So the film got screened at Cannes and there are no reports of it?
 
John Wagner saw the film, and this is what he said about it on his Facebook page:

I went up to London yesterday to see the completed Dredd film. I've had reservations about certain aspects of it, and made them plain to the team at DNA. All but one of them - a little quibble at the beginning - have been addressed. And what a lot they've added. Music is on the button. SFX are excellent. Filming is impressive. I've not seen a modern 3-D movie before but I like it. I found myself reaching out trying to touch things that were dancing before my eyes. Karl is a great Dredd and Olivia gets Anderson completely. This is Dredd as it should be done - true to character, visceral, unrelentingly violent (but not off-puttingly so). It will open, I believe, sometime in September. No doubt you'll let me know what you think when you've seen it, but this has my recommendation.

One quibble.... I can live with
Sounds promising, I would hope Wagner would be a harsh critic

The quibble, Wagner says, is:

The quibble: use of modern day vehicles in a futuristic setting. Given the budget constraints it is hard to see what they could do to avoid it. It's no big deal, really. It's over quickly and once you're past that it's full steam ahead into Dreddworld. If this film does well we can expect the budget on the next to increase, therefore more money for such SFX. And just consider, on a budget effectively less than a fifth of the Stallone piece they've managed to make a movie far more representative of the character and strip we all know and love.
 
John Wagner posts a little more on his Facebook regarding Dredd:

Re the vehicles: a point was made, valid to a large extent, that in a society like Mega-City One where most of the citizens are impoverished, retread vehicles would be the norm. Sorry, don't know when a trailer will be out, but the movie won't be long. No doubt you'll all come on here and let me know what you think when you've seen it!
 
I think a trailer should be attached to Total Recall...

It might be a valid point to some extent, but it does spoil the illusion of the futuristic setting. I'm glad he still had an issue with it, though he obviously had to let that one go.
 
^At the same time though, there are people today who own cars from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, so its not THAT much of a stretch to imagine poor people could only afford cars from decades ago and due to technology they can still work.
 
New pics, cortesy of the foreign Karl Urban fansite:

Here's the official logo for Dredd

It's funny how much it looks like the logo that I made for my fan poster in February 8, 2011 (the poster I made is the second one that shows up in Google when you search for Dredd poster).

they call that a logo? its just the standard Impact font you get with Windows.
booooooooo!
 
To be fair, I use Impact all the time for graphic design!!!! I love that ****! It is what it says it is, "IMPACT!"
 
''I'll take two tickets for Dredd Winter, please''.......

:D

EDIT: Damn, just realised that the posters a fan made one - apologies to NotAShrimp. Didnt mean to rag on your work (guess I should read posts a little more carefully in future). Sorry dude.

Thanks for the comments!

I had to make another one, this time with the new Dredd picture.

EDIT: I also had to try how it would look with just Dredd there.
I'll stop now.
