You know Dredd in deep shadow makes me think of Jock's atmospheric artwork - I'd be surprised if the original sketch of the poster doesn't appear on his web page eventually.

I like the blocks being quite distinct from their appearance in the strips - they would seem to suit the film as we understand it, emphasising a dystopian near future rather than sci-fi adventure... as well as allowing more real world locations and making it disctince from the earlier film, pretty as the scenery was for that. They actually make me think of 1960s tower blocks, writ large? A film has less time to convey it's world, and I'm not sure there is much obvious logic in nuclear war leading hovercars.... which actually look a lot of fun. There's certainly no point in attempting to compete with the big budget fantasy movies.

The wonderful picture of the Cityscape is packed with info'. I've not read the script and don't want to. The suited up low tech geezers in the distance maybe old guard rioters cops struggling to cope with the developing Megs crime rate!?  .... Enter the new judicial replacement,  .... Dredd and a new team of judges??



...Oh!  to dream!

Why is what should possibly be one of the most exciting threads on the board have turned out to be one of the longest and most boring.

Great poster. Very atmospheric. Makes Dredd look.... well a bit like a hollow suit really. An extension of the fact half his face is normally hidden, and it works very well.

As for the city-scape, while there is none of the curvaceous architecture of the comics, there is a touch of the comics flavour. Just in rectangular form. I know that probably comes across like a contradiction but I really see a kind of suggestion in their shapes, something about the width at the top. It's certainly not just a bunch of New York style skyscrapers.

Looks good.

...and nowhere on that poster is there even any indication of who's playing the role. Bit unusual.
