Dredd Helmet Design!

looks good that helmet had some battles

Must...have.

idk i think the helmet looks a little stupid but im also not familiar with dredd comix and stallone's dredd is a lil be4 my time and since every1 says its horrid i neva gave it a look so idk what im rele talkin bout 2 much with this 1

It doesn't look much different than the one in the Stallone movie.

It looks perfect and very much like one from one of the earlier 2000AD comic book versions. That is how Dredd is supposed to look.

So they are going to make it look futuristic?!... In the last few pictures it looked like they were going to make more Robocop style setup!
The futuristic look is right way! The helmet is great, but it doesnt seem to fit in Urban´s head, but i will wait the trailer before i give my final sentence!

For feck sake people! It does not look like the original Dredd helmet!!! Have you people even read 2000AD? Go look up Carlos Ezquerra and look at his Dredd.He co-created the character.HIS is the definitive Dredd and his helmet is drawn smaller! Some early artists did draw it baggy but over the years more and more artists have gone for the more form fitting look.Because quite simply it looks better.

Tell me, WHY is it that sometimes (well, most of the times, most idiot filmmakers and their team NEVER get it)... I am all for a new Judge Dredd movie, and it seems that - according to some - the script supposedly is THE best Dredd movie script out there... if that is true, then why in HELL - according to some leaked photos - are they failing in the looks department?

See this:
Urban's


Stallone's


Original look:


And a fan-film's version:


...so explain me this: regardless of the damned script, no matter how good... most fan-atics will judge (pun intended) the look of the movie as well as the feel. I'm telling you now, great the script may be -- fan-atics will dis the movie if they don't do it right in the looks dept.

Then comes a fan-film that seems to get it. Yes, it's a fan-film, I shit you not:

HE IS THE LLLLAAAAWWWW!!!!!!!

Any comparisons to Robocop should be the other way round. The creator for Robocop said he was influenced and got a lot of his inspiration for the idea from Dredd.

This could be a really good movie and I think it should be given a chance. Of course they are going to CGI alot of it, this isn't on a huge budget so I do think rather than huge sets or models CGI is the least expensive option so lets wait to reserve judgement until we see trailer.

@Moltenman: Beg pardon, CGI is the least expensive??? Whatever gave you that idea? Frankly speaking, between actual props, animatronics, etc... CGI is the MOST expensive of the lot. If you say that Urban's Dredd film isn't on a huge budget, then no way is it going for the gold on BEST CGI effects money could buy. One can only hope it is passable or everything goes "bust".

With CGI, you're paying for a computation "rendering farm" or "farms", which means you're either running a huge cluster of computers with all the associated capital and runtime expense (hardware, electricity, cooling, system administration) or you're renting time on someone else's cluster.

You're also paying the equivalent of programmers to work on the artistic attributes of 24 frames per second of a two-hour movie... maybe more. That's a lot of things going on from pre-viz, pre-render, mocap (if needed), etc.

Unless your software is in-house, you're paying licensing fees. Otherwise, you're paying real programmers to write rendering software, as well as update it with new features or bug fixes.... or even more if they have to make new programs/modules/hardware from scratch to get the effects/styles you want.

Then you have to redo shot after shot until the director is happy with the end result... and that means more man/woman-hours behind a computer on a longer-than normal hour day due to deadlines and do-overs. There was a reason why Cameron's Avatar took so long...

Y'know, I've read almost all of the Dredd books and I say the same thing I said about the costumes in the X-Men movies: "Whaddya'want?" Giant golden eagles for shoulder pads? Pocketwatch fobs attached to dubious looking badges? The idea of the comic is to be outlandish so the setting and story don't seem as insane and violent. I like that they're going for a more utilitarian look for the uniforms in Urban's Dredd. Keeps you in the picture. Look, we're getting a Dredd who doesn't take off his helmet, a psychic sidekick and a dystopian future where each officer is judge and jury. I guess it isn't going to be good unless its PERFECT and they all wear green soccer-shinguards and call people "pukes". Whiners....
