>At his panel at Denver Comic Con, when asked a rather snidely worded question about if he would do a sequel to ‘Dredd’ even if it was poorly written just for the money, Karl Urban revealed some very interesting information for fans.
>Well, after he quipped that he did need a new house, he revealed the information:
>Yes. ‘Dredd 2′ is in development.
>You heard that right. Or at least, they are developing the story for it. After that, they are determining the right platform, be it Netflix, Amazon, a TV Series, or another movie.
>‘Dredd’ was a movie made in 2012 starring Urban about a character who acts as judge, jury and executioner in a future dystopian megacity. It also features Lena Headey (Cersei, ‘Game of Thrones) as the antagonist, a drug lord named Ma-Ma. It is currently rated “fresh” on rotten tomatoes.
>The issue is, Urban explained, is that there had been no awareness for ‘Dredd‘ when it came out. Making a sequel to the film is an uphill battle because the movie did not do great at the box office, so a sequel was sort of written off. However, once people knew about it, the DVD sales went through the roof which proved there was an audience for it. It just had to be reached.
>Urban added that there is an interest from established creatives and that he would do the sequel if he felt it had depth and substance.

>>83990072
>Yes. ‘Dredd 2′ is in development.
Fucking kill me.
The shittiest adaptation of Judge Dredd. WHY?
Why make a shitty sequel to what was already a shitty fucking movie?
>>83990219
>>83990072
>The issue is, Urban explained, is that there had been no awareness for ‘Dredd‘ when it came out.
THAT'S A FUCKING LIE.
The issue is that the fucks who made it DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY WERE DOING.
>>83990072
I don't know if you're late or what, but several sources including Urban have commented that all of this was blown wildly out of proportion. Dredd 2 is not currently in development.
>>83990259
Thank fucking god.
THANK YOU.
Christ.
>>83990219
>>83990251
What was wrong with it?
>>83990219
Ugh! inorite? Why not just make another marvel movie instead!
He literally tweeted today that a sequel has made no progress in development.
>>83990298
Urban is a terrible casting decision. He can't act and he doesn't have the build for the character. Mega City was just LA with a fucking CGI wall and CGI Blocks. Citizens where dressed in modern clothing and fucking hoodies. Cars with fucking wheels. Its like nobody fucking read the comic. Dredd breaking the law by passing Anderson after she failed the test. No satire in the movie WHATSOEVER. Slow motion shoehorned into the plot so that they could over use it. FUCKING HOCKEYPADS.
>>83990219
Go wash your mouth out, having taste that shit is not allowed
>>83990385
And then the shit head of a director has the nerve to say he wants the Dark Judges in a sequel.
Fucking how? You made your shitty movie so grounded in a more realistic setting that fucking demons and ghost would completely shift the tone!
The whole fucking thing was a mess of people just desperately trying to make a quick buck off a dusty franchise.
>>83990419
Eat shit, fuck head.
>>83990298
You had the outlandish uniforms and motorcycles, set against a perfectly plain and non-stylized backdrop of urban decay. It's like the Judges are escapees from an entirely different and more lively movie.
They made a comic book movie as non-comic book as anything that's ever been adapted. And when you drain all the comic book out of Judge Dredd, you just have "Le Angry Cop Movie #2534" now with silly costume.
You either make Dredd full fabulous or you just don't make it. No mutants, no cyborgs, no thanks.
It deservedly lost money.
>>83990385
>Dredd breaking the law by passing Anderson after she failed the test.
Dredd has broken the law numerous times throughout the comic though.
>>83990385
>Dredd breaking the law by passing Anderson after she failed the test.
She didnt fail though. Its down to his discressions if she passes or fails. He passed her on merit.
>>83990477
Yes, but this is the first fucking movie in what they wanted to be a series!
One of the core themes of Judge Dredd is that he obeys the fucking law.
If you start a story with him breaking the law you are telling the audience that he doesn't really give a shit.
Instances of Dredd breaking the law in the comics are spread far apart from each other YEARS apart in terms of publication.
Dredd was a pretty poor adaptation but a remarkably serviceable action film. The slow motion got really fucking old real fast though. And the justification for the female lead not wearing a helmet was paper thin. Doesn't really deserve a sequel, but rarely does that matter.
>>83990515
>She didnt fail though. Its down to his discressions if she passes or fails.
No it is not.
Losing your weapon is an automatic failure.
>>83990459
5th Element is a better film than Dredd on every conceivable level.
>>83990385
He didn't show his face so by defult it's the best adaptation. Also everyone (including stallone) aside from the Judge Dredd director wanted it to be a action / comedy pg 13 so at least urban wasn't actively trying to take to a shit on judge dredd.
