Dredd (2012)

[The Adventurer]

I only just got why they gave him a blond un-helmetted sidekick. She's the Anne Lewis to his Robocop.

That's some cart-before-the-horse observation right here.

At least Danbo gets it. And Makepeace would've made a great Anderson. Assuming that was the chick.

She would have made a great anything,babe on toast.

There's a guy on the Facebook page right now claiming to have  tickets to a preview showing this Wednesday...

Put that last comment badly and now can't edit - What I meant to say is that my house is anything but a straight-line universe. It's not easy to wallpaper.

I remember a flat where if you spilt a drink -and we're quick enough- You could get it to roll back into your glass at the other end of the room...maybe with time I've exaggerated things...

I have loved this image so much since it turned up that I've just pored over it as much as I can but I have to confess, something about it started bothering me and I couldn't put my finger on it. Not in terms of concept but something technical. And then I figured out what it was:

Perspective. The perspective of the building Dredd's walking out of doesn't match the blocks in the background. Red lines are the perspective guides to the lobby. Yellow lines are the straight up-and-down of the blocks.

Couple of explanantions: The building's lobby's walls are slightly angled? Feel like this is unlikely as the shuttered door to Dredd's left follows the same angle as the entrance.

The cityscape in the background is actually just concept art, not a finished shot from the movie?

There's nothing wrong with the perspective in this shot. The walls of the building Dredd's walking out of are close up, and shot from a fairly low angle. Thus the perspective naturally causes the walls to converge towards the top of the frame. Due to the low the top of the walls are significantly further away from the viewpoint than the base of the walls. The buildings in the background, on the other hand, are much further away from the viewpoint in the first place. The tops of these buildings are not sigificantly further away from the viewpoint than their bases. Hence the effect of perspective on their verticals is much less pronounced. The overall effect is more pronounced than you would see with the naked eye because it has been shot with a reasonably wide-angle lens.

I'm a photographer. I know how the shot would look if I took it from the same angle with a 17mm (APS-C) lens, and that's pretty much it.

Just on the judges to the left, are they wearing some kind of jacket?

The ones at the Pat-Wagons are too. It's casual.

I was going to mention the fella in the long coat...I don't want to know about the script, but it's a compelling image.

If you say so.

Indeed. By strange coincidence she also played a MILF copper in Emmerdale.
