Dredd (2012)

[COMMANDO FORCES]

A few pics from Dragon Con over in Atlanta. These are from Lowell Gilbert, from The Judge Dredd Costuming Group



The Judge on the right (Lowell) is carrying some presentation pieces for Karl. Would you believe it, he never managed to keep a Dredd badge



And here are those pieces, which they handed over!





A massive well done to our American cousins

Great pics and as ever Karl is as tenacious as Dredd about Dredd , lets hope all his efforts on trying to secure a sequel come off. He IS Dredd just watched the film again and can't fault his performance. Any news on the proposed short film anyone ?

Last possible mention was New York Comic Con in October, but it wasn't a definite.

More Adi Shankar showing something, from what I remember.

Cheers steve was hoping for an ultra violent short as in the same way dirty laundry was , always thought Tom Jane would have been a good Dredd but thunk Karl has made the role his now

There's still plenty of lurve for a D2 but whether that translates to someone being prepared to stomp up the cash we'll have to wait and see.

It will be interesting - he's kept his cards very close to his chest - could be something unexpected like Truth in Journalism.

Trouble is, Jane's as good at burying franchises as Urban seems to be...

Think thats a bit unfair on Karl regarding Dredd as in my eyes it was piss poor promotion of the film that made it sink not the stars lack of appeal. Look at the love for the film now more people are aware of it, and thats through word of mouth through multi media sites like this one  . If only the films financiers believed in its product it might have had a sequel already.

Maybe there is something disturbing in the very concept of both movies. A futuristic neo fascist Policeman who worships the Law, a violent vigilante using the same methods of cold blooded murder that the violent criminals he hunts use. Violent authority is something we fear rather embrace though both films seem to have a theme that in a bleak world you make your own Justice no matter how compromised ethically that might be.

Judge Dredd exits in the aftermath of a Nuclear Holocaust where the only thing keeping society from total collapse is  State violence.  State violence it must be therefore the alternative being social chaos followed by a  brief period of Anarchy until starvation, disease  and cannibalism finish most of the human race off. The Punisher is set in a world of corruption where criminals out gun or out Lawyer the State so no Justice there for the average Cit. Vigilantism in the only alternative the Authorities either to weak;to compromised  or is even criminal itself.

Such ultra violent Action Movies are made for Adult audiences only and that's, I assume, not the demographic that generates most money these days it tends to be family orientated films. So you have to think that any bean counters commissioning a market study on whether they could make money from films of this type would look at the figures and say the word non of us want to hear - ' No.'
