Dredd (2012)

Greg Staples said this on his facebook:

I love the new design, it's really grown on me. He's obviously wearing some kind of riot gear covering his leathers. I'm hearing good things from the inside and believe me after the Stallone one they wouldn't go easy on it.I think it will feel very '2000ad'.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

I think the soundtrack should definitely be electronic and synth based, to give it a cool futuristic, yet at the same time, retro feel.

One of the things I have really liked about what I have seen so far is it looks like a film set in the future, but made in the 70s/80s.

I was thinking along the lines of that techno number from Shogun Assassin

[Danbo]

Escape from New York springs to mind.

Still think a track along the lines of this would fit in nicely.....

|That is a great quote!If it 'feels' even close to 2000ad we'll be very happy.

Pop Quiz Joe Soap -is the video interview with one of the producers the same producer who gave the quote at Cannes?

[radiator]

Yes it is.

They have too much of a traditional timbre or sound palette for Dredd.

I agree with Jim Campbell:

Suitable all right...................if Michael Bay made a Dredd film.

So long as John Murphy's "In the House In a Heartbeat" doesn't feature.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic piece of music used to great effect in "28 Days Later".  When it was regurgitated in "28 Weeks Later" I felt the power of the song was dilluted, and when it turned up in "Kick Ass" it only infuriated me.  In what was a pivotal scene, I felt distracted, thinking as I was "oh, that's the music from '28 Days Later'".  I don't want to be thinking about other films when I watch "Dredd"!

Enough about what I don't want, how about something like this?

I always thought that was Godspeed You Black Emperor sampled.

Oh wait it is! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Days_Later:_The_Soundtrack_Album

"The second movement of "East Hastings" by the Canadian post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor, albeit condensed, appeared in the movie but not on the soundtrack album."
