Dredd (2012)

Seriously, do we HAVE to have this conversation all over again?

Some people think if they say it enough times, it'll happen.

[Third Estate Ned]

Well, if it cycles round like this until September, it will happen eventually.

[Richmond Clements]

And I don't see what budget has to do with it when there's a lot of ways to promote for free now with the internet.

Indeed. Everyone knows 'they' don't have to pay anyone to do their PR when it's through the medium of the internet...

Be thankful we're not talking about the size of Karl's helmet...

Why do you think its too big ?

Maybe that's why Stallone wore a codpiece.

There was New Zealand news article about one of their NZ actors... Karl Urban, included in a little film called Dredd or something...

Moderators, I think this thread is broken.  It seems to keep recycling the same few comments again and again but putting today's date on them.

Yup

It's not that unheard of to start advertising now.

And what about the Empire thing they did ages ago?

I think the above are all reasons for advertising now as it is not well known that this film is coming out. If they release a trailer two months before hand a lot of people still won't know about it's existence when it hits cinemas.

The sooner they start pushing it the longer they have to build hype.

The kind of forum-monkeys who wet their knickers about action/sci-fi/comic book films- whose attention Dredd (2012)'s going to have to grab for word-of-mouth- are convulsed by a three or four month ejaculatory ecstacy of Avengers/Batman/Spiderman/Hobbit spunky fun.

Trying to interrupt that nerdgasm would be futile. Trying to grab the attention of mainstream movie-goers, who don't- generally speaking- cream over trailers or hang around forums, will be a different challenge altogether.

It'll be here when it arrives...

People who come to this forum just to post about the Dredd film: please buy the bloody comic. It's really good.

Thanks.

some upcoming films have been rated in the US and DREDD is one of them

It will be rated R  for "strong bloody violence, language, drug use and some sexual content"

Ace!

some sexual content"

That will be the helmet.

[JOE SOAP]

The Dictator got an R-rating too.

Ooohhh, it's been rated already?  With that "sexual content" bit, I guess it means THAT scene from the leaked script draft has evidently made the final cut, does the rating also state the running time as well, perchance...?
