Dredd (2012)

[The Sherman Kid]

Can someone push a script under Chris Nolan's nose...?

I don't think Nolan has much interest in comic characters plus they couldn't afford him.

Not to offer him the gig, just to show him what he's missing 

[JOE SOAP]

Just send him a prog.

Isn't Nolan an old-school 2000ad fan? ISTR him referencing it in an interview.

Be very interesting to see how Kick-Ass 2 fares at the box office - providing it doesn't turn out to be a complete stinker of course.

Well, considering the truly awful source material, stinker is probably the best we can hope for!

As for a Dredd sequel - i reckon a similar budgeted production to the first film (but shot in 2D) wouldn't be that much of a gamble at all (and not having to spend money on the 3D effects would effectively raise the budget, no?).
As Radiator said, Dredd 3D found much of its audience after the cinema run, could mean a potentially larger box office taking second time round.

Also, considering the community buzz and media interest surrounding the original production, a surprise sequel could generate tons of free publicity.

I think if there ever is to be any feature continuation they're aiming for a higher budget.

The most charitable technical term is 'fluffer'.

Oh to be the fluffed.

The most charitable technical term is 'fluffer'.

Harsh in the extreme. Seems a genuine fan to me and his site is doing a lotof good in terms of promoting Dredd regardless of the prospects of success or failure.

If only a few more people become aware of Dredd and come to appreciate it, as we do, then this campaign will be a success, regardless of the final outcome.

I was referring to Mr. Soap!  Getting us all excited before passing us on to someone else with no guarantees...

[The Sherman Kid]

Oops , humble apologies Tordel

I'm a firm believer in saving-up.

DREDD's Last Hope

FRANK: Before seeing DREDD in theaters, I hadn't read the comics and was really only familiar with the Stallone film (a problem that prevented most people from seeing the movie I think). I don't really think the theatrical trailer really captured what the movie is all about either.


Nail -on- head

Dredd 2 would have a far far better starting point....

[IndigoPrime]

The Japanese trailer does better (although it's still flabby). The international one needed more action, less plot/noodling and a bit more Anderson to show off the film's gender balance. (It was quite galling to read all the reviews about Iron Man 3 apparently 'pioneering' gender equality in comic-book movies, given how well Dredd performed in that area.)

[Stan]

I'm not really sure how Iron Man 3 pioneered gender equality. I must've missed that.