>>83990541
YES! A million times yes.
>>83990459
>No mutants
Someone wasn't paying attention.
>>83990524
Anderson never wears a helmet in the actual comics m8
>>83990524
>The slow motion got really fucking old real fast though
The slow motion was artistically the best part of the film in how they used it to tell a story.
>>83990219
Who let /tv/ in here?
>>83990539
Which he can overide if he wants. He could even easily write it off as an offensive maneuvre.
>>83990539
>No it is not.
>Losing your weapon is an automatic failure.
She was not suppose to be a candidate. The fact is the government WANT her to pass, and told him so. They just need him to give the okay to officially let her through. Thus regulated failure doesn't matter here; Dredd was outright informed that his personal judgement and more importantly, approval, is what is being sought here. The regulations have already been wavered, and not his concern. His only job is to determine if she would make a good Judge.
>suddenly le contrarian memester shitting on based dredd 3d threads
>>83990739
He's also conveniently ignoring they ignored the rules for her to get that far in the first place as she didnt even technically pass the exams to get to that point.
The law is bent by the judges all the time. They are fucking faschists essentially.
>>83990789
I've been shitting on the movie since it came out faggot.
In fact, the day it came out on DVD and Bluray I went to walmart and bought these.
>>83990903
>this level of autism
But whatever fag, just don't choke on your own saliva when you sleep tonight.
>>83990903
>i unironically liked Stallone Dredd
What was peoples problem with it OTHER than the fucking helmet thing? Stallones stated he wanted to keep it on but executives refused.
It was comic booky, adapted tons of characters well, had am ABC crossover robot, attempted to do the big shoulder pads justice. Some amazing lines and good action.
>>83990219
"Hey look at me! I'm a hipster and I hate everything!"
Why are all Judge Dredd fans pretentious edgelords who talk like retarded twelve year olds?
>>83991000
It also had this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6cyDsuNx_U
>>83990903
It must be illegal being this bloody stupid
>>83990219
I think that this is where I draw the line. This board is beyond redemption.
>>83990903
Great design of everything but if DREDD 2 has the budget of this to get Mega City One perfect with the grittiness of DREDD 3D, I'd be all for it.
Hell, the JUDGE DREDD video game for SNES and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive was better than the 1995 movie.
>>83991112
The back and forth is amazing.
You killed innocent people!
A means to an end.
You started a massacre
I started a revolution!
Its fucking great.
>>83991170
If you cut out every bit of Schneider and put a helmet on Stallone there'd literally be nothing for faggots to complain about.
>>83991214
Doesn't he ride into the sunset with his waifu at the end?
>>83991214
Makes me wish the Blu-ray for '95 JUDGE DREDD had some high quality deleted scenes.
Why not let Richard Jackson direct a Judge Dredd movie?
>>83991268
No he immediately goes back on the street to patrol then drives out and looks over the city. HIS city.
>>83991214
>if you take out all the bad parts the movie would be good
>>83991307
So you admit you faggots only have two issues with the whole fucking movie?
A single character and a single piece of costume.
>>83991271
>Why not let Richard Jackson direct a Judge Dredd movie?
Its not like that'll ever fucking happen thanks to these hacks.
People are going to look at the franchise and say either "Well it flopped so there's no interest" or their going to keep pushing for a shitty sequel.
We could've had a chance at someone else adapting it but the fucking retarded fans have their tongues up Urban's asshole.
>>83991327
No, there are more problems with it then that. I was just pointing out how stupid that line of thinking is. I mean, all bad movies would be good if you replaced the bad parts.
They should make it entirely a Judge Anderson Psi Files movie.
>>83991402
I really wanna see the Necro Judges and the crazy shit bananas things from the awesome storylines the SJWs would have a shitfit over. Cause Judge Dredd would know how to handle them.
20 years in the Cubes.
>>83991402
I want an entire movie of Anderson reading the mind of a hot lesbian inagining having sex with her.
>>83990219
>>83991460
I wonder how the dark judges would look in the movieverse style though.
Full CGI?
>>83990072
12 years of cubes for giving me false hope, perp
>>83991497
>Necro Judges
>Forgot they're really called Dark Judges.
Well shit.
I'd go more Del Toro/The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and do practical as much as possible and CGI enhancements where needed. Forced Perspective too.
Yes!! I love Captain Falcon
>>83990072
I don't understand what dystopian means anymore. The present is dystopian from a certain point of view. So was every point in the past.

