JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[weehawk]

Variety Lionsgate will distribute DREDD in the US.

The announcement was jointly made Tuesday by Lionsgate co-chief operating officer and motion picture group prexy Joe Drake and Ford, founder and CEO of IM Global. Deal, announced on the eve of the American Film Market, has been in the works for several weeks.

That means we'll probably see a "Dredd" trailer attached to Lionsgate's release of "Conan" on August 2011.

Anyone else notice SPAZTIC PRODUCTIONS at the end of the composers reel? With a name like SPAZ, you'd have to be really crap, or so brilliant at what you do that it doesn't really matter what you call yourself.

does it really start filming next week ? cor!

Soon see the uniform/bike/meg stuff...

Parts of the city may (probably will from what I've learned) look a lot like the walkways around the Cape Town Civic Centre which you can have a drive around on Googlemaps.

Bear in mind they'll probably dress the immediate area around the action and replace the surroundings with CGI mattes. So nothing can be learned from this other than they want to film exterior utilitarian concrete pedestrian stairways, bridges and walkways!

Look like the wide open spaces between blocks,i can almost see the CGI backgrounds and set dressings

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

That looks like one of the locations from A Clockwork Orange

That's not the actual john Wagner who posted that. He's just the page owner who goes by that name. The real John has his own page:

This time around, Karl Urban (you may know him as Bones from the new STAR TREK) will take on the title role, and Olivia Thirlby (Ellen Page's sardonic friend in JUNO) as his trainee/love interest.

"Love interest?"

That kiss with Hershey in the Stallone movie has a lot to answer for and is still casting its ugly shadow over people's expectations of the new film. I suspect that for people who are only familiar with Dredd through the previous movie, "love interest" is exactly what they'll expect when they see Dredd with a new female partner on screen.

Nah, pretty sure it is the real John Wagner. The fan page used to be moderated by someone else, but Wagner himself does it now.

I think the Hollywood News are ass-uming that there will be a love interest in this film but the makers of the film might decide that there has to be a love interest so the film has a broader appeal or some stupid crap like that

Yes Most Americans always refer to that Stallone movie when talking about  Judge Dredd and its a shame. Ive tried to spread the word on this forum but it seems very hard for most of them to understand.

The one impression that I get, which is consistent with most that say they've read the comic is that they may have glanced at one episode and the humour just went over their head.

John Wagner on the movie uniform (via facebook):

(The filmmaker's) uniform was more paramilitary in style. I urged them to move it back towards the uniform we know and I think they took that on board, but I haven't seen the final version.

Hmmm.
