It can be pretty difficult getting an 18 rating these days. Most of the 18 rated films of the 80s have since been reclassified to lower ratings on DVD.

I don't really care about the rating. People place far too much emphasis on it, particularly the US version which, if you've ever seen the doc This Film is Not Yet Rated, is pretty random. The UK board is much fairer and accurate.

I expect Dredd to have a similar 'feel' and tone to stuff like 28 Days Later mixed with District 9. If that's a high rating, so be it. If it's lower, that's fine too. As long as it's good.

I don't want gore.

:lol:   

....Sorry, Point taken though.



Laugh it up, fuzzball.

No, seriously though, I couldn't care less whether I see blood and guts splatter on the screen. 'Gore' is not the same as 'violent' and film-makers can scare and sicken you with the brutality of it all, without gore, and still be realistic.

That said, if Dredd is gory, I'll still be happy.

Basically, I have no point except yay Dredd.

I want Dredd snapping limbs and bouncing perps heads off walls with his brutal hand to hand scrapping skills and not just endless shooting.

Kinda like the martial art style Batman uses in the newer films; designed to take the enemy out quickly and effectively, with little risk of them getting back up to give him any more shit. That combined with a bit of Dredd over the top brutality would be great, thanks.

The difference with Dredd to Batman is that he doesn't care if lethal force is used.

Too right, even he killed an offender for theft the TV set!

Just trying to think of the goriest Dredd story... and I think it may be the Otto Sump Ugly Clinic story. In that a gangster gets cut to ribbons in a hospital by a damaged RoboSurgeon, blood and guts flying all over the place.

The gory violence in Dredd isn't the problem, more than likely, it's the reaction the MPAA will have to it that's causing the DNA guys anxiety, solution is submit the maximum-blood-n'-guts version to them, if they threaten to slap it with an NC-17, give 'em the version with the reshot scenes, meanwhile the rest of us can enjoy the uncut version of Dredd with a nice '18' rating and the Yanks (and Canucks, sorry Canada :D) can enjoy it later on the unrated DVD/Bluray... there, problem solved, thank you DNA Films you're welcome, that'll be £200 please (or ten boxes of Carlsberg)...

The PR on this so far has been poor.  The Empire stuff was more like it but its timing had me puzzled. As already stated the longer it is left with no official endorsed trailer and images released the more this movie will be unoffically promoted by negative rumour and conjecture. An official DREDD movie web site would do alot to quell this keeping everybody happy  till the big stuff is released nearer September.

Unfortunately I believe that the Empire feature was scheduled when DREDD was still due for a Q1 2012 release, so the timing is bad now that it's been postponed til September, meaning it'll be well over a year between the cover feature and the film being released - fine for a mega budget blockbuster, but not for a lower profile movie like DREDD.
