JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[SmallBlueThing]

I saw the stallone twice at the cinema for my sins, so I'll probably catch it in 2D and 3D.

I was going to mention wanting a return the 70s and lack of internet, but then I remembered I read the Marvel Star Wars adaptation before I saw the film as a kid, so even then I was spoiling things for myself...

Live and don't learn

SPOILERS BELOW

I saw the Stallone Dredd f i v e times at the cinema, so I win! Or actually, I massively lose.

And re spoilers, I habitually seek out 'making of's of films I'm interested in, comics-adaptations, novlisations, etc, before the movie. Always have done. And so have we all! And I stand by what I said earlier, that the structure and plot of the existing 'Peach Trees' script is not of the type that 'spoilers' are relevent.

[spoiler]It's a linear script, a series of incidents. There's no twisty turniness, no plot-reversals, and nothing happens like you wouldn't expect. It's entertaining, but that's about it. And the Anderson nude scene won't make final cut, betcha.[/spoiler]

Can someone tell me where I can find the script?
I'd like to review it myself.

The Anderson [spoiler]naked scene was a bit of a surprise to me ! When I first heard of it, I thought someone was kidding, but nope. It's in the script. I reckon it'll make the final cut but it will be filmed tastefully. So we don't get to see her... well, y'know. Mind you, its not actually her, but some fellas fantasy. I did like the whole she's really behind him thing. Its great to have a scene in someone's mind. Cool stuff![/spoiler]

Man, I hope they pick the right woman to be Anderson. We got a pretty good Dredd, I just hope they put as much thought into Cass.

I have a friend who makes a big deal of putting his hands over his ears and complaining when the trailers are on in the cinema because he doesn't want films spoilt. Makes him look a complete twat.

"Oh fuck off, it's a FILM! GROW UP! If you don't want to know anything about a certain film, don't go on the fucking Internet, to a website devoted to said film and peruse threads pertaining to said film!"

No, I don't think so.
What if I, for example, posted the ending of the latest Strontium Dog series on the boards? Would 'Fuck off and grow up, it's only a comic' be a suitable reasonsing for me doing this?
Of course it wouldn't. Me doing it would be stupid, selfish and rude, especially when there was a facility (spoiler tags) that I could employ so prevent those who didn't want to know from knowing.

That said- I think Peter complaining about you mentioning the title of the script is a wee bit OTT...

I suspect that was entirely his point

Watched Repo Men last night (crap movie that i gave up on due to the torture porn), but it gave me hope for Dredd.

There were quite a few scenes of a huge Blade Runner-esque metropolis with what was probably a similar budget to our lawman's, and it did look good.

Bit more originality in the design and you've got a passable Mega City. Maybe even as good as the opening shots of that other movie...

[CraveNoir]

I haven't seen any spoilers beyond the first act anywhere on the net, including this thread, and I wonder if the big so-called spoiler was this post...

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

...which wasn't a spoiler at all.

Also the widely leaked script is from much earlier in the year. Once a budget and director were in place things will have changed, and will continue to do so.

Richmond, for one, spoiler tags dont work if you access the site through a pho e as i do. So i did have the end of this weeks stront 'spoiled' by the thread. But thats my fault, and im certainly not going to bitch about it. Besides, spoliling the comic is one thing- its the original text. The dredd movie is an adaptation, of no more importance to me than that fairground ride. Its nice to have, but hardly essential.

Fair enough, but it is important to other people.

Has anyone else heard about Karl Urban's involvement as Dredd?
on his IMDb profile he is attached to the Dredd production... I don't do IMDb Pro so I can't see any more details of the preliminary cast...

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS NEWS BECAUSE I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO READ ALL THE PAGES SINCE I LAST DROPPED INTO THIS THREAD!!

It's been mentioned once or twice. Not sure if he is 100% confirmed as Dredd but he appears to be 99% certain.

[Kev Levell]

Thanks James! I've just been to Cravenoir's top notch Dredd movie info site, and Karl Urban looks pretty well confirmed.

[dracula1]

We are all chompin' at the bit here folks! Rehashing news on old news, . . . come on Mr. Wagner and co. a few more reveals to quell our curiosity please. Whose the actress playing Anderson for example!!!

[CYCLOPZ]

Who do you think will play Ma Ma?

I'm thinking Sigourney Weaver [spoiler]in a fat suit[/spoiler]
she was in Pete Travis' Vantage point.
