Dredd (2012)

[Steve Green]

I'm hearing a vague sobbing from Nevada.

Ears fully perked, I'll be watching this space.

It could be nothing but it could be interesting. A friend of mine deals with security at pinewood. He said access was required for a new scope group. Scope groups in this case being very very early feasibility, location concepts etc. They can't call anything by its real name but it's usually obvious what the film is. There is a scope group for a 'gritty urban scifi' code named 'd2'. Make of that what you will

A quack squad of Judges.

Maybe those tax breaks offered to the UK movie industry could help.

I had to look twice at the positioning of that bubble gum

I had heard something like this roughly a month ago, ref locations but didn't want to post anything, as the normal negative clowns who seemingly relish in not wanting any chance of a sequel would've emerged from under their stones.

It may be nothing but I did tell at least one person as soon as the info came into the Cellar, as I couldn't hold it in

Citizen Tapir is curious. This odd toed ungulate will be watching this space...

[Goaty]

Oooh...

[dweezil2]

Will be watching with interest too!

Clowns is a bit harsh.

I totally get why people want to manage expectations - you only have to look on the Sequel page where it can start to get testy when people don't get something they want straight away.

Making films is a long, tedious, uncertain process. You only have to look at the difference between how what Karl has said has been spun, with what Adi's comments have been.

'gritty urban scifi' code named 'd2'

D could stand for Deckard.

Can I get giddy yet?!

I'd say not yet 100s of these scope groups get formed and many won't get past that stage. It's pretty much the first tentative step before even a script is commissioned. The only thing we can take from this IF it is Dredd is the idea of a sequel isn't totally off the table. (But yes it could be movement and that makes me excited)
