JUDGE DREDD GOES INTO PRODUCTION FALL 2010

[Stan]

Worldwide. Money is money afterall.

Tell that to Aardman, who were dropped like a stone by Dreamworks when Wallace & Gromit made $56m in the US but $192m internationally. Or tell it to Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright, who watched Shaun of the Dead—against all the odds—hit #7 in the US top-ten, despite playing in about three theatres, magically hold that position for a second week, and then have the distributor decide the take wasn't enough to go wide.

US take is hugely important in the industry, far more than what happens elsewhere—doubly so if the movie is first released in the US or has a simultaneous worldwide release.

Elsewhere, the biggest thing that could scupper the movie's success is the previous film.

Interesting. I kinda hate the Americans more though*. I'm not sure if that was your intention.

Deffo agree on your last point.

With the ''BOOBSHOT'' of Moon Bloodgood, it was R. Without it...PG-13.

A scene so utterly innocuous it's been available on 'no nudity' YouTube ever since.

New Shorter Title: DREDD
IMGlobal's site updated today with a changed title, and new text. No longer is it Judge Dredd 3D, but simply DREDD, though it has to be said that whomever wrote the following bumph doesn't know what they're talking about: "...on Cursed Earth"?!

DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot - if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Pete Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.

    Starring: Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy)

    Directed by: Pete Travis (Vantage Point, Omagh, Endgame)
    Written by: Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine)
    Produced by: Andrew MacDonald, Alex Garland, Allon Reich

Dredd - I like it!

Interview with Alex Garland in this month's Edge magazine. There's a couple of mentions of Dredd, but the only thing Garland says is:

Garland: ...I wouldn't dream of anticipating where films would be in 30 years. I don't even know where they'll be in 3 years. We're supposed to be making Judge Dredd in 3d, but will that be a bad idea in 3 years time? Will the fad be over?

Edge: Is that native 3d?

Garland: We're planning to shoot in 3d.

I share his concerns, but at least this confirms that it won't be a dodgy 'conversion job'.

Just "Dredd"?

Hmm...

Yes, I like it!

Same here.
Short, Sweet, Simple & to the point.
Maybe the title could be done like this DREDD

Isn't Andrew MacDonald quoting as saying they'd be making some big announcements once they had cast Anderson?

Interesting, not someone I'm familiar with which is good I guess, even if she doesn't look like the Anderson in my mind (based on a google image search that is!). She's certainly easy on the eye though. Can't actually remember her in Juno at all mind you.

[DanboJohnJ]

So thats Anderson,never seen her perform so im not going to comment except to say that i hope she changes her hair colour to blond.

[pops1983]

I'm new here, is this the right place to discuss whuch villain we'd like to see in the movie? I vote P.J.Maybe maybe

[CraveNoir]

Isn't Andrew MacDonald quoting as saying they'd be making some big announcements once they had cast Anderson?

He said they'd make a deal with a distributor once the female lead had been cast. The deal will be done next week at the Toronto Film Festival according to IMGlobal and Screen Daily.
