Dredd (2012)

[Bat King]

Still a lot I wouldn't have liked in that script, also in the one we got:
* Dredd knowing Rico is his clone is central to the story.
* Altering Dredd & Griffin too much.
* Fergie... changing a character so much... Just make up a new character!!!

Some of the rest sounded better. Rico getting a mob together bears there clone army. Gila Ninja would have been interesting but losses the best bit we actually got, Angel Gang.

Use Rico by all means, but add he was. Dredd's better clone Gerhardt went bad. Vienna's father. Show Joe has a heart but have him blow his brother away anyway. Because that is the law. Also, play 'he ain't heavy, he's my brother quietly in there background...

Use fergie - he isn't a Trog so shouldn't upset the gritty realism. But he is big, has learning difficulties and is a hero. Though I have nothing against Toughs anyway.

I really hope they use 2000ads birthday to reveal more on the film.

Wasn't that a few days ago ?

My guess is after 17 years he has more than likely forgotten about it. It's only us obsessives on the forum who are really bothered about the old version, which as films go was pretty unmemorable.

I guess what I mean is that if Stallone gets to watch Dredd, will he maybe think something like "you know, maybe that's the movie we should have done 17 years ago. And maybe if I had resisted the urge to feed my ego, I would have kept the helmet througout the movie like this guy Urban did."

i know what you mean weehawk. But I doubt Stallone with his big ego, has many regrets over what he did to the film.

The funny thing is that in some ways 2012 Dredd could be seen as the equivalent to John Rambo and Rocky Balboa, in terms of ditching some of the cheese which came before them. So in that respect you may be right.

26th Feb is official birthday...

[Danbo]

And they are at that comic con in London on the same day,if they did have something up their sleeves it would be a great time to show us although I'm not expecting owt.

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

I remember asking about this somewhere and MolchR or one of the Mods said definitely NO Trailer at the celebration meeting.

But you never know.

[Molch-R]

I'm not expecting owt.

I can't stress this strongly enough - if we were, you'd have heard about it by now!

[Goaty]

26th Feb is official birthday...

Aww that's my dad's birthday!

[Bat King]

Not a shy and retiring droid that Molch-R

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Long vigil till we sit in awe at the trailer.

Hope it's a good awe rather than shock and awe of this-Movie-is-straight to DVD rather than ass whooping Blockbuster.

Do you think they'll put a codpiece in the Movie Trailer just to frighten us?

Lets hope the powers that be use the London con and birthday to their advantage. If not it is a missed opportunity for good Promo and may indicate the film company distancing itself from the source material and fans completely
