The Law Returns. This Time With His Helmet On! Judge Dredd!

[Reverend]

If the leaked script is anything to go by, no, there won't be anything of the sort. Indeed, if memory serves there's very little, if anything in the way of sexual content. I think there was nude scene with Anderson, but as written it's not meant to be erotic at all and it's the kind of scene that can easily be shot in such a way that you never see anything. I think most of that rating will be from gore, violence and the portrayal of drug use.

So probably some shower scene or disrobing from an exhaustive day type sequence.
I've never actually read the comics unless it was a crossover with another character. Have Dredd and Andersen shagged in the comics before?

^Not as far as I'm aware. In fact I'm pretty sure all Judges are suppose to be celibate as a rule...maybe not in practice, but Dredd is nothing if not a stickler for the rules.

I recall a rather amusing example if this from a strip a few years back. In a nutshell, after receiving a terrorist threat the Judges are guarding the "athletes" for the Sex Olympics (yeah, you heard me.) What made me laugh was that the two Judges assigned to guard the changing rooms got bored and Dredd found them interrogating a group of passers by. I think one of them says something to the effect of "I don't care if you're competing creep, assault is assault! Now I want to see spanking licences from the lot of you!"
If this seems like odd behaviour, remember that (aside from the odd clone) Judges are enlisted as children; usually around the 5-8 year old mark if memory serves. They're basically monks.

And no, the scene I'm thinking of takes place in the line of duty...I don't want to say any more for risk of spoilers.

at this point, and not being a huge Dredd fanboy, i gotta say i am not anticipating this hugely and they're going to have to really wow me with the trailer to get my £7

No. In fact I'd say it's 99.99999% certain that Dredd is a virgin. Fraternisation with the opposite sex is a crime for MC1 Judges. Some do have illicit relationships, but not Dredd. He only loves the Law (and then only platonically)

Anderson has had relationships, but psi Judges tend to be cut a bit more slack. They're encouraged to be emotional whereas regular judges are discouraged from it.

The most annoying thing about the Stallone movie (which I would still say is better than its given credit for) is Dredd kissing Hershey at the end!

Looking at that Helmet I think they have been a little too faithful, it might be fine in motion but that shot makes it look stupid.

 

[Starkers]

Yeah I have problems with the helmet, but hopefully on screen it won't look so bad (and I've seen shots from other angles that look better)

I gave up buying 2000AD and the Megazine a while back, but I think I'm good for a £3 ticket on a Tuesday night for this one

That was the most annoying thing (after Rob Schneider) for me about the movie. Which I enjoyed too

 

[Starkers]

Schneider I actually didn't mind. Dredd has had comedy sidekicks before and I guess I haven't seen him in enough films to be annoyed by him.

 

[Admiral_Young]

As Reverend correctly pointed out the only nude scene in the film that was in the leaked script was with Anderson but it was not in a sexually suggestive manner or erotic at all and was related directly with the plot. Nor was it a shower scene either IIRC. I'm kind of surprised that it has taken as long as it has to get a R rating given the script. I'm really ready to see a trailer now.

 

[flandry84]

Didn't Dredd have a relationship with DeMarco?

 

[JoeZhang]

No, she wanted a relationship with him but he wasn't interested.

Here's a close-up pic of Lena Headey, looking most un-Cersei like! Some talk about the movie, some of it a little spoilerish

SFX reporting a new image from the film and reaction to it's premiere at Cannes

[Reverend]

"even though the air-conditioning broke down, no one walked out."

^Well, that can only be a good sign, no? I mean just how fussy is the crowd at Cannes?

 

[Admiral_Young]

Wow...I was skeptical when they cast Lena as Ma-Ma (I had pictured someone like Kathy Bates in the role) but she looks almost exactly like described in the script.

Our first one sheet...plus a couple new stills...

[Captain Craig]

It could be described as simple but it's effective and dare I say imposing.

I like the one sheet!!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I love the tagline. "Judgment is coming!"

 

[Lonemagpie]

The helmet certainly works on that poster - would work on its own, actually!

 

[Admiral_Young]

I really like, simple but effective is the best way to describe it.
