Dredd (2012)

[Goaty]

Just back after romantic weekend away in Lakes. So any news on Sequel or Short film?

[COMMANDO FORCES]

If there was, do you not think there might be at least one post about it!

[Bat King]

On this forum?

The Raid, sighted here sometimes as DREDD's bane is on Film 4 next week Friday the 11th of July at 10.55 pm.

Bah! Still it says 2011 on the Raids Film release date. Will it be another year before we see DREDD on terrestrial TV?

Cool beans. I've been meaning to watch that again. Some of the fight scenes in The Raid 2 didn't quite feel up to scratch and I wondered if I was just remembering the original wrong. Or maybe its unnecessary 5 trillion hour running time meant I paid more attention when the action stepped up and was a little more critical.

And looking at the poor box office for The Raid 2, I wonder if they could have benefited from having the original film premier earlier (assuming this is the first showing).

When Dredd v Caligula: Dawn Of Darkness comes out in early 2016 I hope the original Dredd will have already hit TV screens a good 4 months earlier.

Yeah, I definitely think the chop fooey was better in the first than the second. Maybe the second film had different choreographers or Evans deliberately gave the two and a half hour plot his priority. I don't know. Whatever the case, I'd rather watch the original.

Even if some of the similarities with Dredd are quite jarring..

Apparently Adi Shankar's Dredd fan-film will be shown at New York Comic Con (October 9-12, 2014).

Really? How you know?

[JOE SOAP]

He'll be appearing there to promote Bollywood's Gangs Of Wasseypur and hinted at another short:

I have NO idea how you drew that conclusion from what you just presented.

On Gangs of Wasseypur


"Shankar will boost the pic to his fan base online and at events like New York Comic-Con in October, where he's scheduled to appear. "


In the spirit of speculation I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think he might not be going to the New York Comic Con purely to promote Indian gangster epic Gangs of Wasseypur.

It seems apparent from his smiley emblazoned response to a question on his twitter feed about the release of another 'Shankar short', and considering both his previous comic-shorts were debuted at previous Comic Cons, that his appearance at NYCC, instead of SDCC, would also be an ideal event to present his Dredd fan-film which he previously annonuced would be released this year in at least two publications– but if you believe it's a presumption too far ...

One might speculate that this is the before and after of an epic tussle between Joe and Ms. Natchios.

One might also ponder the posing of women in advertising.
