There should be a new series on BBC 3 in Jan/Feb.

I worked on about five minutes worth (backgrounds, some 3D stuff.)

I think it'd have to be robot based...

Ro-busters or ABC Warriors or Robohunter

Ace Trucking Co. or Dr and Quinch might be weird enough...

The Predator/arm/Arachnophobia goofs wouldn't have shown up in the cinema. A lot of films which are shot 1.85:1 are shot open frame then matted at the cinema, so the screw-up isn't meant to be seen. When it's transferred to home video, they often remove the matte, to fill a regular screen but it often ends up showing stuff you weren't meant to see...

So there you go...

Channel 5 have decided that they are going to show two weeks of Cosmetic Surgery Live in the 11pm slot... so instead of Vic Mackey you get Vanessa Feltz (which is probably scarier...)

The Shield returns on 2nd October...

I thought the Fred West outfit in the Dredd story was a nice touch - I missed it on the first read...

Thanks,

I remember three of the ones you mentioned in the Meg, but not the others - guess my memory must be going...

I look forward to see what comes out of the DC deak though...

General / Strontium Dog reprints...

« on: 01 August, 2004, 11:55:14 PM »

Hi,

I managed to pick up a few old progs recently which had some old SD strips and wondered if there was any market/plans for some SD reprints or collections?

Considering the amount of other material out there, there doesn't seem to be much SD stuff.

Is there any chance of seeing some of the multi-parters, like the Ragnorak Job, Outlaw, The Killing, Rage etc. either collected or in the Meg?

Cheers

Steve

Superb....

Don't forget his ever-faithful butler - I mean, naid... Maria, or would it be Walter?

Must get a Whannnnk! sound effect in there as well. And a spinning eagle of justice.

Would be fantastic if the Dredd-Cave was still just a one-bedroom apt... in Stately Rowdy Yates...

Anyone else like to see some more Dredd stories by Simon Coleby?

I really liked his change of style on the recent(ish) Rogue Trooper stories, and his art in the one-offs in the Meg really seemed to suit Dredd. I wouldn't mind seeing a multi-parter drawn by him.

General / Re: Movie Dredd, which artist?.......

« on: 09 May, 2004, 11:24:11 PM »

Thanks for the welcome :)

I do like the McCarthy Dredd, I think the trickiest parts are the shoulder pads - It would be interesting to see how they would look if it were more articulated, maybe rigid parts attached to a more flexible base, so there is more give than say the block of gold bars on the movie Dredd.

I think the biggest mistake in the movie Dredd was changing things that made it even more ridiculous looking in live action (codpiece, platforms).

General / Movie Dredd, which artist?

« on: 09 May, 2004, 06:16:55 PM »

Delurking here...

If Dredd made it to film again, which artist's interpretation of Dredd would you think is the best template for a live action version?

Is there anything you would change to make it work better on screen, (codpiece aside)?

Cheers

Steve
