome, beardy way)

Yeah but I'm talking about Judge Cal in all his camp splendour..I even know who can play Cal
John Hurt, at a pinch. I'm sure he misses that curly wig.

Wouldn't casting a famous "Caligula" as Cal just serve to highlight the connection? I thought the whole idea would be to try and draw attention away from it, not help fill in the dots!
So, Judge Death - Steve Tyler perhaps? His mouth is freaky.
