JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[RJMooreII]

Go with Brian Bollands vision of Dredd and uniform and your there. No need to redesign this will cost $$$$'s.   

Well, I'd make the shoulder pad a bit smaller and have the eagle's beak arc down to the rest of the other shoulder pad. But Bolland's design does seem to be pretty workable as a movie outfit.

Agree with Gumpty on the Minty cozzies,just get the leather jumpsuits to fit better and you've cracked it.

I could stand losing the green bits, or at least toning down the shade to the point where it's almost black but the yellow shoulder pads should stay. And the helmet highlights too of course.

Yellow shoulder pads, are you sure?

No matter how good something looks on the page -even Bolland's uniform- the reality is a lot different. The uniform has to fit a variety of body shapes, not what just looks good on who plays Dredd and Anderson.


The basic Ezquerra design is always the best to start with and work from there. If olive green pads don't really work, and they probably don't, change them. The uniform must be just that, "uniform", it must adhere to a the chosen design style or cut of line that is reflected in the helmet, the badge and any metal on the uniform, and the pads etc. Everthing on the uniform must conform to the style that is chosen, something that is not always considered in the comic, though Jock certainly does.

You get rid of the yellow shoulder pads and it's just a space Nazi outfit.

We should be careful. We are a finite number of posts away from "He should take his helmet off, so the paying public can see Urban's face, or they won't come."

It's going to bug me if they take the helmet off and show him. It's one thing if they take it off and keep him shadowed/censored, but there's just no sense in showing Dredd's face. One of the major goofs of the '95 movie.

Not neccessarily, they could contrive it so that the eagle shoulder pads are only worn by higher ranking Judges, such as Dredd, whilst the other grunts just have the shoulder armour on both shoulders.

I think the important thing with the uniform is that they are distinctive, and not just generic future armour that, minus the Judge motifs, could appear in any sci-fi movie. Jock's concept art looks promising mind

I never mentioned the eagle, the helmet and every other part must be capable of being worn by all street Judges, singling out the eagle or any other part of the uniform is not the issue. There's no reason why all Judges can't have an eagle, the only reason they didn't all have eagles in the '95 film was because they didn't have the money to make 'em.

and Dredd would look like Big Bird. No prop uniforms that have been made -even in Minty- ever had yellow shoulder pads. They'd look like marigolds on his shoulders. It would also be like wearing hi-viz at night.

Well, I always figured it was just bronze-gold metal. Not bright yellow.

It pays to say what you mean, yellow ain't exactly gold and Dredd did have yellow elbow and shoulder pads as Bolland coloured them.






You could also have the pads as a dark-tan, flexible, matte material with a gold/silver Eagle head piece.

Man, if you have to suffer police brutality, why can't it be at the hands of nutjobs in brightly colored outfits with fixed-visor helmets? At least you could bite the curb laughing.

But, yes, that's one of my fav. Bolland pieces. But, like I said, I figured it was just 4-color stand-in for bronze-gold metal.

I never understood why Bolland (as great as he is) coloured the Elbow pads ''Yellowish'' they are meant to be green.

[Spaceghost]

it was me who made the 'yellow shoulder pads' comment originally. I was just trying to distinguish between a general yellow colour and the stupid golden jewellery sported by Stallone.

[vzzbux]

I trust the costume designers to get this one right. I think will look at the cod piece debarcle and just get it right.
