Dredd (2012)

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

There won't be another Dredd but the Production design for the Movie is still Mega.

Note how Anderson's helmet is practically brand new, her being a Rookie and all. Attention to detail there.

[Zarjazzer]

It looks so good. Ah well...

You've all just missed some fun on Facebook.

Some bod came on saying that Dredd 2 was on it's way and this was his opening gambit!

Hey Everyone.

At the end of the year there is going to be a short 10 minute film shot in Sydney as proof of concept for the official sequel to Dredd called Dredd: Total War. If anyone wants to be a Judge and has the Dredd universe uniform/costume, please PM me and I can pass on your details to Melted Sky Productions.

Also guys: WE ARE GETTING A DREDD SEQUEL!!!

As you can imagine, many questions were asked and the bloke got into a bit of a strop and said that he couldn't believe none of us wanted in and then he deleted his thread after something like 100+ replies in half an hour. He even mentioned the dreaded crowd funding route!

It's a pity he took it down as I'm sure many others would've enjoyed contributing to the one sided debate. And to think I was booking my flight down to OZ

It's a fan film.

[Steve Green]

I'd seen it mentioned for a while, along with some guys in Arizona doing a fan film - if he was talking about crowdfunding (and trying to make it feel like it was part of a sequel), that was pretty stupid.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

He was asked if it was a fan film and denied it but the toll of constant questions from all the unbelievers out there killed him in the end.

[ZenArcade]

Still seems to be a lot of interest in this out there. Z

[Steve Green]

There's no shame in it being a fan film - if he was trying to pitch it as some kind of 'proof of concept', you don't need one, there's already been a film.

It's the audience you need a proof of concept for, and a freebie 10 minute short doesn't prove anything.

[Tiplodocus]

Sounds like it serves him right. Nothing wrong with making a fan film but if the intent was to pass it off as an official real thing then that is very bad form. 

[Steve Green]

Yeah, I don't know why you'd even imply it's connected to a sequel, rather than just say you're making a fan film.

Maybe he thought he wouldn't get any interest without it.

The Sweeny [2012] is on Film4 at 9:00PM on Wednesday the 15th of April. It came out around the same time as Dredd but I've yet to see Dredd on a terrestrial TV channel.

Any idea when and on which channel the futures toughest Lawman will make his debut?

[IndigoPrime]

Film4 would seem an obvious choice (British film; critically acclaimed). Knowing Dredd's luck, it'll be on Channel 5, cut to ribbons and full of ads.

Ironically The Sweeney was the project DNA films were going to make under their deal with FOX Searchlight before they let the rights go and opted Dredd.
