Snub? Or is it just a corporate news angle to get the story in Forbes, since she's a fangirl?

News angle yes, but publicity for 2000ad.

Just caught some of it whilst flicking channels. Some new footage from what I can see. Nothing on TV BTW.

Is this ad going to be posted up online?

Hi Alex

Good Job on getting the film made! To say I can't wait to see it is an understatement.
You mentioned at LFCC that if Dredd took £50 mil at the US box office we will definitely get to have sequels. If we were to get sequels on the scale of Total war or Necropolis for example how big a budget would you need? What would you have liked to include in this film but were unable to due to budgetary concerns that you'd like to include in future films?


Cheers

Yeah, nice touch in any case.

Looking over the cast list of Dredd on IMDB [spoiler]it occurred to me that since it's listed in order of appearance Santi Scinelli... Resyck Man - must appear as the final joke of the movie, cleaning all the bits of dead bodies away to be processed. [/spoiler]

Come to think of it, trying to rationalise this movie is what drove that poor bugger in the letters pages mad, with his theory of a two-level city and multiple Dredds.

I must've missed that one ... sounds plausible.

That's the '95 Lawgiver. 

Though many things will be unforgivable to fans, I think we have to remember just how much the movie industry has changed: it was the era of action movie stars. Today, just the knowledge that a film is based on a comic book seems to bring in the crowds, who don't seem to care if they have heard of the actors before. Even if Stallone of Cannon had desperately wanted to keep the helmet on, or make it darker, their hands may well have been tied - Hollywood is about accountancy.

If you said to an audience there's a Batman film where Bruce Wayne wears the suit for 10 minutes at the start then takes the whole thing off and never wears it again for the next 90 minutes till the end I don't think you could realistically call it a film about Batman but about Bruce Wayne. That's what we got with the Stallone film. Not even the Burton/Schumacher Batman films did that.

But Nolans Dark Knight Rises did.

Good going Eliminator. Guess there's so much Thrill Power in the atmosphere at the moment it's beginning to affect the artist in all of us.

I knew you'd say that.

Something about that guy  grabbing onto the grating on the right side of the screen where people are being gunned down makes me think he's a cgi character. I assume he'll be meeting a very messy end.

Footage shaping up nicely.
