You'll have to point me to what exactly I said - I'm not prepared to trawl through the whole threads trying to find it...

You said they looked like Potman Pat wagons ( ), hoped they would be background/filler vehicles and that the real meatier futuristic vehicles would be up front.

It was apparent to anyone who wasn't deluding themselves and clinging on to a faint hope that there'd be something more futuristic...

The catch wagons were all contemporary, why on earth would they have anything marginally more high-tech elsewhere? Doesn't matter if they were background vehicles or not, they've still got to convincingly sit in the same world as the rest.

The ambulance is more retro, so I can't imagine why people are that surprised that the criminals are driving an old piece of crap as well...

Hold on, (thats twice I've had to say that today) Steve.The majority of the film is set INDOORS.Some ,including YOU posted they hoped they would just be background/filler vehicles with more meatier SFX vehicles up front.Michael himself said to wait as VFX effects needed to be added yet.So I am not 'deluded' thank you, I did fear the worst but hoped for the best.

As I said ,it's important that it bears a strong enough relationship to Dredds world or Dredd just becomes a generic future cop.Lets hope that doesnt happen.

This has been an apparent feature since the get-go.

Erm No it hasnt.When the other vehicles were critisised on here there were innumerable posts citing that they may just be background vehicles, SFX had to be added etc etc and to just wait.Only now are we getting a better picture.
It can still be a great film and as I said I will see it many times regardless.Nevertheless, I still dearly wish it is recognisable (beyond the uniforms) as Dredds world, but the distinct lack of future tech is currently pointing away from that.

Er... how long was that "van chase" footage? Few secs? And some of gives your views of the film based on the unfinished FX footage! Oh take a chill pill.

There no Official yet.

Hold on a second there Goaty - it's an old van being chased, a sentence that speaks for itself however long or short said chase may be.
Losing  too much future tech,  would be very disapppointing.

Got to say the clip with the 'van chase' was immensely disappointing.Having already seen photos of the Justice Dept vehicles and the Lawmaster, I did fear the worse, but adding this old van to the mix too has me worried.This is not 1984, this is meant to be Dredd, we are supposed to see at least some high-tech stuff ,but it feels very lacking at the moment.How can a battered old van out run a Lawmaster, as we know it, unless the terms have changed drastically.
I cant remember the number of sci-fi films I've seen where the vehicles used really add substance and excitement to the film.The vehicles shown so far sadly leave me stone cold.
I also agree with Radiator, hoping to see some glimpses of a high-tech city, for that is looking unlikely as things currently stand.
The uniforms great, cast great, lot of top people on the project and I will see the finished product at least ten times whether it is good or not in the hope of another being made -BUT I really hope there is enough of Dredds world there for it to be worth it.

This is all so weird - really curious to know where these photos and the gif came from. The stills seemed pretty official-looking, but the gif? Very strange indeed...

Seconded -exactly what I am thinking...Curiouser and Curiouser.

"Animated gif of some masked white folk shooting a black dude in the head sends Internet into meltdown. More news at one."

That's unexpected- and as has been the case with all the promo/ leaked gubbins so far, massively contradictory. Judge on the left- hat looks great! Judge in the middle- huge inflata-hat!

SBT

Reminds me of a scene in the film The Man Who Would Be King, with the natives playing polo using enemys head as the ball after a battle..Big head =Big ball.

So, big Judge head= big judge helmet,I dont see a problem.

Saw the article yesterday in SFX on collectors featuring our very own forum member Cellar of Dredd.Fantastic collection , he's got the lot,the best bit being perhaps the sign from the Minty production.Didn't get too good a look at the cliff robinson personal artwork you commisioned (would be good if you scanned that in for us to have a peek- it looked great).

Anyway Cellar -Kudos, more power to you for flying the 2000ad flag so high.

  ....by your command... ....must go, must vote .....

Found thought bubble online -LOT of 2000ad creators there last year.Pity I missed it, wasnt even aware of it.

From the north eh? Erhem, ..up the Reds.
Anyhow...
If you are based in Liverpool ,Prestatyn isn't too bad to get to, for most others though it's a long way.
Wouldnt know where to start regarding puttting anything on myself, the main point would be getting a lot of the creative team together which would be no mean feat.
I just noticed in the latest 2000ad editors note that this year will see 2000ad events around the UK
#What are these?Which are in the north?
#What is thoughtbubble and Brum -no idea what you mean.

many thanks

This is definately a good idea -worth a trial at the very least.Nothing to lose really small change of name and format and jobs a good one.


PS Been reading since Prog 1 -when on earth was this Bonjo story , never heard of it (I must have erased it from memory)

Is it my imagination or does Dante's mother's eyepatch switch from eye to eye occasionally?

Yeah, your right.Prog 2012 on over her right eye , last few progs left eye.At least no-one has made the mistake of putting patches over both eyes ,now that would be embarassing   

'Just had one'?????????????
That was WALES!!!
Is everything north of Milton Keynes just 'the north' to you southsiders.

Come to the North West.

Have you EVER had a 2000ad comic convention in the north west?

35 years is a long time to wait.I'm sure you'll get a great reception.
