District 9 Was filmed for like 63 million dollars. If you look on boxoffice.com, you can see that it only made 115 million in the US. That's nothing. The average take on films domestically is usually around 200 million. So only taking 115 million isn't that much. The film was terrific, but it could've done so much better.

I'm not bashing Dredd, I'm just saying, ANY AND ALL Box office bombs affect the future of comic book movies. Green Lantern came out, Jonah Hex came out. Both box office bombs and what did people do? This...

"Are comic book movies being over-published? Are fans no longer interested in seeing the superheroes on the big screen?"

Cant wait. :)

Headey looks mean.

Love me some Lena Heady. Still crappy that Fox canceled Sarah Connor Chronicles.

I bet they imported that wall from WALLS-R-US.

:P

It might be for the best if this film flops. I say that because Judge Dredd has to be done with a big budget or else you end up with this film. It might be a good action film - the reviews have been good - but the visuals are so severely compromised. Some fans will never accept 'modern day' vans/cars in a Judge Dredd film! And this is what we've got in this film. The rooms look cheap and basic with zero touches of sci-fi.

People might be raving over the slow mo and ultra violence but anyone with a proper understanding of Judge Dredd will know, in their heart, this is not the right way to do a Judge Dredd film. The Judge Minty fan film has tried to capture the look of the comic strip. This one seems to have ignored the look except for the hugh blocks towering over the other buildings.

Judge Minty fan film:



That's how to do a Judge Dredd film. They've nailed the look even with a small fan budget.

The Judge Minty fan film trailer showcases Judge Dredd riding a faithful lawmaster down a roadway and you can see the huge blocks/buildings, large vehicles.

The Dredd film people raved about at Comic Con features Dredd (apparently in this film the 'Judge' bit of his name is not mentioned!) on a lawmaster bike which looks like a regular bike with a black pyramid shaped box stuck on the front, racing down real slummy type Cape Town roads chasing after a modern day van. A van that doesn't look that different to the one in the first act of Robocop.

So you see how clueless people at Comic Con are. Real Judge Dredd fans know this film is a big sell-out but people at Comic Comic don't appreciate this because most of them don't read Judge Dredd in 2000AD, don't read the huge range of graphic novel reprints. All they do is go "yes, we got a free screening of a film, it's Dredd. Whooo-hoo, it's slo-mo gore. It's Dredd as a bad ass."

But none of them know how Judge Dredd is supposed to look, know how the city is supposed to look, know why Judge Dredd is not Die Hard/The Raid in a MC-1 block. This film is a spectacular sell-out of the Judge Dredd property even down to the arrogant dismissal of the character's full logo name:

JUDGE DREDD.

2000AD has published JUDGE DREDD stories for 35 years and it has NEVER - repeat NEVER - had the logo:

DREDD.

There is no such comic book character called: DREDD

It's JUDGE DREDD - that's the logo, that's how it looked in prog 2 of 2000AD, the very first Judge Dredd story, published in Feb 1977.

So when you see people raving about 'DREDD' just remember this is a sell-out of the property. Perhaps it's a cool action film, perhaps it contains 'elements' from the source material, but they're heavily compromised elements.

Be in no doubt... when Judge Dredd chases a van in this film - and then you go and watch Robocop and see Murphy chasing a van - you KNOW this film is an unimaginative cheap sell-out. It might come as a shock to Mr Alex Garland - Dredd screenwriter - but Judge Dredd doesn't chase 20th century looking vans.

lena's sideways mouth bothers me