Sincerely the first time I read people on /co/ shitting on the movie.
God damn.
I just got a 3D 55" television this week and finally my purchase of Dredd in 3D several years ago has payed off. It was great.
Are there any other great 3D movies?
>>83991635
Native or Converted?
>>83991635
>Are there any other great 3D movies?
Well, based on how you enjoy Dredd 3D you'd probably also enjoy Michael Bay's Transformer movies and James Cameron's Avatar.
>>83991664
Avatar was alright if you try to ignore the fact that the protagonist's solution to screwing over 1000 aliens was to screw over billions of humans and doom both species to extinction. You should feel bad about your Transformers suggestion.
>>83991661
Native. So no Clash of Titans or Avengers please.

I could write a better Dredd movie.
>>83991833
I fucking love the JUDGE DREDD game. Dredd vs Death wasn't bad either.
>>83991968
The fact you are on /co/ disproves that.
>>83992000
Is that a challenge?
>>83992199
If you could write you would be doing that, making money and doing coke off a striper instead.
There is literally nothing wrong with the Dredd movie. It has better action scenes and cinematography then Nolans DKR. I regret choosing DKR over Dredd to watch.
>>83992306
You're delusional if you think that good writing is all it takes to become successful.
>>83992325
>It has better action scenes and cinematography then Nolans DKR.
>>83992354
Well then prove it, write a Dredd script.

