Dredd (2012)

Quite - look at the relationship between George Lucas and Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand...

And ALL the Marvel films.

I still say Spielberg was born to direct Captain America 

[Diminished Responsibility]

Yeah, I understand what your saying here, for instance; Danny Boyle is well credited with 28 Days later, yet you won't see much mention of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo for directing the follow up.

Still, in this press release they talk about the writer, the actors, the producers and the cinematographer, but not the director? Regardless of the hired gun status, it feels a bit off. He was an important part of the creative team.

Anyway, the big plus I got from reading the press release was that they are all stoked for this move, there's plenty of talk of a franchise and sequels. They sound universally confident that they are bringing us the goods. Yeah its a press release, what should I expect, but it sounds genuine.

[Danbo]

All we can do is suck it and see,and it's not like and 'name' directors have never made shit films.
It's a fingers crossed situation either way.

"Thirlby has what Reich calls an "Indie New York actress" vibe to her and "that works perfectly. Anderson was based on Debbie Harry in John Wagner's mind and that key vibe Olivia has in spades. Dredd doesn't take his helmet off and that is hard for an actor and an audience and Anderson can't wear a helmet, luckily, because it interferes with her psychic ability. We can see her eyes, so she is our human way into the film and it was important to have an actress who could show that vulnerability as well as the strength to be a judge.""

Dredd 3D Facebook and Dredd offical website updated their cover; would like know what font it is, as 3 looks good.

[JOE SOAP]

I believe it's Agency FB Bold.

It could almost be the eye bit of the helmet if you turn it on its side.

While I don't think Nancy Allen ever had a New York indie vibe the RoboCop ref is there, but, the Cass Anderson and Joe Dredd partnership was around a lot earlier than RoboWeller hit the kinoplex.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Yeah, that was really cool of Urban. Looks like we may get to hear the word creep after all. I sure hope so.

Er... we did.

In the movie.

Is that the same font as the old one? Looks slightly different, maybe the colour or texture?

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Looking at my sig, thinner it seems.

It's the same font.

It's the same font.

Same font family, just ones condensed.

Go on then Beaky, i'll bite- explain how V for Vendetta was about a noble right wing government and an evil freedom fighter in such a way that the audience's sympathies were significantly different than that of the movie.
SBT

It's not, IIRC, V for Vendetta - the graphic novel - was more or less about the two polar absolutes of totalitarianism and anarchism, whereas V for Vendetta - the film - changed that emphasis to turn the 'freedom fighters' into noble liberal warriors, they even mentioned it sometime around it's theatrical release about the change in certain aspects of the script to more reflect the Bush-era world it was made in, and whatever I may think of the Wachowski's personal politics (not to mention their personal 'proclivities', read the Rolling Stone article from a few years back for that sordid story), I actually really wish they'd directed ...Vendetta themselves rather than making or after finishing the Matrix sequels, they're genuinely talented and interesting filmmakers, and a darn sight better than James McTeague, still, roll on Cloud Atlas, that's going to be one unique film, however it turns out...

Quite - look at the relationship between George Lucas and Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand...

That's what I've thought all along, Pete Travis was hired to direct Dredd on a purely technical capacity, the vision for that film is and always was DNA's...

Jock tweet that he off to see Dredd in London today, lucky bugger!

Hope his reaction is good.
