    I've been critical of the uniform but this new image looks wonderful. And Karl Urban really looks the part!

    That's the best image I've seen. :) If the film matches up to that look it could be interesting. :) I just hope the storyline - sort of Die Hard ish - is not too generic.

    This should never have been re-done.

    Re-done? Like the Stallone movie was any good.

    Nah, I'm not that guy but I did date Stone's sister, Pebble Jones.

    It has the same plot as The Raid, and that didn't have much of plot.

    Yes, the plots of Dredd and The Raid are identical. Both plots involve the hero trapped in a tower block, going up various levels in order to beat the main bad guy. As a fan of 2000AD, been reading it for decades, it's very disappointing to know the new, so called 'faithful' Judge Dredd film has a plot that's the same as a foreign action film and also has elements very similar to Die Hard. Was that the best Alex Garland, the screenwriter of Dredd, could come up with? He had hundreds of Judge Dredd stories to be inspired by and he comes up with Die Hard/The Raid! :rolleyes: The guy has zero imagination. Just think what John Wagner - the creator/writer of Judge Dredd - could have delivered!

    Anyway, the trailer might look cool so I'll try to keep positive-ish. :)

    Well there is no Dredd trailer attached to the US screenings of Prometheus. The guy who claimed it - some person on IMDB - has apologized.

    "Sorry guys. I really am.

    The person who relayed the information to me had in fact seen a cut of the trailer, and large parts of the movie to boot, and the intention at the time was indeed to attach the trailer to Prometheus. What happened since I do not know.

    As much as I'd like to tell you who told me and thus why I was so sure, I can't. If I even hint at it, it will take anyone in the know browsing this mere minutes to find out who this might be, and end that persons career. I'm not having that, so it's all on me.

    Sorry again. If I do get another heads up or advance notice or something, I'll keep it to myself. "


    Yes, please do keep it to yourself. :rolleyes: I was really looking forward to seeing the trailer and now it's not happening. I'm pretty sure Dredd is a stinker - why else keep delaying the trailer and no poster and no official film site? Still, it might be a fun to watch 'stinker'. :D

    This, in this day and age, is very unusual is it not ?

    As soon as I saw Stone_Jone's post I thought that Floopy had been banned and come back with another name, the tone in the obsessive Dredd posts was identical as was the desire to put up their home-made images.

    Then Floopy posted again and I douted my intuition :D

    2000Ad's John Wagner, the creator/writer of Judge Dredd post it on his Facebook today;

    I went up to London yesterday to see the completed Dredd film. I've had reservations about certain aspects of it, and made them plain to the team at DNA. All but one of them - a little quibble at the beginning - have been addressed. And what a lot they've added. Music is on the button. SFX are excellent. Filming is impressive. I've not seen a modern 3-D movie before but I like it. I found myself reaching out trying to touch things that were dancing before my eyes. Karl is a great Dredd and Olivia gets Anderson completely. This is Dredd as it should be done - true to character, visceral, unrelentingly violent (but not off-puttingly so). It will open, I believe, sometime in September. No doubt you'll let me know what you think when you've seen it, but this has my recommendation.


    It will be out in September!

    Wowzers, that's some endorsement. Kinda like Alan Moorse giving The Watchmen movie the bigthumbyup. (ish)

    The Stallone version visually was spot on, but that was about it

    This is the thing though for me, what little we have seen does look good. Yet we have seen so little that you just wonder if the makers have that much faith in there product. We dont want to see trailers that spoil everything to the nth degree (yes Prometheus I am looking at you) but for a film that it our 'soon' to have so little out there is just unusual.

    That doesn't look like Mega-City 1 to me. That looks like a normal city, with a few slightly odd shaped office blocks in it.

    Mega City should be densly packed, massive 100+ storey buildings with walkways all over the place. There's far too much sky in that picture for my liking.

    Hope so. I'm starting to suspect that this film hasn't actually been made.

    Yes, it's official, trailer is released this Thursday. Should be on Youtube and Itunes not long after that other site has the exclusive.

    Well this is very exciting news. I hope it looks okay. I have mixed feelings about this film but if the trailer looks good I'll be happy to say so and promote it around the internet. :)
