Mine showed it for like a week or something stupid.
[QUOTE=Stockers678;41636675]Is CGI cheaper than practical effects? I have no idea[/QUOTE]
I've read that filmmakers prefer CGI for blood and gunshots because of control over timing. I guess it's not always possible to get the squibs to pop exactly when you want them, same with getting the muzzle flash of a gunshot to show up on film.
Imagine you are filming a scene and you say 'now' for the blood squibs and only one pops on time. You'll have to wait till they set up the entire thing again so you can film another take.
Muzzle flashes are tricky when you film at 24 fps, you may not even capture it on film at all.

Not to mention when muzzleflashes are captured live using digital footage (nearly everyone is switching from film to it), they tend to distort the captured image, like so:

Hence why movie blanks have something like 3 times more gunpowder in them than regular blanks and regular bullets, to make them show up more.
A touch off topic, but I came across this:

Honestly I feel like it would help the odds more if I went out and bought a copy of the movie rather than signing an online petition.
I've never felt that those things do very much.

i felt it hit that great balance were it wasn't too serious for its own good but kept the camp to reasonable levels
the whole idea is fucking absurd but it works
I have no problem with CGI muzzleflashes. If done right they look very good (the actor mainly needs to simulate recoil). But blood man, nothing beats practical.
It would be great to have a sequel, as long as it's not full of 3D-pandering bullshit.

Hopefully it won't be in the next film - it would make it cheaper and therefore more likely to be made

if they stick to interior or smaller exterior scenes (like the highway chase)
then yes.
but otherwise if showing landscape views of megacity one (which is guaranteed) or stuff like with the tower in the first, then it will cost them a bit.

i didnt actually see it in 3d but there didn't really seem to be any moment that stuck out to me as "this was designed for 3d", and the slow-mo scenes looked like they'd be pretty fun to watch in 3d
I honestly had no idea that the movie was coming out until a week before it did. I think it suffered from poor publicity before release, as in very little as opposed to bad publicity, although it did get some of that too since it got a lot of comparisons to an asian movie that came out a week prior. I loved the movie, I'll be very glad if it gets a sequel.

That whole room clearing sequence was done to look "good" in 3d. Most blatantly when he blows the guy's cheek open and the blood looks ridiculously unreal.
I loved the movie and still enjoyed that section but that kind "done for 3d" stuff ALWAYS looks bad in 2d which is the more common format people will end up seeing it in.

It was highly praised overall but it just had bad marketing. The comparisons to The Raid didn't extend beyond "Big apartment building full of bad guys" and if they did the reviewer/critic/whoever must be a moron.

All of the slow-mo scenes were clearly created with 3d in mind. I find it unbearably cheesy to see something in 2d that only made it into the movie so it could pop out of the screen in a theater.

[QUOTE]What Culture reports that Karl Urban stated talks are taking place between director and writer Alex Garland and Lionsgate.
According to the report, Karl Urban noted that while Dredd didn't do all that well at the box office, the studio has noticed the audience as a result of DVD sales.
The studio has more than likely also noticed the fan response to a sequel for Dredd as petitions are online as well as fan sites and Facebook pages supporting a second movie.
