Movie Rumour Control?
« on: 29 July, 2011, 08:50:31 AM »
Was thinking about this- perhaps it would be a good idea to have a movie rumour control thread- owned by one person only (or a selected few) who could then update it periodically with the latest accurate information regarding the upcoming Dredd movie.

Newbies could then be directed to it, and it could list things like cast, filming dates, release dates, important things that people involved have said, links to external sites and pictures, and the like. This could then be updated as and when new information is available- but as a locked thread, only the originator(s) could post in it.

It might stop a million "is it true Stallone's making Judge Dredd 2?" posts as we move closer to The Year of Dredd.

I'd start one, but the temptation to fill it with bullshit would be overwhelming. Charles Hawtrey is dead, and certainly not about to play Judge Death, despite it being a source of some delight to me to try to convince Americans otherwise.

Duly elected, you're the new mayor of Twoth-Town - since the last one absconded.

I don't know if it'd be of much benefit just yet, but I agree a locked sticky topic in the sub-forum might be of use to lurkers, reporters, and the casually curious. It could have half a dozen or so posts, each devoted to an aspect, listing or if possible linking to the sources. Nothing fancy, just lists and links, but nothing ummm... unapproved. Things like this:

Background - brief info on comic strip, the 1995 thing, and the new film.
Production details - when & where, cast, some crew
Articles - list of. So far, Empire really.
Media - I've got a few links to audio and video interviews of cast and crew.

I do like this idea - it'd be a useful jumping on point for people.

Molch-R I summon thee with this barrel of leg polish.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Well the leg polish worked (you'd not believe how much a droid on stilts gets through).

What about a locked thread stickied to the top of the Dredd film forum that contains the official news and developments as a way to get new visitors and any passing press up to speed on where things stand?

Nobody on this? Hmm.

Judge Dredd 2, to be released in january 2012, features karl urban in the role made famous by sylvester stallone. This is a sequel/reboot/remake directed by danny boyle who previously made 28 days later and its sequel 48 weeks later, or bums of the dead.

Judge dredd the cartoon first appeared in the year 2000, five years after stallone's film, and has since gone on to be a mainstay of popular british weekly childrens comic, the sylvester stallone megazine; which also features comic strip escadapes of rocky, rambo and stop or my mom will shoot.

The sequel, made in hollywood for a blockbusting $450M, is expected to feature a classic rogues gallery including judge death (a zombie who believes everyone must die) and dredd's evil mother, ma-ma.

mckenzie crook is expected to play judge death, and other actors involved include alan dale and rob schneider- recreating his classic role of fergee, the smelly king, from the 95 original.

Not more Spandex! There's no decency left these days.

There is a tab for the movie on the navigation menu. A summary on the film would work best in there I think. Maybe have a locked sticky linking to it?

If it cannot be turned, then it will be destroyed.
