Could they be saving their promotion for the  American Convention season?

More events in the USA I guess and bigger audiences so with a limited budget it might be worth pitching the Film over there since JUDGE DREDD is an American technically speaking. I'm sure they'll mention something at the UK KAPOW event but it might just be 'yes, we've made a Judge Dredd Film ' type of blurb that tells us nothing.

Pitching it in American does make more economic sense even if we do feel a little left out here in Blighty land.

Blimey that's two whole months after we've seen it. We'll tell you whether it's worth going to see or whether you should live forever in blissful ignorance of it's c***ness!

At least there's no Cod Piece to embarrass everyone.

@ I am the system: Not gonna happen.  :)  Karl will get support in any form a fan can provide. Come what may come. I do not think the fans of Dredd or Karl will leave them alone in the hollywood world.  :)

I had no idea film distributors hated the Germans so much, making them wait like that.You think Hollywood would be grateful as the Germans past history makes for perfect film and TV  baddies. "Just add Nazis" being a well worn trope.

And the new film will I'm sure be grand.

The Justice department has a good re-education programme-it's called five to ten in the cubes.

... and as for not previewing it four months in advance, why not




In regards to how they might market it, nothing so far has indicated a philosophy of let it all out there.

I just checked the date again. They "moved" the movie a bit to 15. november....

Question to Hollywood: What is complicated to make one world wide release? It is not the dub-thing. (f.e. "This means War" was out a week before the US)

JOE SOAP

It all depends on the distributor for Germany, each territory will have a different one.

Expense I assume. You might not want to dub a Film that 'dies' at the Box Office. Bit mean but Hollywood's all about the dollar and making money.

Yeah...maybe it is the Disney-kind-of-thing-reason.... Anyway... I am really looking forward to the movie. Really Really Really :) *positive thinking*

Would you not prefer subtitles? I hate dubbed films.

karlurbaninternational

Subtitiles? Yes. Love english dub and english sub. But the cinemas only show dub. Later on the DVD and Bluray, subtitles are not a problem, most of the time. But in the last years, more and more DVds do not cover english subtitles (f.e. Margin Call...such a big disappointment). So you have to import the UK or USA DVDs and BluRays and click on the button for "hearing deaf".

Your lead actor can only physically be in one country at a time to promote it.  If a company can stagger the release dates then they can stagger the chat show appearances too.

Hm. Let`s see how many time Karl has later in this year. "Red 2" is on the shooting-plan. But well, waiting and hoping :).
