Okay, now I lost some respect for Eomer.

 

^Why? He just sounds like an average 2000AD fan to me. Why should he give a shite what Sly thinks? Not that I expect him to really disagree with Urban, he's been pretty straight up about his own dissatisfaction with the '94 film.

Well there's only two ways around that: either use prosthetics and have it look very silly, or hire Bruce Campbell and...well, there's not really a down side to that one, is there?

 

Some new high quality photos

 

New poster- from original creator Carlos Ezquerra!

 

^Very The Dark Knight Rises! But cool all the same.

 

Thats awesome!

 

Haha, can't help it, these look way beyond silly.



Someone's gotta photoshop this.

 

Very "Daredevil" as well Awesome though.

It does look a little odd having Dredd stood atop a building as if he's some superhero. I mean it's well done an everything but it's rather lacking in imagination. I'd even go so far as to say it's almost a parody of modern action movie posters.

 

It is! I mean, this is Carlos Ezquerra, who created the art for Dredd in 2000AD, which is famous for satirizing present trends...

 

Has this clip been seen yet?

I saw the first TV spot last night, during (of all things) The Hairy Bikers Mississippi Adventure...

 

That's cool, make Peach Trees look more like a MC City Block. Only downside is Hedley mumbling, anyone else have trouble hearing everything she said? Has she been taking lessons from Tom Hardy or am I just deaf!

 

^There were a few lines I didn't catch, but (for me at least) that was down to the echo on the PA, not her delivery.

 

Viral websites have started to spring up and Comingsoon.net has posted links to them:

I wondered when they were going to start the viral campaign. Honestly though I expected them to start this much much earlier. Like *before* they'd already released the trailer.

 

I saw the trailer in the cinema and it looks really good. The movie doesn't look to be low-budget by any means, the visuals were quite impressive.

If I had one gripe, it's that it doesn't quite seem to have the requisite black humour but maybe the film itself will have more of that; perhaps they don't want audiences to think this is a piss-take.

 

I thought this was rather interesting.

What, like this?


I'm sure someone could do better if they took more than 20 secs.

 

It increasingly sounds like production was a bit of a mess, yet a half decent film's come out of it (if the early reviews are remotely accurate)