>I am Iron Man.
Movies move faster than their comic source material because they don't know how many sequels they will get.
>>83992481
And thanks to that mentality, hopefully, Dredd will get none.
>>83990581
this
>>83992510
It's not like they are screwing it up with Dredd though. Dredd was already established to be a stickler about the law when he said "what's she doing in a uniform". We didn't need a full movie just to establish the way Dredd executes the law.
That said, I really like the Dredd comics where he is just busting creeps. I don't need plot progression. I really don't want to see Megacity 1 blown the fuck up.
>>83990072
>>83990259
Eh, shit.
Maybe we'll see a sequel in like, 4 years.
I just want to see Antje Traue as Judge Hershey and some Dredd crazyness straight outta the comics.
>>83992630
That's why a Netflix series seems like the best course. Obviously there is gonna be an overarching plot, but the beats between that would just be Dredd dispensing the Law.
>>83992685
If Dredd gets a series it need to be animated and it needs to have nothing to do with the shitty movie.
There is no way in fuck that a live action tv series for Judge Dredd would work unless its fucking HBO.
>>83992681
>Maybe we'll see a sequel in like, 4 years.
>Maybe we'll see a sequel made 8 years after the original
>>83992681
This is perfect casting.
>>83992705
An animated Netflix Dredd series? Animation costs a lot of money to be passable. It would no doubt suck ass. I'd prefer a live action series along the lines of Dredd.
>>83992705
Nah, it needs to star Urban and the rest of the cast from the movie. And hopefully the dark judges can just be re-written as corrupt judges that have begun taking over the underworld.
>>83992767
>Animation costs a lot of money to be passable. It would no doubt suck ass.
Have you watched the dog shit live action comic book tv series' that they make these days?
And those don't take place in a futuristic distopia.
Whatever an animated series could do, it'd be 100% guaranteed to be better than whatever live action shit they'd shove out.
>>83992735
Sad thing, isn't it?
I'm still waiting for Hellboy 3.
>>83992759
I know, right?
Since Warner was dumb enough for not casting her as WW, maybe she can do some good as Hershey.
>>83990219
>>83992852
She was great in Pandorum.
I too want HellBoy 3.
>>83990219
>inb4 a (you)
>>83992374
How is this not true? Nolan Bats action since were absolute garbage.
>>83992821
Dredd is different because it doesn't require outlandish characters in costumes using super powers like red tornadoes. The way they pulled Dredd off making it look like a modern city but with a CGI backdrop went well. I'd like to see more of the same. It's a great cost effective trade off. Make a few sets for the Grand Hall of Justice and the Megablocks in various states of decay, take some shots in South Africa, and add some CGI backdrops.
>>83992924
They both had shit action scenes.
But Nolan has the decency of not being a hack and cramming his movies full of slow fucking motion.
>>83992936
>Dredd is different because it doesn't require outlandish characters in costumes
So you haven't read any Judge Dredd.
>The way they pulled Dredd off making it look like a modern city but with a CGI backdrop went well.
No it didn't. Because it looked fucking nothing like Mega City.
>>83992898
I had no idea she was in Pandorum. I guess I was blinded by how bad the movie was.
>>83992374
It did, tho
>>83992963
>implying the athestic of Megacity 1 was even good in the comics
They took artistic licence for the sake of costs and it looked great. Plus their conception makes more sense then the stupid "hey look, it's the future! look at how crazy all these buldings look! can't you tell it's the future?" design. Fight me.
>>83990219
>>83992898
I've never seen Pandorum.
Maybe I'll watch it because of her.
>that Hershey pose
>>83993077

How, in your tiny little mind, do Judges make more sense in a grounded realistic version of Dredd than they do in a distopian future?

I don't even know what you are talking about at this point. Hopefully you aren't an asshole and you got you mistakenly got the wrong in impression from my posts due to a lack of sleep or alcohol.
I'm pretty sure Karl Urban said that if a sequel was ever made, it would most likely be a Prequel.

Just ask him to say it on the next Con.
Won't me the same as seeing him as Dredd while saying that, though.
>>83990539
Dredd has overriden rules and regulations based on his perceptions of what is or is not appropiate in the comics before.
>>83993636
Judge child was my least favorite of the judge dredd stories I read. The judge child was a smug shithead and even judge dredd abandoning him wasn't a good enough punishment.

The whole argument is how the film's differ from the source material. Whether urban was a worse actor than Stallone the fact remains keeping his helmet on was more faithful to the source material

Most of what went on in the story was pretty shit too. The judge child is just the one I remember most clearly

>>83993845
>he doesn't understand that they intended to do sequels from the very start and had every opportunity to develop the character over time
>>83993731
the argument was origonally how accurate it was, and past dredds character the film wasnt anything like source material, it then changed to the 95 version having more accurate sets, design, which went on for a while before u went back to "muh helmet" because you never had a fucking argument in the first place.

This is just to humor you at this point because of how ridiculously overbearing and rude you are being despite how poorly your post supports your idea of what I was saying.

Dates aside, the movie looks a lot more like an actual city expanding to accomadate an absurdly huge population. It looks like an actual city because it is an actual city, just with the largest structures humanity has ever created jutting up in the background thanks to CGI. The comic cared more about communicated that this was a science fiction comic by having absurd buildings with absurd curves. The commie blocks make a lot more sense.

