Its a dreamy question, but does anyone know the kind of budget those movies on The Horror Channel / Movies For Men etc have ?
I'd happily watch a Dredd movie with that kind of budget, and if anyones seen the SFX on CBBC Wizards Vs Aliens I am pretty sure Millenium could do an awesome job here in the Uk.

If anyone has an idea on those sort of budgets, I'd love to know ?
Z- Budget movies. Meaning you could not even buy a Boot's meal deal  with the amount of money they spent on it.

I'd rather have no movie at all than some low budget dross.

Dredd has no charm?


He didn't bring flowers to Anderson's assessment.

I guess I'm thinking more in the line of Spooks, Lewis, The Killing -  hour long or feature length - that sort of thing really...

All well and good, but when you try and do sci fi on that kind of money...

...You get the Wing Commander movie. Oh dear.

You're basing that comparison on what was achievable at a VFX level 14 years ago.

A better comparision would be the Blood and Chrome series. I've not watched it to comment on the quality, but it's very green screen heavy.

Can't seem to find any concrete figures on budget, apart from one of $2m, but I'm not sure if that is just the pilot as it seems to have had a convoluted production.

I think you're talking around a £1m an episode for something like Spooks, seems to be the figure bandied about.

As has been said, sci-fi is a different beast, but I see a lot of digital work on non-sci-fi shows, like Ugly Betty where they've done a lot of background replacement.

Dredd now occupies no.3 (Blu Ray) and no.5 (DVD) of Amazon's Film & TV top ten!

The Empire podcast review of the year episode gives Dredd a few nice shout outs.

I've been listening to a lot of 'best of the year' type podcasts and Dredd is coming up again and again.

On the Modern Media Myth podcast - which tends to focus on discussions of superhero movies - many of the panelists 'biggest disappointment' of the year was not 'film x was shit', but that Dredd did so badly at the box office. Their actual Dredd roundtable episode is great and well worth a listen too.

Glowing 4 star review in the latest SFX magazine's rated section.

And equally glowing review of 2000ad's recent Trifecta series in its comic section.
