SharkBait said:I too liked the Stallone version, even if he wore the helmet about 15 minutes max. Still felt , to me , like a Dredd film. Going to see this one too. It's shame they don't show more. All pictures I've seen here and on magazines, are taken from basement. I hope the whole movie doesn't revolve around basements. Would look too cheap and fan film like. Like the look of Dredd and Anderson.
SharkBait said:@haserot ; Dredd has looked a bit different from comic to comic. Depending on who's drawing, Dredd could be a guy with a small chin and be a bit leaner, and in some comics he'd be like Stallone with a big ole chin pointing out under the helmet.
SharkBait said:Where's that from? I mean where did you find that one?
If it's from the new movie, then goddangit! That looks like the Dredd I know. Fascism at it's best. (meaning in the comics... other way fascism is a no no)

Having had reservations about the images up till now, I'm very happy to see that clip. It's cool - the look, the background, the overall feel. Certainly restored some faith in the film. I've read the leaked screenplay and it's a tad dimensional, not much depth and no satire, but the action scenes read well.
On the subject of fascism, the screenplay establishes the fact early on that Mega-City 1 is a fascist state and the Judges have absolute control. You know straight away that the Judges are the law and Dredd enforces it with iron discipline. However, it's very much an action screenplay in the traditional sense. This isn't a V for Vendetta or 1984 type Judge Dredd storyline. It's basically Dredd vs perps in a huge block.
Dredd 2012 has the potential to be a very strong, hard action film. I think the teaser trailer could be within a month or so. Let's hope it rocks!

Deadline said:Of today’s Dredd screening, IM Global’s Stuart Ford says, “The reaction was great. It was as packed as any screening I’ve seen in Cannes. There were people sitting on the floor in the front and the back of the room.” (And that was after the air-conditioning had gone on the blink just ahead of the movie; Ford says there were no walkouts, “even though it was about a hundred degrees.”) Dredd, directed by Pete Travis, stars Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey. It’s a project that would also normally have been set up at a studio, but instead, Reliance Big Entertainment and IM Global financed DNA Films’ $40M adaptation of the UK comic created by John Wagner and illustrated by Carlos Ezquerra. Today’s screening allowed “people who bought it for a lot of money 18 months ago” to get a look at what Ford says is “an edgy, cool film with a rocking soundtrack.” Compared to other superhero pictures coming down the pike, Ford says it “appears very fresh and distinctive. It’s Dirty Harry meets District 9.” Lionsgate is releasing in the U.S. on September 21 and there are two territories remaining that Ford expects to close possibly “before the evening is out.”
Commander_Skyfall said:I'm prepared to give it a go (as a massive Dredd fan, I grew up with 200AD), but I just can't see Urban in this role, he's not big enough for one thing, and I'm really not sure about the voice, maybe it would be easier if I'd never seen him in anything else, but like I said, I'll certainly go and see it before passing judgement..... See what I did there.. ;-)
