Dredd (2012)

wait, did I misread something or get the wrong end of the stick.....did someone say The Raid is getting a remake????!!!!!

Apparently so. Evans is also working on a sequel to the original version. Which I suppose will also get a remake...

Good article of Comic Book Recourses interview with John Wagner about 35 years of Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, and DREDD 3D.

From that article, an example of the PURE CLASS that is John Wagner:

There have been many, many writers over the years who have been called "the next John Wagner." What does that phrase mean to you?

Never heard the expression, myself. I assume it means cynical, world-weary and grumpy. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

My favourite bit was when the interviewer asked an irksome question about the comic, and Wagner told him to buy a fucking subscription and see for himself.

I wonder why Dredd's crying?

I've removed the spoilery post, and the replies related to it. Just in case anyone is wondering where their posts have gone.

What are we to make of the trailer being classified twice, once on the 26th june, and again on the 9th july, both times receiving a 12A rating, but the second time being a second shorter?

SBT

[JOE SOAP]

Both trailers passed with no cuts. DNA/Entertainment may have decided to alter the first trailer after it was submitted and classified but because it was altered needed to be re-submitted for classification.

The first trailer may not have been intended for cinema but the second one was and has a different title card?

[Goaty]

Think trailer was for 12A films at cinema, and later it will be 18 Trailer soon. :-)

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Whilst watching late night rubbish I often see a few Film Trailers, Expendables 2 for instance so do you think Lionsgate will follow suit with a brief TV AD campaign?

They seem to have very positive reviews at San Diego Comic Con and I'm sure a few Film preview programmes would be interested in profiling DREDD but is that enough to promote the Movie into peoples conciousness?
