Definitely Not Mister Pops

You've just described the plot of Deadpool
You may quote me on that.

CraveNoir

Cogan's Trade starring Brad Pitt announced for September 21st release.

Plot: Jackie Cogan is a professional enforcer who investigates a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game.
Genre: Crime, Thriller

"The September 21st date will set the film against the Judge Dredd reboot, Dredd, the animated family comedy Hotel Transylvania, and the thriller The House at the End of the Street."

Not really genre competition though, more like, there's another film out at the same time.

Yeah but it link the 2000AD Comic Judge Dredd not film.

I can't wait till September! I think Aliens: Colonial Marines will be out around then too, so it's gonna be a great time in my life.

Gettin' a little worried about the September 21st release date, it's getting a bit crowded - http://collider.com/cogans-trade-scary-movie-5-butter-release-date/146106/ - I just hope it doesn't hurt Dredd's chances at the box-office, although there is no real other notable genre film released that week, so maybe that'll help bring in the CBM and geek audience demographic and work in Dredd's favour... still hopefully cautiously optimistic!

It's a bit like being worried that it might rain that day. I don't think we should concern ourselves with the fact that other films will be sharing the multiplex theatres when it comes out. If Dredd can't compete with those films there's nothing can be done about it.

Every town should have a cardboard cut out Dredd; it will deter criminals.

I think the latter possibility is more likely Beaky. ;)

I agree - obviously releasing Dredd in the Summer, going up against the likes of The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus would be unwise, but pretty much any weekend either side of blockbuster season it's going to have competition of some kind.

It'll be very special for me as it's on my sisters birthday and my birthday is always exactly a week before. So that week will be one hill of a countdown.

Not being too knowledgable about these things- do new movie trailers always appear online first these days?

It might not do that well at the cinema, but will probably make for it in dvd sales. Machete didn't do to well at the box office but made a lot on dvd/blu-ray. Enough to get two sequels.
