Was there any scenes shot, but not included in the final film for DREDD?

Steve Green

Just the one that we know of.

The opening in the script is different - Dredd shoots through the hostage to kill the perp. Some photos of it appeared online a while back.

That was shot in South Africa.

The 'hotshot' scene replacing it was shot in North London in Oriental City (now demolished)

Alex has said there weren't a lot of deleted scenes - in fact I think there's a shot that's used twice, just framed differently.

When I interviewed him back in 2012, Alex said the situation with budget and resources was so tight that the film is 95 minutes long and they shot something like 97 minutes of footage, with some shots being used twice (notably the shot of inside of the lift mechanism, which is used and then later used backwards).

There might be more footage on those EPK's on Vimeo and the like Steve, but I confess to not having watched them all.

Was there anything in the script book?

The entire scene in storyboard form is in the illustrated screenplay book plus a few photos. Everything that was originally planned/shot for the film in South Africa is more or less in the book and in the film. The additions of the shopping centre shoot-out (to replace the street execution of Zwirner) and the inserts of Ma-Ma's heart bomb at the end were shot later in London. The making of Dredd was very much an additive process.


There's a few dozen or so photos for this scene -

Great work there!

Must have another gander at the illustrated screenplay again, it's a fantastic book!

Be nice to get a special edition release one day with a Garland and Dod-Mantle commentary track!

Planet Replicas showed a few behind the scenes pics, like this squib test of the original hostage.

Isolated in what sense? Is the OST download not enough?

I've already got physical copies of the sound track-CD and Vinyl, but something like the Masters Of Cinema releas of Silent Running, which features an isolated soundtrack and effects track, just adds to the overall quality of the release.
Give it a UHD 4K release while they're at it!  :)
