Dredd (2012)

[The Sherman Kid]

Ahhh.Sorry I thought it was film related.

[Kowalsky (formerly JudgeGumpty)]

Sherman you dont need to apologise fella. Not everyone spends their time 24/7 on here.

[Goaty]

Just 6 months to go

I recently saw the trailer for Lockout. I wonder if that will be more or less the feel of Dredd.

Maybe, but I don't think it will look particularly like that.


Here's a few nice snaps of Anthony Dod Mantle shooting Dredd to tide us over:





and the first photo of the director Pete Travis on-set:

And it was a barren and arid time...so much so that a plague of locusts did fly devouring the smallest morsels in their path!

An Ode to waiting for more Dredd news.

[JayzusB.Christ]

A wank, I think.  But is that Karl Urban speaking or Toby Longworth?

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

CyberPunk shades or what.

Is that one of the 3D cameras?

3D shades


2 RED cameras in 3D configuration.

So how does it all feel? This strangely adventurous style of promotion? I'm kind of uncomfortable with the way a soundtrack has ushered in a raised bar of promotional items towards the ensuing film. It could, in a very narrow way, be cause for embarrassment on the whole,if the film itself is unpalatable in a finite respect. But then there is the IDW American audience gamble that may suffer from a low pay off too. Saying that, it is very bold and all patrons are quietly confident of the film.

As Film 2012 on the bbc showed it's love for The Raid as part of blockbuster season, it occurred to me the eventuality of this could leave Dredd looking like a similar plot over-exposing the storyline to viewers in a negative equity light.

It's all making me quite nervous. Anyone want to help me rationalise these fears?

Stop smoking so much dope on a school night?

There hasn't been any film promotion material yet and these other peripheral products are all separate entities. There's the book publishing which will be a slightly expanded version of the norm. The Drokk album which is akin to a fan project and not connected with the film. These things could happen without the dawning of a new Dredd film, in any year, and often has in 2000AD's history.


Whatever way the chips fall with Dredd, whether it's a brilliant, ok or shite film, the fall-out won't be as severe as what happened in '95, which was a clusterfuck of bad idea after bad idea, compounded and rammed up Tharg's green-star. The comic will endure as it's been running on a full cylinder for years now, it wasn't in '95 and there was a lot more at stake and not just a tone of money but a bad management structure waitng to liquidate the whole shebang on a whim.

Do you mean Stop Worrying the small stuff?

They still seem to be exciting interest around the buzz of the film as it is now though. But you're right, and have put me at ease with;
