Dredd (2012)

[The Adventurer]

*loving the new poster*

stupid question alert: Can someone explain me *language-wise* what the difference is between
"judgement" and "judgment"?

The difference between Judgement and Judgment is English English vs American English.

Judgment is more commonly used in American English, and tends to be used more in a legal context. Both are valid spellings of the word.

+more questions: in which casefiles are the single stories of "Origin", America, and Death Man?

None of these stories appear in any Case Files volume so far published.

America is technically a spin-off of Dredd, so it appears in it's own book, which includes America and it's two sequels:



Also available in these older editions (but I recommend: the most recent book as it includes more stories):





Origins was published in 2006/2007, and the Case Files so far have only published material from 1977 to 1993. Origins is available in it's own book though:



Bit confusing! The Dead Man again is technically a spin-off, so appears in it's own book. Tale of the Dead Man is the sequel story and appears in The Complete Case Files 14:



Also available in the older edition:



(When The Dead Man was serialised in 2000ad, it was not billed as a Judge Dredd story, and it wasn't even made clear that it was set in Dredd's world. The identity of the Dead Man - Judge Dredd - was only revealed at the end of the story.)

*Necropolis was in 14 *bought* and the Tale of the deadman in 13, right?*

It's raised its ugly, bald head on Aint it Cool's poster thread. The lack of 'Judge' in the title shows contempt for fans of the comic, apparently. I'm off to bed, why don't y'all deal with it:

I wouldn't bother with those Shitehawks.

Just got thought, as when there first official Dredd poster came out, while later - a new trailer.

So it could be likely 2nd trailer in week or two?

I was trying to do damage control on Yahoo's Dredd thread on FB. What's the point? People are fucking fucksticks. Hollywood. Remakes. Blahblahblah. I hope they all die in a fire.

Well I speak to people that I know about the up coming Dredd film, and although they show a passing interest I find that they are much more interested in mediocre product such as Total Recall or Spiderman. It seems as a sweeping generalisation movie audiences  like to be spoon fed the same old nonsense these days. Or perhaps they've been beaten into submission by the years of Hollywood pumping out this inoffensive cookie cutter crap.

How do you convey to the general population that a Judge Dredd franchise could encompass everything they love about popular sci-fi storytelling from Blade Runner to District 9 and more?

Interestingly when I recommend the same people go to read the original Watchmen or Dark knight graphic novels they show the same lack of interest, but lap up the movie adaptations like Umpty Chew.

I think the success of the film will come through word of mouth but It'll be interesting to see whether that success will come before it's released on DVD.

If they like Watchmen etc you should tease them by talking enthusiastically about a key scene that did not appear in the film

I tried too with several books, LOTR and V for Vendetta without success (to encourage people to read them before seeing the films). Reading is work and people are lazy, many now think the crap idea they have in their head about each of these books is what the book is. Although the film of LOTR was exceptional I think an effort should be made to see the work in your head before you see an adaptation on the screen. It's just good for your brain.

But you can't really sell it to them, can you? The reason you like these things is that you have a specialist interest. Or perhaps it's just down to taste.

I was thinking this when seeing the poster, in a "Dredd is even freaking more awesome than a green intergalactic cyborg warrior!"-way!

[Goaty]

Total Film in Facebook update their cover, guess what it is?

[Fisticuffs]

Pretty cool, even if the contrast in lighting is horrific.

5 weeks to go today!

Yeah it's a great poster based on a classic pose. I took a similar one for the Planet Replicas shoot, but wasn't quite happy with the pose looking back on it so it never got used.

If Dredd's left knee had leaned ever so slightly further out that shot would be perfect! I've seen a lot of pictures of the planet Replicas suits in action, but I really like the detail I can see here, the boots are mint!
