Dredd didn't have Danny Boyle.

It was made by his production company, DNA Films.

I love this place.

This comment prompted me to look up DNA Films on Companies House, and I found that the director of DNA Films, Andrew MacDonald, founded a new company called 28 Years Later Ltd only last month. Since DNA Films also made 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, this is a good sign.

28 years Later was confirmed in January

Danny Boyle has directed several films produced by DNA Films, but has no formal connection with the company.

I've seen him comment on this frequent misconception that he's one of the owners.

Not something the general public would be aware of. Nor does it mean he had any noteworthy involvement in.

I vaguely remember someone saying that film, whose name escapes me, about a Mad-Max-style dystopian Scotland walled off from the rest of the UK was supposed to be a sequel to 28 Weeks Later, but maybe that was just fan-fuelled speculation. There were no zombies in it, anyway.

Mad MacMax - The Rude Worrier.

Sounds like Neil Marshall's Doomsday... I haven't seen it, but I also haven't met anyone who says it's any good. These two things may not be unrelated.

Must be. I thought it was OK, though hardly unmissable.

Mad MacMax - The Rude Worrier.

Ha! I have to admit I first read that as Mad Max McMad, thanks to Blackadder.

[The Legendary Shark]

Which is better, heh. Perhaps the only possible improvement would be the addition of the prefix 'Wee.'

[Barrington Boots]

I really like Doomsday. It's objectively crap, but its very enthusiastic. It's got Mad Max, zombies and knights on horseback all in the same film and plays it totally straight.

[Hawkmumbler]

Oh aye Doomsday goes hard. It plays out like a zero budget genre project in the vein of Michael J Murphy and gives it a cash injection without skimping on the absurdity.
It is, as previously stated, pap but the sort of big budget genre pomposity that we sadly just don't see major studious taking a risk on anymore.

It was a decent mash up of Escape From New York & Mad MAx.

Dredd didn't have Danny Boyle.

Just don't put the squeeze on him.
