Agreed Mr. Radiator ... it's clearer now that you've explained why the Empire feature was ill timed.
It may have been ill-timed, but in defense of IM Global and co., they didn't know it was going to be pushed back to September (does anyone know exactly WHY specifically it was postponed?) when they agreed to have
Empire visit the set and do the write-up, these things are worked out in advance, but the continued silence on the whole publicity for
Dredd is becoming an emerging problem for it's reputation, however, and one they need to rectify pronto, or by the time the film is released, it's gonna be tarred with the whole 'troubled production' brush, and they'll find it very difficult to shake that off... no matter how good the eventual film turns out!
Same thing happened with Hellboy.
What happened with
Hellboy then, never heard of any problems there...?
