Dredd (2012)

[radiator]

Sin City 2 is in 3D?

Initially I recoiled at that, but it could actually be pretty cool.

[Goaty]

Dredd is being screened at Cannes:


There are still plenty of 3D titles cramming the halls of Cannes' Marche du Film. The Weinstein Company has Escape from Planet Earth, a 3D animation film featuring the voice talent of Jessica Alba and Brendan Frasier, as well as the horror parody Piranha 3DD; IM Global has Dredd, its 3D reboot of the sci-fi franchise with Karl Urban reprising the role of the vengeful titular judge

Ugh, much to be niggled by in so short a sentence. Aside from the "reboot" bit which we're getting used to, "vengeful"?????

[dracula1]

....and titular!  Sounds like something you'd have in a porn movie and not an action flick.

Don't think this is right.Dredd is not being screened at Cannes 2012 as far as I can tell.There is no listing for them being screened-they may have a prescence there but if they do I can't find it   

[Hoagy]

Well he HAS been a vengeful and titular Judge enough for many journos to regard him as such a few times. Maybe they just c and peed its usage in an article they found on their research.

[James Stacey]

don't think he has any choice in being titular unless they change the title

It's in the Marché du Film, the big film marketing event going on at the same time as the main Cannes festival where companies try to sell their films to international distributors.  Many of them are screened or have excerpts screened, but I don't think it's necessarily guaranteed.  (I pretend to know what I'm talking about, having Googled this about fifteen minutes ago.)

I did have a poke through the Pocket Guide linked here (rather absurdly named, it's massive) but couldn't find any mention of Dredd, so it's possible it's being presented but not screened.

The films listed are not in 'competition'. Cannes is a market too and there are many screenings.

They have stands where they can schedule meetings and book screenings to show completed films or extracts of films that are in the process of being produced.

Good Grud! Listen to this

At work I feed a big, strapping, sometimes violent lad at lunchtime. Like every other day, I was sitting opposite his teacher, the lovely Mrs Aidee, making small talk. She says "Oh, I showed my sister Tina the Judge Dredd page you put on Facebook."

I asked her why, wondering if she was into comics.

"Oh, she's just edited the new film!"

"Wha-buh-huh!?!" I asked what she thought of it and she said it was "Dead gory!" I also asked which other films she's worked on, she said Sunshine and Pride and Prejudice.

Mrs Aidee used to be Miss Richardson and sure enough, on IMDB there's a visual FX editor called Tina Richardson. I've asked for gossip (and pathetically sent her a FB friend request) and will keep you posted! I can't frigging believe she never thought to mention this before!

It's a small world, but I wouldn't like to paint it...

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Don't tell anyone else Pete, just ring me with the info and I won't blow your Block up 

[blackmocco]

Well we're going to have some reviews real soon, in that case. Can't imagine they'll show the entire movie, would they? Maybe an extended excerpt? (That'll end up on youtube for five minutes...)

[The Sherman Kid]

Quite a week you're having Pete.All that remains is for Mrs Aidee to tell you she fancies you and would you mind at all if her sister joins in... Buy a lottery ticket this week you lucky bleeder you're on a roll

[Noisybast]

Can he not be Eponymous, instead?
