Jeez what a mess -tells you nothing. Awful

The way Izaaks decided to 'betray' his master by freeing Dredd to kill him was a poinant and interesting way to end the epic that was the Apocalypse War.
Now things have kind of turned full circle and Dredd's city is devastated I would be curious to see him and Dredd meet.

Nice pic Judge Jack ,great art and brilliantly written.

I wish to report a thread hijacking !

Well worth filling in those gaps Jack-some top progs back then.

No he hasn't. I'd love to see him return.

PS What the fuck is he watching on the screeen 

Just noticed what Roffman's reading material is 'Your new Spincter and you' 

God I love 2000AD

War Marshall 'Mad Dog' Kazans lieutenant was an interesting character.In the aftermath of DoC it would be intriguing to see him and Dredd together 'sharing' their collective guilt after all this time, in some appropriate way (not both on the couch of course but their differing perspectives.

Just a thought.

WOW!!What more can I add  but that was soooooo coool 

Congradulations to ALL involved never seen anything quite like it -Kudos.

Ron Smith's the tits. Look at his artwork for Shanty Town, The Hotdog Run and Graveyard Shift. As definitive a version of Dredd as anything Bolland, McMahon or Ezquerra brought to the table.

Seconded.Although I did very much appreciate him at the time.Bought the Daily Star many times over just for his strip (well you wouldn't buy it for the news would you  ) and filled scrap books with them.

For the great body of work he produced and his pure inventiveness and sense of fun,Ron Smith easily makes it into my top 5 Dredd artists of all time.So yes, he is an under-rated artist to me.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?

I'm as gutted as the rest of you that Dredd underperformed at the box office - it was a cracking film and it's not only us that think so the majority of reviews back this up. 

However it was a long shot this being a box office success

So we can all blame lack of publicity pics, lack of marketing etc but we should we be glad we got such an unapologetic badass movie. 

Stranger things have happened though and this could over time become a huge hit on DVD/BLU-Ray and become a cult movie that demands a sequel - lets keep our fingers crossed folks.

Not hindsight, it was debated at length on here for many many months before the film was released.

Without question we are all grateful for the film we have and to those who made it.A sequel was always a long shot, given the figures it needed to reach -that it didn't even come close was due to some poor marketing decisions.

???Nobodys said that.As part of a wider and longer campaign ,more material (including photos but not just photos), esp short clips and teaser trailers, should have been used.

A longer marketing campaign wouldn't have made much difference. A wider one would have been more than the film's budget.

I'm going to have to set a Yoda quote on you 'Always with you it can not be done'   

RC -Obviously not just a couple of photos    for petes sake.

Other properties have been successfully remade so audiences are ,in fact, open to it.However, you need to convince them that it is radically different than what came before.They didn't show the general public that it was different.

When the end product is sound and is still beaten by the likes of Howard the Duck and The Spirit in the historic box office charts then you have to point to the marketing (or rather the lack of it).

That may be the case, but it is absurd to say that releasing one picture would have made a $50mil + difference to the box office.

Dredd being released in a year of successful comic book adaptations was a positive not a negative.Dredd should have rode on their tails ala 'heres another great adaptation'.With short teasers before showing Dredd a the 'dessert' after the main courses so to speak.

The 'buzz' with Joe public to see it wasn't remotely there.Fine product, little take up =poor marketing.We've going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
