Just been reading through the comments on some of the links pointing towards the trailer news.. And it's incredible how much damage to the character the Stallone version has done, and how many people associate Dredd with Stallone as well as thinking it was a character created for the movie, not the other way round..

Very sad. But to be expected, Dredd has always been a bit ...well...cult. I knew 3 people that knew it when I was reading it as a lad. The Stallone disaster was the first most had heard of it. Let's hope this film rights things.

And people wonder why Alan Moore disassociates himself with films based on his books...2000AD should have done that with Stallone - although it would have made no difference, I guess.

It's Friday so here is an example of a man on an epic quest for beer.

I liked the bit where the guy fell over!

Me too, But I liked the bit where he achieves six pack better!

Trailers been up for 23 hours and has reached 469,000 views! Not bad at all

468,999 of those were me though.

...and it's definitely not a criticism of the direction either, both of us were delighted with the quality of the trailer....Just thought I'd share it guys and gals.

I haven't seen that image before... Where's it from? I only ask because I just mentioned (in the trailer thread)

how in one shot his shoulder pad is very gold. It is here, also.

I think that was from entertainment weekly. The goldie you posted looks like a test, pre-distressing.

I didn't know what phrase to use for fear of upsetting someone.However, (and I apologise profusely in advance), the only one that was apt enough was that the chin looked like the face we pulled at school when describing someone as a "Joey"(as in Joey Deacon.)

That was a craze from lands end to John o groats...

I wasn't gonna post again until the film hits, but I just got something I thought might interest you all and shows how long some of us have been wondering about the possibilities of a film being made. In 1985/6 I was
a graphic design guppy up in Aberdeen and my boss (more or less) was Brian Taylor. Yesterday I reminded him of a conversation we had about DREDD and that I recalled he'd suggested they could give an actor a prosthetic chin. Today they could do it seamlessly, like the prosthetics of HITCHCOCK or Meryl Streep in the Thatcher film. Anyway Brian finally concluded our conversation by sending this link today. It's just for kicks and not an example of Brian's wizardry...you can see that at Candykiller and Rustboy below. But what a long conversation that was, jings!

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I must with 'draw'. This is the only thing I've ever been obsessed with and it's finally been done justice. I'll watch the HD tonight, but I'm off the boards until September. paintings and comics to do.

Although ....I've just started sketching a poster of DREDD to capture my excitement over this film...If work allows me to get that done, I'll be back with that.

All the best, what a great forum!!!...what a laugh...fell off my chair more than once this last few weeks

See ye's in September ye shower of mutie bastards!

Love the trailer. And I love Booda's pic of Dredd from the trailer. Urban's scowl is the business! Dredd is back!!!!

Oh yes!...I've been told off for saying they 'nailed it' too often...so, let's just say - Garland and Travis Martin Fxxxxxx Luther'd it to the door!

Theres some really iconic imagery in there and that is one of them *putting the helmet on to Stallones taking it off*

Right!

I do like this image

Grand.

Lawmaster does looks fucking awesome!
Sorry to hear you didn't get in Blackmocco. Don't be too down.

See those things glued to the side? I drew those

That's a cool contribution...nice one!
