JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[Keef Monkey]

Much as I like big orchestral scores, reckon Dredd would be better with something a bit electronic/industrial tinged, but still really classy. I'm thinking scores like Solaris or Sunshine, really great sci-fi scores those, and also way cheaper to do.

I'd vote for Clint Mansell myself, the guy's incredibly versatile, has been responsible for some great scores and is tech-savvy so should do something suitably sci-fi. Failing that they can do worse than getting Underworld to do something along the lines of their Sunshine score.

Vangelis or Trent Reznor

A bit of Cyber Punk by Prodigy would be nice. Prodigy's frenetic music used when the city block goes up! All citizens bailing out of the exploding block fire bug style, using Boing, gliders and shit to escape.

Hmm. I think you could score a big chunk of the film using Cubanate's genre-defining industrial album, Cyberia. Well, I'd like to see it, even if no-else would!

No industrial!

It's so overused in SF films. There has to be a scene where "scary" looking punks all wearing black leather with studs through their eyelids pogo around menacingly to some crap industrial music. Apparently, it's "futuristic". Bloody cliched more like.

If I had my way it would be a sparing amount of Warp stuff but mainly orchestral please.

Please, guys, not all of us have read the script or want to.  In fact, this is the last time I look at this thread - I don't want to know any more  Just don't spoil it anywhere else on the board either.

For the OST, another vote for Clint Mansell. The guy's a genius. Crazy to think that he was once one of the shouty blokes in PWEI.

Ah, but I don't necessarily mean disco beats and sampled guitars, I just mean electronic stuff with a slightly industrial soundset, something vaguely mechanical and techy sounding. I'm not talking Rammstein here.

Like James says, Vangelis or Reznor would be nice if Mansell's busy. I see Reznor's scored David Fincher's upcoming movie which should be interesting.

Yes I like the way you're thinking Keef. The last thing I want is another forgettable action/super hero soundtrack that doesn't convey any atmosphere or feeling. I like the Vangelis Blade Runner, which was very inventive and and atmospheric. Let's hope the film makers don't have the music just as an after thought.

Because his son turned down the SCRIPT, I think David Bowie should provide the soundtrack.

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

Those are extremely impractical. If you are going to carry something into combat, it's always best to have it close and tight to the body.
For instance when doing some of my past jobs I would wear the following.
Side arm in holster strapped to waist and leg, velcro and stud release(It doesn't wobble when running about, come loose or make a noise).
Spare mags (for side arm), velcroed to both legs (Again, tight to the body and in the best position for ease of use, won't make a noise or come loose).
I won't go into the waist and upper body stuff.

Let's just say that those cargo pockets might look useful but they are not designed for combat, ease of use, etc... Good for round camp or for putting a map on on an orienteering comp. Let's stick with the leathers and all his ancillary kit in his belt pouches.

Totally f-in agree - NO F****** spoilers!!!

On another note - what will the film be called? Will it just be called Judge Dredd? Or will it be Judge Dredd: ________  just to distance itself from the '95 movie?

If this would have been an Origin film I would have gone with just DREDD, but sense This movie isn't a origin tale I figure they will just call it Judge Dredd.