>I dont mean to be rude,
That's appreciated.
The relative realism of the movie adaptation remains true no matter what era of Dredd you compare it to. It looks more like a real city because they actually filmed a real city. The comic was more preoccupied with creating a fantastic city that looked nothing like reality.
What matters is that their take on urban police dynamic remains true to the source comic. Switching out the the fantasy for cost effective realism is at worst neutral IMHO.
>>83994633
oh fuck, i get what you mean now, apologies.
I do prefer the '95 rendition of the city, but then again that had a far more money put into it so its not to surprising it was more accurate to source material.
I think urb'dredd would've worked better a little more fifth elementy or something, i felt the judges looked out of place in the mega city there.
also nice dubs

>I do prefer the '95 rendition of the city, but then again that had a far more money put into it so its not to surprising it was more accurate to source material.
Two things bugged me about the Judge Dredd movie.
1) He took off the helmet.
2) They spent most of the movie on exceptional circumstances for Dredd instead of the day to day shit he has to deal with.
I've always appreciated the never ending grimdark of the setting. The fact that Dredd treated the circumstances of the 2012 movie as just another day really hits that home. If I could have Mega-City 1 exist for centuries with judges ceaselessly trying to keep everything from tearing apart into anarchy then I would jump at it. That's not how Dredd's story actually plays out, sadly.
The apology is really appreciated. It's glad to know there is one less dick on the internet that I thought minutes ago.
>>83994907
oh, urb'dredd is undoubtedly a better made film without a doubt, i just prefer the '95 aesthetics more.
Its cool nigga, wasnt trying to start shot

I really liked the more realistic take on the urban sprawl because we've never seen that sort of thing on film, really
The big metropolises in fiction are depicted as futuristic whereas Dredd was filled with a bunch of mega apartment buildings/shopping malls that stretched out in a grid for as far as the eye could see

I really hope Reclamation sticks the landing. It's been pretty enjoyable so far but I'm worried it'll do an Enceladus and shoot itself in the foot at the end.

When has Dredd broken the law, and why? It sounds like Bullseye missing, or Batman killing: a lazy way to have a
>HAPPENING
Also, the laws of other places, like New Kremlin and potentially Brit-Cit don't count. Though it was pretty hilarious when he was put on trial for sinking Russia, and he responded by doing it again.

Confirmed for never reading a Dredd comic.
Anderson never wears a helmet in the comics either.
Christ is /co/ normally filled with these these type of pretentious posers?
>>83991594
Think of a utopia. Now think of the opposite thing. That's a dystopia.

>Dredd vs Death wasn't bad either.
Just make sure to buy Red Bull energy drinks and you'll be fine. You don't have to be a mutie to know that Red Bull gives you wings®.
>>83996235
Yes?
>>83996163
The biggest case of Dredd breaking the Law was the Mechanismo affair, where he convinced a citizen to give false testimony about a faulty unit in order to undermine McGruder's measure. Dredd was (and still is) convinced that machines should not be allowed to pass sentence on human beings. This resulted in McGruder not only forcing Dredd to resign, but sentencing him to a stay on Titan.
Apart from that, there's things like decking the accountant judge who bothered him in An Error of Judgment, going against his given orders at the end of the Judge Child Quest, and the time he completely lost it and almost murdered a suspect who had surrendered during Kraken's final examination. Not necessarily hardcore breaking the law things, but moments where Dredd's judgment was considered at fault or where he lost control for a moment.
>>83996365
This Mechanismo thing sounds interesting. I remember his time with Walter the Wobot. Perhaps that was instrumental in his robophobia. I keep hearing about this Judge Child thing, but I dunno if I ever read it. Sounds important. If it happened in the last 15 years though, I definitely missed it. What's the gist?
>>83996079
my mistake, thought JA was solely talking bout the comics
>>83996359
That was sarcasm. I was mocking you. Of course dystopia and utopia are subjective, but that should have no bearing on whether you understand what they mean.
If someone claims that a setting is a dystopia, it just means they believe it's a bad place to live.
>>83996446
>I remember his time with Walter the Wobot. Perhaps that was instrumental in his robophobia
I doubt it. Dredd cared about Walter.

