I'm saying Urban doesn't seem to fit the costume or the role of Dredd.

For you, Yes other people will disagree

i found the trailer yesterday and watched it, Reminds of The Raid: Redemption with them in the apartment building.

Gah, they've got the style all wrong again! As soon as the trailer did the 'Judge, jury... and executioner' tag I knew they'd cocked it up.

I know a film needs changes, but just making it straight action cuts the heart out of what Dredd is. Watchmen was done with respect to style; so could Dredd be.

Oh snap! You're right! Totally didn't realize that. He's a handsome man. 😕

Urban looks fine to me, but imo that looks very little like Mega City 1...

The release dates are so close, it's likely just a coincidence that the central plots are similar. Dredd fans on IMDB are convinced, however, the makers of TR:R purposely tried to push their film into theaters first to upstage Dredd, which got shot before TR:R in late 2010.

Then i suppose the folks at the Cannes film festival don't know what they're on about then....

I've never read the comics. Are they so different, Ush?

Yeah, watching the trailer again, this really doesn't look any better than the Stallone version. That version is actually pretty entertaining, in a campy, over-the-top sort of way. The production value and just look of it is pretty entertaining.

Karl is pretty darn sexy 😉

Well, if people aren't satisfied with this version of Dredd - done as an independent U.K. production - they probably never will be.

Oh gasp! The folk at Cannes have a higher & more respectable opinion than any of us put together.

Thanks for being sarcastic

could you get off your high horse next.

Oh Kaz I was hoping you & I could ride off into the sunset together...

Go find someone else for your brokeback mountain love.

I'm only 14 Kaz.

Don't play with my tender young heart.

You must think rather highly of me if I'm two-thirds of the threesome. Or is Esau two-thirds and I'm one-third?
