Dredd (2012)

[Steve Green]

I'm not sure what else they can do really - 2000AD have run an ad in the latest prog, and there are unrelated things like the comic sequel running next month in the meg.

Add to that Adi Shankar's short, any fan films, increased visibility of cosplayers.

I've no idea what effect this has, but at the very least it increases Dredd's visibility and reduces the chance of people thinking of the Stallone film when others talk about Dredd.

Also more and more Judges are on show at conventions now, which is good for keeping the images on the web and in the public eye.
At MEM in November there will be a mass patrol that should look awesome and will get good coverage, again on the web and who knows where else!

This article on SF Signal is indicative of the lack of interest in Dredd in North America. He read 2000AD, claims he loves Dredd, but still hasn't seen the film. WTF?

I've seen that statement repeated by people on this side of the Atlantic Ridge.

Drokk! He also used the 'target audience' bollocks

Halfway through, Garland... opens a plot hole he perhaps knew needed closing.

This is from the review linked to within the article. What's he on about?

[radiator]

Your guess is as good as mine...

Nothing particularly wrong with that, I buy umpteen Spider-Man comics a month and have zero interest in any Spidey movies and only caught the Raimi versions in bits here and there through TV. Just because you love the source material doesn't automatically make you want to watch an adaptation.

I feel the same. Although as a reviewer being aware of more can only help you in your work, seeing it I mean.

But, we have helped change his mind on seeing Dredd as he is going to buy the disc now! Just read the comments after his post, ahem!

think we'll need more then 75,000 signs. Shame the Dredd page run by lionsgate hasn't bothered sharing it.

5 million signatures wouldn't fund or greenlight a sequel but then that's not really the point of the petition. It's free marketing for the film and it helps sales of the blu-ray because it's a specific forum and focal for people to rally to.


It's got more signatures than any of the Firefly petitions ever did.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

True, but still, lionsgate could at least share the thing.

I hope the decision makers show sort of recognition soon. Even a "we're considering it" I think would get the buzz flowing again.

Or Karl Urban doing a little youtube video with his Dredd helmet on telling people to support the page would be ace.
