I do wonder though if the chief will wear the full judge's uniform - would seem slightly ridiculous for what is essentially an administrator to be decked out in full riot-style body armour. Fine in the comics, a bit silly on screen.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

#MIK -If you don't even know about the story you wont go and see it (silly  ;))

I already know more than enough about it. I don't need to know any more 'til shortly before it's available to watch. I tend not to plan trips to the pictures several months in advance. I do not need to know right now, in the same way I would not need to know, a year beforehand, about a new flavour of crisp that was coming out, or a new brand of absorbent toilet paper.

Really? Probably one of his most well-known bits, that and the crucifix/rifle thing...

I quite like Bill Hicks, just wish I found him funny.

Oddly enough, I agree totally.  A very interesting and charismatic guy, no doubt about it, and I would hope his intelligent anti-establishment message has made a profound impact.  But funny? Not to me, I'm afraid. Anyway, massive tangent - looking forward to the Dredd film, me

I'm in the same boat.

Used to own a Hicks video, some of his material is quite funny, but it is delivered in such an abrasive, toe-curling way I could never really get into it.

Sorry as I was not know about Bill Hicks, or not hear him, (bit trick as youtube not got subtitles to see what he says)

But I found about him in Preacher graphic books.

I was just thinking about that - never been a fan either of Garth Ennis's tendency towards the whole 2 MEN + SHARED LIKE OF PARTICULAR ASPECT OF POP CULTURE = BONDING thing.  Still like his stuff all the same

#Vzzbux -I'm busy.As for, 'they know what they are doing' ,they haven't got a good track record, the distributors, when it comes to promotion
#MIK -If you don't even know about the story you wont go and see it (silly  ;))
#Radiator-Stop labouring on cost.One man and his computer trained dog can set up and run a website for next to nowt, a poster isn't a big expense, nor is viral stuff, lots of cheap stuff they could be doing (how about releasing an artistic rendering of the city used for the film to generate buzz).As for District 9 ,they ran a very unique viral marketing campaign on and off the web which suited that particular film, you can't expect that for this film (especially from this distributor)
#Bat King - The above ( :D)



Whateva. It's a simplistic argument.

Total Recall will be released nearly 2 months before Dredd -has 6 times Dredd's budget- and there's still no trailer nor even a website for it either and I've yet to hear anyone complain or criticise. Why would anyone in their right mind release a trailer for Dredd now, at this time, with recent massive trailers for Avengers & Spider-Man swamping any competition and with very apparent similarities to the Raid -released in March- it would be incredibly foolish for them to play their hand. We ain't gonna see anything substantial till a lot of this stuff dies down.
