I'd put money on John Wagner KNOWING this is going to be a stinker of a film. He knows it's awful but he's just staying quiet. He's a smart guy, you think he's going to see the lawmaster photo and think "wow, that's just how I imagine it looks."

 

Of course not! I bet you he hates the storyline, the uniform, the bike. This is his character, he's written it for three decades and now he has to bite his tongue and see DNA **** it up. It's a shame. Still, we do get to see Anderson naked. I can't wait!  

As they say, every cloud has a sexy boob.

The film is going to be terrible. Think about it... if you were making a Dredd film why would you call the main villain Ma-Ma?



Crappy name. Alex Garland shouldn't have been hired to write the screenplay. He should stick to writing Hollyoaks.  

And why is it called 'Dredd'?

You'd think with 45 million dollars you could afford five more letters:

J.U.D.G.E.

I doubt this will be in 3D. Due to budget constRaints it's now being filmed in 2.5D.

"I can't believe what I'm seeing.  To me it looks like they have a miniscule budget.  Next thing we'll see is Mega City made of toilet roll cardboard and sticky back plastic. "

Well maybe this is why there's been no official photos. Cos they look so crappy!  

The leaked screenplay features loads of interior action. There's hardly any outside on the streets action. If the interior stuff is good the film can work. You only need a few establishing shots of the city to sell the scale of the city to the audience. Once inside Peach Trees Block it's much smaller scale. Of course Mega-City 1 blocks are meant to be huge so we may have to lower our expectations a tad.  Perhaps Peach Tree Block will look a tad smaller inside. Sort of a few small rooms and a measly corridor. That sort of 'epic' scale.  

I think some people involved with 'Dredd' should be held to account for coming up with stuff that is less faithful than a fan film!   Just think how good 'Dredd' could look if the people involved with the Judge Minty fan film designed the lawmaster, uniform and other vehicles. It's sad to see the potential of Dredd - even if it's just the visual look of Dredd - being compromised. I don't think the lawmaster looks terrible but it's obvious it's a bike with some box stuck on the front. Not much thought has gone into the design which is a pity.

On the potential plus side, the film is set in a block, the lawmaster hardly features in the storyline so in the grand scheme of things it's not a deal-breaker. But getting things right from the start would help.  

"One's a real bike the other isn't."

The guy working on the Judge Minty film is adamant they created a real bike that is identical to the comic version. He mentions this on Comicmovie site:

"for idiots that may think the picture i posted was of a cgi bike... WRONG... the bike is as real as it gets and was driven during the film too."