http://judge-dredd.wikia.com/wiki/Judge_Child_Quest
>>83996446
On his deathbed, Judge Feyy, one of the city's greatest pre-cogs, had a vision of the city being destroyed by demons in the year 2120. But he also had another vision warning him that the city would be saved by a kid with the eagle of justice marked on his head. So the Chief Judge sent Dredd on a mission to find this "Judge Child" and bring him back to MC-1 to see if he's really a savior.
It's a pretty damn important epic, setting up a bunch of setting elements (Texas City, Justice-1, space) and introducing a fuckton of recurring characters (the Angel Gang, Judge Hershey, Judge McGruder and the Judge Child himself), but the story itself suffers slightly from some wonky pacing.
>>83996489
>That was sarcasm. I was mocking you. Of course dystopia and utopia are subjective, but that should have no bearing on whether you understand what they mean.
I'm literally asking you what they mean. From where it stands it seem slike dystopian is just an excuse for heavy handed bad writing where the writer hits you over the head with the fact that we aren't supposed to like the state of affairs. But that in and of itself rubs me the wrong way because it implies that the writer doesn't have a problem with the present. And if the future setting is hardly any worse than the present then why does it needed a special word to denote how sucky it is?
I find the entire thing poorly thought out, unless someone can elaborate for me on the genre.

Looks cool. Too bad the progs have been in the hands of shit writers for years now.
>>83996649
Boy, look at all those normal characters that would fit perfectly into the Dredd 3D universe.
And not a single outlandish costume.
>>83996580
You missed the sentence directly after that, I think.
If someone claims that a setting is a dystopia, it just means they believe it's a bad place to live. That's it. Obviously this is compared to what they presently know, because everyone's values are shaped by what they know -- so take a "bad" concept, like fascism or anarchy or a hostile environment, and ramp it up to underscore a character's struggles against this bad thing. Because struggles are what make for good stories.
This is no a complex notion, and I'm not sure why you're having trouble with it.
>>83991635
I'm probably gonna get crucified for this but Hansel and Gretel with Jeremy Renner was one of the best 3D movies I've ever seen.
>>83996848
>Hansel and Gretel with Jeremy Renner was one of the best 3D movies I've ever seen.
>>83996698
For the record, I didn't miss it.
Furthermore, the perspective of individuals in a era of society adapts to the circumstances. Hunter gatherers weren't miserable because they lacked washing machines or cars.
But I'm probably overthinking it, or, like I said, the whole concept is under-thought.
>>83996875
Bitch all you want, its one of the few movies that actually has good 3D.
>>83990219
Even if you didn't actually like it, it was miles ahead of the Stallone movie.
>>83996957
>Even if you didn't actually like it, it was miles ahead of the Stallone movie.
Absolutely not.
Stallone's movie had a better villain, better sets, better props, better costume, didn't reply of slow motion to pad its time and didn't have a fucking manlet playing Dredd.
The only things Dredd 3D did better were not having Dredd take off his helmet and not having Rob Schneider in it.
>>83996953
Does it have any moments where anything larger than a particulate gets close to the camera? For example, the leviathan in Avengers swallowing the camera. That should be taboo in 3D movies. It ruins the immersiveness of 3D movies, and impressiveness is entirely the point.
>>83997023
No, what ruins immersion in 3D movies is fast paced action.
It just looks like as in modern 3D.
>>83990219
>(You)
>>83997023
I believe theres an instance with a hand axe being thrown for the opening or closing credits and an arrow, but mostly its used to give a feeling of depth to the movie and some of the gorier scenes.
>>83996925
No one calls their own time and place a dystopia or utopia, except to compare things unfavourably to other depictions of the future, like comparing Google and the NSA to ideas predicted by cyberpunk novels. This is true of the real world and it's true of fiction.
The article is calling Mega-City One a dystopia. That's because this article was written here, in 2016, judging the future by the present standards. What is there to overthink about "bad setting in the future"? Are you complaining that there's a word for a common element of speculative fiction?
>>83997134
I'm saying that the very concept is rather shallow and poorly thought out. It's like the writer stating to the audience "these are my biases" and writers don't even realize it.
For example, Mega-City 1 is a land of abundance. But for some odd reason that's a bad thing.
Utopian I get, but dystopia seems like a product of small minds, pardon my fedora.
>>83997254
>dystopia (plural dystopias)
>1. A vision of a future that is a corrupted (usually beyond recognition) utopian society.
The only one with a small mind here is you.
>>83997049
>fast paced action in a 3D movie
Literally nothing wrong with it.
>>83997115
If it's at the closing credits then that's actually pretty good. It takes the audience out of the immersive setting at the perfect time.
>>83997289
>Literally nothing wrong with it.
It just ends up a blurry mess.
I'm basing that on my experiences with Avatar and Alice In Wonderland in theaters.
>>83997286
Dystopias are not utterly defined by corruption. The fuck are you even arguing?
>>83997254
Again, as I said in literally my first reply: everyone realizes that people's views on good and bad are subjective. You are not some standalone luminary for seeing this.
Yes, great, the writers are saying that authoritarianism and police states are bad. Next you'll shock us with the revelation that scary things are subjective, and question the idea of the horror genre, and wonder if the writers aren't projecting their fears onto the story.
>>83997328
Alright, then how about Merriam Webster's definition.
>Full Definition of dystopia
>1 an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives
>2 anti-utopia
I'm arguing that you're a fucking idiot for crying about the definition of a word not being to your liking.
>>83997304
I had zero problem with Avatar's use of 3D.
>>83997387
>a word isn't to my liking
>therefore an idiot
That doesn't follow.

