He should do a kickstarter and maybe get some extra funding. Its a shame that dredd took so long to become a movie that everyone wanted to see again. Dredd was a fantastic movie.
it genuinely hurts that it won't happen such an amazing movie loved everything about it.
I actually never knew exactly how budgets worked for movies. Pretty good to know I guess, seems like it's mostly down to making good connections, because essentially you have to sell it before you shoot it.
Get The Rock in as a villain, movie sold. :v:

Lower the fucking budget as mentioned earlier. A lot of the money went to shooting in 3D, which was cool but 3D movies are dead now. Do another story set in a big urban complex again, or maybe out in the desert and make it some sort of Mad Max in the Dredd universe kind of film. Maybe involve some outside elements but reuse some of the Mega City CGI assets. I'm sure they could work out some sort of deal with Karl Urban in order for him to take less money since he's very passionate about this project. Done. I saved Dredd 2
I actually watched it for the first time yesterday and loved it, this makes me sad I hope he manages to work something out was a very good and educational watch
People actually liked that movie? What was even good about it? v:v:v Also why he has straightxedge hands.

I saved Dredd 2[/QUOTE] the problem with that is you end up with like 3-4 months when you're unbookable for other films as much as urban loves dredd, if someone comes to him with 50% or 100% payment for the same 3-4 months he'd take the 100% payment one
He pretty much hits the nail on the topic. Take into account Cloud Atlas. The movie was independently financed and did well internationally, but absolutely failed in the U.S. market, where it had received the most marketing. It cost $102 million to make, and only gained back [I]less 30 million domestically.[/I] And yet, the film covered all three pieces. It had several big-name actors and actresses (Tom Hanks and Halle Berry), great directors (The Wachowskis) and was shot in Germany where they gained a ton of rebates. Yet, in total, the movie only made $130 million in theatres, not including marketing costs and Warner Bros' distribution deal. So even though on paper it made back its budget, the movie was an absolute commercial failure. It's sad, but it's the way it goes in the film industry.

Plus the Wachoskis have made exactly 1 good movie and a few okay ones, their name carries little starpower. It also doesn't help that the movie was kinda... not great? Bad example. As for Dredd, you know who would fucking kill for a chance at playing in a Judge Dredd movie? Vin Diesel. Hell, have a Riddick/Dredd crossover. I'd watch the fuck out of that.

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;47273848]The Wachowskis[/QUOTE] They've got like what... One good movie in the Matrix trilogy? They suck pretty much everywhere else.
Is this guy the first evil ex in the Scott Pilgrim movie?
I hope it gets done one day, whatever it takes. I loved Dredd, and it's kind of gotten me in to Judge Dredd as a whole.
would a live action game of Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego work within the D+I+S system?
I just realized that this is the guy that produced the dark Power Rangers film that popped up a few days (weeks?) ago.
I never thought I'd learn so much in 5 minutes from a guy dressed as The Crow
