Dredd (2012)

[dracula1]

Now that's method acting! 

[Fisticuffs]

That's brilliant. He does come across as a nice bloke, unlike many other actors that shall not be named...

[chuffsteruk]

It makes a refreshing change to see an actor that really, REALLY digs the character he's playing and...HE GETS IT!!!

After all, if your average cit who knows nothing of 2000AD catches the movie and takes a notion to pick up a comic they probably won't know where to start if the brand isn't promoted by the movie.

I think it's unrealistic to think the Dredd movie will make a big push for the 2000 AD comic, but some of the features have included it (one even having a section with Matt), and so I think at worst it'll showcase that Dredd and 2000 AD is an ongoing concern (something you wouldn't necessarily know from interviews with the likes of Ennis).

[Teivion]

True - but its a great shame not to see the 2k logo on any publicity I've seen so far.

Anyway, its all looking rather splendid.

True...but with a handy mix of no-nonsense.

I passed four massive billboard posters of Dredd on my bus route to work this morning (Nottingham). The last couple of weeks there have been two showing the cityscape 'Judgement Is Coming' one and this morning two of the new 'Dredd on Rooftop' ones have popped up. They're all well spaced out so I pass one about every 5 minutes.

Each one I go past gives me a little tingle of anticipation...

Weird, I've not seen a single billboard around London so far...

[radiator]

Neither have I.

Also we should be impressed that the TV spot mentions that Dredd is based on The Legendary Comic Book!

Wasn't so long ago that "based on a comic" was a dirty word to a lot of less enlightened film studios.

None in my hometown of Ashford, Kent either-and there's a billboard crying out for one too!

Now THAT's more like it.  Urban is fantastic, just fantastic, as Dredd.  That's as close to my personal idea of Old Stoney Face as I can imagaine.

And how about that Lawmaster in action!
