So this is never going to happen. Never. It was an interesting idea & may have been good.

« on: 06 March, 2020, 09:34:33 PM »WTF? You know this for a fact. What a morbid little soul you are.
Starting this in the full knowledge that this isn't going to be funny, and people you love are probably going to die before this is over. So I apologise for offence in advance.

Prog / Re: Prog 2170 - Regened (2020)
« on: 29 February, 2020, 10:54:27 AM »I see. But is there any evidence that these Regen progs increase readership in a significant sustained way? If younger readers pic up this prog do they go on to read it on a regular basis?I don't see the point of these Regened progs. If young readers enjoy it then next week they pic up the prog & it's completely different. They should just be specials or a separate prog running alongside the real one.It's been discussed before but it's enormously (prohibitively so) expensive to create a brand new comic and distribute it to newsagents, if it was as simple as just printing it they'd do that, but it's not. You'll hit inertia with the distributers and the newsagents, and newsagents - let's remember - frequently charge for magazines to be located in prime spots - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/feb/14/wh-smith-moves-telegraph-titles-to-magazine-section ) so I suspect (and I have zero inside knowledge) the hope is they can get these on the shelves in place of regular progs and build the momentum to have the readers/distributers/newsagents ask for more...
(It may be pure wishful thinking to hope we'd get a weekly regened, it could be the fact they're specials is what's making them ...uhm./.. special)

« on: 24 January, 2020, 04:08:32 PM »Depends what they’re going for. You can do a lot with sound-stages and greens-screen. But also, if you don’t have high-profile stars and keep expectations realistic, you can do plenty with real-world sets. (See the Dredd movie, for which Garland repeatedly said the $45m budget was bullshit for marketing, and was in fact much lower. Urban claims $30m.)I guess but I thought they were going for a look closer to the comic.

« on: 24 January, 2020, 02:50:32 PM »I don’t see why not. TV shows and movies often spend years in pre-production. There’s no reason this one would be any different.I look at shows like The Mandalorian, the budget on that. Can Rebellion compete? If Mega City One is to be made it can't be on the cheap.

Digital copy on my commute. Always save Dredd to the end as it is my favorite strip.
