JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[Dreddzilla]

Who would you like to score the soundtrack for the new film?
Believe it or not, but I wouldn't mind Alan Silvestri coming back doing the music.
I actually liked his ''Mega-city suite'' & ''DREDD'' theme.

Agreed.
Silvestri's score was one of the only good things in that film.

They should base the movie uniform on the classic 'Luna-City' period Dredd - cape, Sheriff's badge, round helmet etc. 

As for the soundtrack, I don't think an orchestral score would suit the tone of what they're going for. Ideally they should get John Murphy, the composer of 28 Days Later/Sunshine to do it.

Failing that, enlist Warp records to put together a compilation soundtrack of moody electronica and mental beats.

Don't make the helmets too round. It'll be like watching Judge Spaceballs !

  I'd personally wouldn't mind seeing Dredd with a cape, atleast partly.

  For the soundtrack, I say Tyler Bates(300, Watchmen), or Graeme Revell(Sin City, Planet Terror).

[Judge Olde]

How about rad capes?

[PsychoGoatee]

Soundtracks eh? Sounds good, let's see...

Clint Mansell would be a good choice for the musical score. He did Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Smokin' Aces, and Karl Urban's own Doom.

If they went with two composers for contrasting styles, like the recent Batman movies, I'd also throw Angelo Badalamenti in there.

Is there supposed to be a picture?  
Nothings coming up except a ''fortunecity'' logo.

Works fine when I click it. Anyway, what I was trying to link to was this: Dredd End

Silvestri's score wasn't so bad if you take a listen to it but the way it was used in the film was lame. I didnt really like the parts that sounded (Bah -BaH _BAAH!} like SU- PAH _MAAN!  That really turned me off when watchin it in the cinema - pretty cringe worthy. And those are the parts of the score that were most prominent.

Don't know about you but when I think Judge Dredd I sure as hell don't wanna be reminded of Superman or any other of those cheesy Superheroes.

I'm more inclined to go for a percussive experimental or just out of the ordinary soundtrack for the new Dredd. When I was a kid back in the 80's reading 2000ad and watching TV and Movies it was stuff like this that was most memorable:

More Terminatoresque

Or this :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG7HRYXssMM&feature=channel  ( Equalizer Theme)

Something like the Aliens score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVuo0lM4qio  or Predator is much more fitting for Dredd than some generic superhero theme. Think more Donnie Darko than BatMan :    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2-QR93EywM
Yes Slow but , it has Atmosphere!

Even the Trailer music that they didn't use in the Stallone film would be more fitting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVP54byTjDE

To each their own. Personally, I think the Aliens score is almost as bombastic as the Judge Dredd score, and the Dredd score doesn't really sound much like Superman to me.

I do think a more gritty and less bombastic score would be good, but I did really like Alan Silvestri's score.

[CYCLOPZ]

Yeah Aliens is pretty Bombastic in places but it was fitting for what was happening onscreen, I didn't get that sense with the old Judge Dredd score. To be honest as movie scores go I much prefer the one for the original 1979 Alien.

Anyway I just hope thy don't take it the generic superhero route and do something that can stand up against something like the original terminator and stuff like that.

What about something like ROBOCOP? Best theme song ever!

Personally I'm hoping we see something like this.



I like how there are pouches on the pants, it kinda reminds me a little of Boba Fett.

Basil Poledouris' score for robocop was brilliant, sadly he past away not so long ago. Jerry Goldsmith would of been a natural choice, but he's no longer with us either!

I'd go for Alan Silvestri or maybe James Horner-if he can reproduce the style of his better 80's and 90's scores.
