Dredd (2012)

[A.Cow]

... D2 ... tough 'gritty urban sci fi' could describe a dozen movies.

I'm afraid you're all wrong.

My friend -- who's the sister-in-law of a doctor's receptionist located next-door to a film company -- tells me that it's an "R-rated" (that's Hollywood-speak, by the way, which proves it's legit) spin-off movie for a certain famous astro-mech droid.

Yes, apparently Disney are seeking to capture the "Boardwalk Empire" audience demographic and they feel there's an opening for Kenny Baker to be shooting bad guys and making some of the electronic noises that you're not allowed to make in a U-certificate film.

We now know what Goaty will be doing, once he wakes up

Haha! Love to but don't know how to kickstart it, boom boom!

Anyway, I thought there was one last year?

If that's your elevator pitch A. Cow, count me in.

Anyone even attempting to kickstart it would get shut down unless it was by the production, and approved. It would be neither their IP, or an IP they've licensed.

It's already been stated (by Alex Garland, I think) that Kickstarter is not a viable solution for a projection the size of Dredd. The largest amount of money raised is still a fraction of the relatively small budget that Dredd had.

Stop being a negative clown!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Yes, stop being so negative, we need more positive people on the planet

[TordelBack]

Yeah Steve, what would you know about making Dredd films anyway?

[Steve Green]

Well, not profit making ones anyway

[JOE SOAP]

Thanks for your email and interest in a Dredd sequel. Although DNA Films would love to make further Dredd films it is not a decision that rests entirely with us and currently Kickstarter campaigns are not a viable option to fully finance these projects. We do appreciate the enthusiasm generated through social network campaigns and will be monitoring their progress.

Best wishes,
Alex Kendall

Obviously the Kickstarter (or anything like that) is not allowed. Karl is keeping the fans happy but I stand by what I said about what I was told and didn't post anything about it until someone else did.

It may be nothing but what I was told was a little more specific but still, didn't say Dredd!

At this stage I don't think ANYONE has experience of a profit-making Judge Dredd film!

Apart from the logistics, it's more the improbability of a kickstarter working and the PR damage it would cause if it failed to meet its funding goal that stymies it for a feature, but, there's been a few other 'indicators' that another stint is not dead.

Until you choose to elaborate on that titbit of very vague information, I am going to assume you mean a sequel is definitely confirmed.

Great news!

[Goaty]

Ditto!  :

I glance back in at the boards to find a sequel has been confirmed  . What exactly was this "bit more specific " C F
