Only tentatively related.

Quite impressed with what this new camera can do.

It can shoot high speed video (up to 1000fps), which I believe is the speed the PhantomFlex they were using for slomo.

OK, it's not quite HD at the higher frame rates, but still amazing how things filter down to the consumer level (talking around 1K) so quickly.

You'd better buy one and make Dredd 2! Or Kill Ted the angry Dredd fans revenge film. Another

If I buy one, it would end being the 'In the Bath' story, in slow motion, with Commando Forces in the Dredd role, wearing a helmet. Nobody wants that.

I think they're more than happy with their endless Dredd memes about other films being greenlit.

Just watched DREDD for only the second time. The stuff that annoyed me at the time doesn't bother me quite as much now but the stuff I liked I REALLY like.

I don't think I've ever heard Eastwood's voice (and still don't) when reading the strip (if anyone, maybe Lee Marvin) yet Urban's resigned indifference is absolutely perfect. "Yeah."

Dredd's size. In comparison, say, to Judges Chan and Lex. He's fucking able despite them being bigger and all the more cool for it.

The violence. Against women, especially. The sexual stuff does what it needs to without being exploitative and Ma-Ma's demise is only grandiose because she's the villain.
Not sure if pervert or cheesecake expert.

Is it just me who's getting pissed off with the 'Make a Dredd Sequel' page. A great campaign, well run, now just being used to pimp another shoddy film blog. Should I feel it's ok for them to leverage the 100k+ fans generated by the campaign to get hits on their new site, or is it right to feel it's disingenuous and unfair on rebellion and the people who put their weight behind spreading the good word. I could just unfollow the page I know but that doesn't feel right. Till they change the name of it.

Steve Green

What else do you expect them to do?

There's no sequel news, and not likely to be either.


Unless you want 'Dredd unhappy about some sequel getting made' memes for a good while,

or 'why don't you kickstart it'

or 'fuck hollywood' until hell freezes over.

So they could either shutter the page, post news about comic stuff - which a bunch of the people on there don't care about either.

Seems like the intention is to try to engage with the fanbase of R-rated movies and foster an environment where they don't automatically tank at the box office, which would be more amenable to a sequel.

I still follow the page, but have just turned off notifications.
Peas sell. But who's Brian?

Going out Saturday night so because if I watch only a glimpse of Dredd I'll sit through all off it again.

Perfect timing to watch in the pub with the Dredd Screening Drinking Club, after the opening of the Judgement in Cardiff exhibition that day!
