Dredd (2012)

Anyone know the budget for that one? It's potentially a double edged sword if it doesn't do well, and I can't see myself booking a ticket based on the stuff they've released so far.

The problem Lionsgate faced with Kick-Ass is their over-spend on the acquisition and promotion of the film. They bought the US rights for $15 million/worldwide rights for $45 million then spent $30 million promoting it. Even though it cost $28 million to make and pulled-in nearly $100 million at the box-office (of which Lionsgate get approx. half) they came up short. If the rumoured $100 million DVD sales are true it means the film might have earned some money but Lionsgate didn't take the oppurtunity to make or distribute the sequel...they passed the rights on solely to Universal.

So, as I have long suspected, JOE SOAP is a secret member of the Bildeburg group meeting in Watford this very day! Hail to the great Lizard I say!!

The Bilderberg, the secretive annual gathering of businessmen, politicians and defence officials, today meets at The Grove hotel in Watford. This is the guest list and agenda in full.

Is it just me, or does that not sound very secretive?

Had an or so spare today so it was watch Dredd or enter the june art comp which I have a good idea for this month but had to say not seen the film for a few weeks been very busy with work so needed my fix. That was the quickest hour and half   ever the film still keeps giving, still seeing little things in the background not had this much pleasure out of a film EVER. I know I've just opened myself up to smutty remarks there lol  . Any further news/ progress from anyone campaigning for the sequel.

Nice to see Dredd as No. 7 in Worst to Best Superhero Movie Costumes (bit wrong as he not superhero!)


Nice trivia I didn't knew;
Urban wears it like a pro – probably because he put the suit on for two weeks before filming to get used to it.
