If they want Windows that's another £70.
Monitors start at around £70, and add a keyboard and mouse if they don't already have those.

That biotronic sticker figure looks like it might be early Kevin O'Neill.

The cover's Bellardinelli, but the interior is a copy that's been completely redrawn, changing the mouth and cheek, but is essentially a trace. Definately not Bellardinelli's hand there, but possibly O'Neill again.

Great, thanks for the lovely hi-res images of some oldies, but isn't the "Dredd Dead?" badge cover by Robin Smith?

The Classification site states the version is "original". Looking at other films I take that to mean it was passed as submitted, assuming the version submitted prior to September 14th was uncut by the distributors.

No. In short:
DNA buy the rights and put together a film proposal
IMGlobal/Reliance finance the film ($45m), and court distributors.
Distributors buy rights to theatrical/home media. ($30m before the Lionsgate deal). They get the bulk of the take, but money also trickles back to IMG & DNA.
If distributors make big money then they are more likely to buy into a sequel.

Dredd feeding Ma-Ma slo-mo. Motive-wise, it would've worked better if she'd taken the slo-mo herself, perhaps during the fall. She was a crazy bastich - kind of thing you could imagine her doing. Dredd doing it felt like torture. Illegal use of narcotics - off to Titan with him!

Dredd's questionable action bothered me after the second time I saw it, but on the third time I noticed that even though he's pumped the vapour into her mouth, she then chooses to inhale it. She's resigned to her fate.

In a New Zealand radio interview the other day, Urban said he's going to Australia then Japan as part of the publicity tour.

It's at the 8m50s mark

Anyone find reactions from the production crew and studio in regards the box office numbers?
I'm sure everyone is gutted by the numbers and are keeping low key till the worldwide release is done.
Is Karl still on the promotion trail at the moment??

You don't really get reactions, and I'm sure no-one's saying anything until it's opened in all territories.
Urban is currently promoting the film in Australasia, then on to Japan. He is supposed to be publicising in Europe after that.
