I know this artist from Facebook (we almost did a strip together a couple of years ago) who I've just found out is working on the new Dredd movie. Here's what he had to say about it:
"I'm doing matte painting on it, so lots of buildings and environments. Cant give a sneak peak i'm afraid, but am happy to talk about it. Having looked at the sequences, the best way to view it is like a pilot episode, the story is quite simple but its pretty faithful to the comic I would say. You never see Dredds face and his voice seems suitable, captures the feel of the comics pretty well i think. Its a bit like District 9 and Children of Men as it feels futuristic and contemporary. With all the gore etc it reminds me quite a bit of Robocop too!
So hopefully it will do well and get some sequels!
"
The artist in question has agreed to the concept of joining us in the Yap Shop on Wednesday to talk cryptically about this project. He can't say too much, of course, but then he's never been probed by our Roger, has he?
Wednesday Night Chat - you know it makes sense!
