Dredd (2012)

[dweezil2]

Yes! people may want to avoid the plot synopsis as I did and have been doing on all sites. But for those wanting to read about the production side of things it makes for essential reading!

Reassuring to hear how much passion was put into the project!

Amazing that as the trailer was 12A rated, they are very good editing 18 rated film out to fools people which it would be mind-blowing at cinema! CAN't WAIT!

Just cut out the blood.

Just cut out the blood.

Yep, very good editing to do that!

Really like this bit -

The actor did, however, insist on cutting down the dialogue and found a perfect collaborator in scripter Garland, "If it can be said in one sentence it would be better than three. I wanted it to be very minimalistic with Dredd just saying the bare minimum."

Just goes to show the level of understanding Urban has for Dredd'd psychological make up.

[chuffsteruk]

That just brought a big smile to my face.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Yeah, that was really cool of Urban. Looks like we may get to hear the word creep after all. I sure hope so.

Now that bodes well.

Over on Karlurbaninternational there's the pRoduction notes from the press pack. They make very exciting reading!

Thanks for the link, makes fascinating reading.

Was particularly struck by the comments about Urban asking for lines to be cut: "If it can be said in one sentence it would be better than three. I wanted it to be very minimalistic with Dredd just saying the bare minimum. " Blimey, that's not like your usual Hollywood stars eh!

Everything I read about this film just gets me more and more excited about it!

[The Sherman Kid]

Just noticed something the [spoiler]character Kay played by Wood Harris is not listed as a character on IMDB or on Wood Harris' own list of film credits ,bit strange[/spoiler]

[Steve Green]

IMDB had a character called Ma-Ma Dredd at one point. I wouldn't read anything into it.

Accuracy, and for that matter keeping a lid on trolls is not their strong suit.

With regards to the press pack...

Seems everyone involved gets a good mention, except Pete Travis. in fact apart from being mentioned in the creative team section, he has only one mention in the entire press pack. That has got to be a first for a director.

Even if there were problems during filming, this appears a bit churlish, and counter productive.

Really? I thought he got several mentions and there were certainly more quotes from him regarding the production than I've read anywhere else.

[Diminished Responsibility]

There are two quotes from him, but there is nothing on what he brought to the project, at all. He isn't mentioned, Just quoted. Its pretty rare for the director to be unmentioned don't you think?

[blackmocco]

Dunno what the problem is. It's only a handful of successful directors who steer, develop and shepherd projects so you associate them with a certain movie and its success/failure. Most of them are just work-for-hire. This isn't unusual.
