Dredd (2012)

[Goaty]

Well as mention before that Dredd got many hidden amazing parts, still an amazing film!

Wow, love it! Nice Blondie vibe going on there. I can almost hear slow motion gunshot wounds happening!!

Huh. I'd never heard that song in full before - it's pretty cool. I always wondered why the perps in that drug den were listening to what sounded like Donna Summer.

As opposed to a slightly crazed French guy who uses computer instruments for everything in his tracks (including psychotic guitars and 70s disco lead vocals).

Well he had to be in there somewhere, didn't he?

Looks like Mr Garland is getting very busy with other projects:

His first stab at directing, robo-thriller Ex_Machina, is generating some healthy buzz. So it's not surprising that Alex Garland is being considered for other jobs. Paramount sees plenty of promise in him, hiring Garland to write and direct Annihilation.

It might not be the cheeriest title, but it's actually the first book in Jeff VanderMeer's thriller trilogy The Southern Reach, which follows a biologist hunting for answers about her husband, who has gone missing. He was exploring a dangerous environmental disaster area that has been sealed by the government for the past 30 years, so perhaps the bigger question might be why he went there in the first place?

Great news for Mr Garland!
Let's hope it gives him leverage for a bit of Dredd sequeling!   

[radiator]

I don't really want to speculate on how the news will/won't affect the odds of a sequel - I'm sure the situation is much more complex than any of us can understand. I'm pleased that Alex is getting recognition though and wish him every success. I've very much enjoyed every film he's been involved with.

^^^ Yep

Perhaps like Joss Weedons Serenity Dredd will be seen as sort of stepping stone Film for Alex Garland.

It clearly showed talent and if this Film does well it might make Marvel or DC trust him with one of their magnus opus projects and after that who knows!

From his interviews I never get the feeling he'd be remotely interested in a Marvel/DC property.

Wonder what this could be about? Original screenplay! Cost the Earth to make I bet.

A long dead project:

I feel like crying!   Hope Alex got to keep some of the money they advanced him for the script.

The script was written and he would've gotten paid for writing it whether it was made or not.
