Hint, hint.

Not really.. That's the first I've seen of MC1 too.. Just saying you can't judge an entire city from a snapshot.. For instance, we all know New York is pretty bloody dense, yet in this pic from the Empire state building, you wouldn't think it was -that- overwhelming..

That may be motion blur.  In the latest MC-1 pic, you can see some fairly clear shadows, and there's not much of a heel visible.

Maybe he's wearing porn star clear heels?

As I sit here in my apartment in Cardiff bay, I look out over Bute dock towards the city.. I know that the city itself is pretty dense, as most large population centres are.. However even looking at the place from here, I'm not getting the full view, as the capitol building is blocking my view.. Point being that Meg 1's density can't be judged from one angle.

Blimey nearly 250 pages! Be more in the region of 500 when the trailers due.

By the time the trailer hits most of us will be in a post orgasmic coma..

Found an animation...

D:0.0 | 25 AP 25 INC 25HE 150FMJ

I -think- the D:0.0 is the distance to target.. AP is armour piercing, INC is incendiary, HE is high explosive and FMJ is full metal jacket..

You must be so happy now , Michael , now that the images are coming out and you you can speak more freely!
What does the writing say on the Lawgiver? I can't quite read it other than 'SEMI'

Looks like they may be ammo counters.  It's blurry, but it looks like:

0.0.0|00ap|03??|021x|051ml

ap = armour-piercing?
The others would be other ammo type.

Yup.. Armour piercing, High explosive and incendiary, if I recall correctly.. Oh, and standard 9mm.. I think ..

Cool.  You wouldn't happen to remember the actual abbreviations used. would you?

Alas not.. AP.. INC?.. HE...? As I said.. Bit fuzzy on it nowadays..

No double whammy..

You know, re the raised roads.. (I'm as much in the dark as you chaps, so I'm guesstimating here..) .. As someone stated above, there does appear to be plenty of building below the level of what we can see.. Considering they're so established in the comics, I have no doubt they're in the movie..

Just clocked these beauties on Facebook ... By Grud they're awesome!  Love the developing skyline of a growing Meg not quite big yet. The poster is awesome minus any shitey photoshoppery and lens flares. Its just pure noir lighting and looks amazing.  One thing ... DREDD holding gun with his left hand in the poster.  He is expert enough to shoot with both with equal accuracy but l thought his firing arm was right handed?

Judges are trained to be ambidextrous.

That and the other side is a bit bland in comparison..

Nope. That's the real deal.. It's also not 2K resolution.

It's all about context.. On their own in brutal daylight, they look awful.. When properly shot and composed.. You get the above mentioned image.. Told you so :p