Of course not.
He did "Pete's Dragon" for that.

He literally did the same thing with Judge Giant in the comics though. Stop whining.

>>84002821
Does depend on the artist a bit. Dredd could be massive in the 90s, particularly if Simon Bisley was drawing him. He's still buff for an old man these days, but he's mostly more normal sized now.
>>83990385
Most of the vehicles in the comics have wheels. Its the reason for all the giant motorways. There's even a prison island surrounded by traffic.

>>83990385
I know you yanks have a heard time with subtleties - but this move was dark satire, tongue in cheek ugliness and conveyed that Dredd isn't a hero, he's a semi-fascist machine.
Now, if it's just because you personally didn't like it, fine - but you can't argue with the quality of it.
>>84002983
>It really didn't, it looked cheap as fuck even for the 90's
This, Stallone Dredd looked like shit. Danny Cannon went into TV for a reason, the man never had a cinematic eye. The action in that movie is just 90's junk, no style to it at all.
Demolition Man is a better Dredd movie then the 1996 film. At least that movie looked nice and had some decent villains.
>>83996684
>Film has a different visual style from a comic
Oh no what a shocking betrayal.
Also only 12 of those characters are Dredd characters. If they ever do gritty low key adaptation of Mean Arena, Rouge Trooper or Strontium Dog then you can complain.
>>84003015
There was no satire in this steaming turd you stupid twat.
I would know seeing as how I've read the fucking comics and their full of it.
>>84003094
Its not just a visual style, its a completely different tone.
Do not sit there and lie through your teeth telling me that the Dark Judges would fit in the fucking world this movie set up.

>>84003122
You are much too hung up on superficial details.
The tone of Dredd 3D is completely consistent with a lot of Dredd stories.
As for the Dark Judges there is plenty of room to expand the scope of the movie universe, we only really see the inside of a single slum block after all, and to tone down the more outlandish elements of the Death and his cronies. The end result might not be an exact match with the comic but that is why it called an adaptation.

The Asian woman at the front with Mean could also be Judge Inspector Aiko Inaba, but the fact she's not wearing the uniform like the other Judges makes me doubt. I'm not sure who else it could be though.
