I can understand other websites using it, but that bogus poster of a bloodied badge made it to the listings for the Reel Cinema chain.

WOW, YET another interview with a complete and utter blank of the director and high priase for Alex and Dodd Mantle. It must have been a massive fall-out.

I agree i find it weird that whenever pete travis name is brought up alex or carl quickly change the subject like he didnt even exist,well it is what it is the film looks great cant wait to see it on friday 

Something went down, they handled it, let's leave it at that. Bravo to them all for keeping a lid on it and not spilling hissy-fits and bitching to the press - that'd damage this film before it had a chance. Maybe conflict's a sign of how passionate they all were about getting this right

I think this is a more than adequate answer to this continuing philosophical debate:


Q. There were stories that described your relationship with director Pete Travis as unorthodox and that you took over in post-production, can you elaborate on this?

At the heart of those stories was a lie that Pete and I had fallen out and that there'd been a disagreement.  There really wasn't. Pete and I never fell out – I met him for coffee a few days ago! We had a very clear, honest working relationship the whole way through and I like the guy a lot. The problem I have with this question, or the issue rather, is that I think it unwittingly polarises a question between me and Pete, and that itself is a deception. What it does is take attention away from people like Jon Thum (VFX Supervisor), Anthony Dod Mantle, who's an award-winning genius cinematographer, who when we're talking about slo-mo, we're talking about him. If this becomes a pissing contest between me and Pete it distracts attention away from Anthony, Jon, Mark Eckersley the editor, the actual editor, Paul Leonard Morgan who wrote the score. I think this happens in film too much anyway, I think there's a lot of bullshit said on how films are made and a lot of bullshit tends to be about taking credit away from these really interesting people who are working in what is fundamentally a collaborative medium. It's a bunch of people working together. I was part of a team, Pete was part of a team and there were also these crucial people I've just mentioned. I'm not trying to be evasive while also clearly being evasive but I just want to reframe the question to what the reality of making the film was. The reality was Anthony Dod Mantle and Jon Thum doing amazing work making slo-mo. It shouldn't be Pete and it shouldn't be me. I don't want the film to be presented as something it is not. It's collaboration.

The whole travis/garland  thing is going to rumble on.. no matter how much they deny it, i don't care if they fell out or the relationship was fraught.. i also don't care if they are best mates.. i just want the movie to be good.

on the subject of rumours, who remembers the guy who said that his mate worked at Lionsgate and the re shoots were to tone down the violence because the studio were unhappy with the gore and they were going to release it as a 12A..

The prequel comic by Matt Smith and Henry Flint is online now: http://www.scribd.com/doc/104439907/DREDD-MA-MA

How good does the movie uniform look drawn up by Mr Flint. Fantastic!    Please Mighty One, print this in the Prog or the Meg.

That's an excellent wee story...I was hoping it was a few pages longer. Superb.

That is one hell of an impressive answer. Nuff said.

You know, that last line...I really did laugh-out-loud.

Ha ha, that's great. 

[radiator]

And funny also that Domnhall Gleeson is in both!

[SKD]

 I've heard the Dredd audio trailer five times today on Kerrang! radio. A little bit of La Roux's 'In For The Kill', a little bit of "From the acclaimed comic book..." and a few choice sound bites "Ma-Ma's not the law, I'm the law." The trailers they generally play sound rubbish and usually end in a misplaced scream. For some reason I turned the volume up every time the Dredd one came on, funny that.

Looks like Dredd might not pull in the punters as expected.

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/arts-entertainment/men-torn-between-anna-karenina-and-dredd-3d-2012090540007

It did hit me today though that its biggest competition will be Lawless, which is looking good and might pull in roughly the same types of casual blokey film-goers. Think it'll still blow it away though (hopefully)!

[Goaty]

Keef Monkey, it's Spoof website!

[dweezil2]

I need the boards advice.

Is it normal for a nearly 42 year old man not to be able to sleep at night because he's so excited about the forthcoming release of Dredd on Friday?

I ask this on behalf of a friend, you understand!

[Danbo]

Nothing wrong with it,Chuck Norris never sleeps either,he just waits
