Has Judge Solomon made only one appearance -cursed earth- in Dredd?

Will he show up in Origins?

It would be a decent film if the whole Nick Nolte subplot was simpler.

>Damn shame we won't be seeing his work on "Origins".

I second that, would have been great to go out on.

>"Um, Gibsons written screenplays.

Link: None of them much good, but still..."


My point exactly, thanks.

>yeah, whatever

Glad to know you were talking from your end orifice then.

>Well, he was working very closly with Gibson so I had no worries on that score.

Gibson writes novels not screenplays -two completely different worlds.

>I notice the Nueromancer project has died on its arse. That'll go down as one of the all time great films that never was.

It may have been awful considering he's never directed any narrative stuff.

WW3 will only begin if the US invades Iran -which it won't- Iran is the line in the sand and the oil nexus between the US, Russia, China etc.

It has always been: I, am the Law.

Robocop is a damned fine film though. Dredd on a small budget.

>I'm sure the writer, Ed Neumeier had gone on record stating that the source of his inspiration for Robocop was a comic book-not to hard to spot which one.

Yeah but the only comic he ever refers to is Iron Man, the swine. We really know who Robocop is based on.

 >"the preliminary sculpt for the Robocop helmet is a dead ringer for Mega-city's finest!"


Anyone have a picture of this to show on this thread?

"First, we'd already effectively had a serviceable Dredd-style film in Robocop. Secondly?and more importantly?the Dredd film tarnished the character's reputation to a massive extent in the USA and even in the UK. It's not always a case of "all publicity is good publicity", and I imagine that, if anything, Dredd is *less* popular worldwide due to the film than he would have been without it."

I totally agree, it has also scuppered the chances of a genuinely excellent Dredd film being made which, technically, is more achievable now with current technology than was back then. It will take a generation before Stallone's travesty is sufficiently forgotten.

"The Meg's lost everything about it that makes it such a crazy place - no fatties, skyboarders, batgliders, aliens, simps, cyborgs, futsies or robots - just a lot of 80s-looking bikers and disco casualties."

Most of the film takes place in the cursed earth, removes dredd from the city, and his uniform, and becomes another stallone film about an innocent man on the run, that's it's biggest problem.

The Uniform is more power ranger than Dredd in the movie. All that gold plastic,  a codpiece & a catsuit -more Judge gay.
