Dredd (2012)

Yep, Stallone. Look at the bottom sides...am I missing something, is this a joke?

Yes. Notice the little laughing smiley a the bottom of Misanthrope's post. (It's easy to miss.)

Cheers

I'm just going to put my foolishness down to a lack of sleep on this occasion, cheers!

Good line..."His heroism is defined by the fact that he's walking into a building while everybody else is running out."

Perfect Judge uniform in action!

It was just my little joke aimed at people who think that the Stallone helmet is better.

I reckon this helmet works better for the film: but I wouldn't defend it in terms of practicality. Practicality would dictate a Stallone-style visor and a Urban-thickness helmet... and it would be pretty boring.

[Bubba Zebill]

Great action picture.

As far as I can tell, the Dredd team have not put a foot wrong...not one. Also...Anderson is likened to Debbie Harry a great deal, seemingly based on her. But there is a panel in the first J Death story when Anderson is driving the skeleton of Death to an apt. It really kinda could be OT in that panel.

Pete Travis On Dredd Controversy And hints on a possible trilogy...

Listen up perps, Dredd is returning to Mega-City One with a tower block full of crims to deal with and a Stallone aberration to erase from the public consciousness. Happily, rumblings of a troubled collaboration between director Pete Travis and screenwriter Alex Garland on the production have been laid to rest, stopping that famous jaw from clenching just a notch tighter.

For a film with the shooting title 'Peach Trees', things were rumoured to have been pretty drokkin' far from peachy in the editing suite, but the filmmakers are now keen to set the record straight. Empire follows the story in the new issue, speaking to Travis, veteran of Endgame and Vantage Point in recent years, and producer Andrew Macdonald to get the skinny.

"It was all bollocks, really," Travis explains. "Dredd was always an extraordinary collaboration between lots of different people. Alex's interpretation of Dredd's world was the inspiration for me to get involved."

While Travis and Garland collaborated more closely on set than a tradititional director/writer pairing, the film's producers refute rumours that the former was given his marching orders in the editing suite. "I have no idea where that came from," says Macdonald, drawing a parallel with the TV paradigm of writer-as-showrunner. "We stand by the unusual collaboration. Everything was built around the script and the character."

Garland, meanwhile, shares some pointers on where, should Dredd do the requisite box office, a possible trilogy might take Mega-City One's finest. Short answer: outside Mega-City One, because "outside is this desert terrain, The Cursed Earth". And could there be a place in the story for the don of dark judges himself, Judge Death?

And I bought it!

It's not fully practical to have a tinted visor, either way. Who cares, it's the future.

[Steve Green]

If practicality was the be-all and end-all, costumes in film would be very dull.

[darnmarr]

No argument there.

[Pete Wells]

I found this unreleased still in the Pete Wells Block Circular Vid Slug. It shows a scene where Anderson does wear a helmet...

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Look at the Lawgiver, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[Stan]

Now that's a double whammy.
