Talk:Dredd (2012)

Cool page

Just a reminder. How about some descriptions in the screencaps? Just don't forget them. Nothing is more irritating than a screencap with NO explanation as to who is doing what with what gun.. :D Just a reminder. MoviePropMaster2008

Will add them today, just wanted to get the core of the page up last night. They won't be particularly insightful, as this is all from the trailer so will be generic shit like "Dredd fires his pistol" but is better than nothing I suppose. --commando552 04:25, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

Lawgiver

I believe the lawgiver in this movie might be a Vektor CP1. I was looking at one of the screencaps, and i noticed the tell-tale handle of the CP1. Since it was made in south africa, not a stretch, but we'll have to wait and see. spartanlord91

Looking at this production pic its a Glock variant. Think it should go on the main page? --Sidewinder Forge 08:59, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the pic. A Glock of some sort was my guess from the general grip shape in the picture where he is launching the rocket, but that confirms it. However I wouldn't put it on the main page as that looks like it isn't an officially released picture but rather a possibly unauthorised picture that someone has randomly taken on set. As to what specific variant it is, the grip makes it either a 17 or 19 (assuming it is a 9mm). --commando552 11:04, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

According to an article in Empire, it's a "modified, blank-firing Glock 19".--Mandolin 22:07, 26 August 2012 (CDT)

Judge Dredd

Can you please also not forget to make a reference to Judge Dredd? Until I saw your entry in IMFDB, I was not aware of this new 2012 installment and it would be nice to know how it fits in with the earlier movie. Watched Judge Dredd on video (!) ages ago and it will take a lot to beat Sylvester "I am the Leuw" Stallone, --PeeWee055 05:08, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

From what I've read the film-makers are doing all they can to distance themselves and this film from the Stallone one. The first film was supposedly pretty much considered the worst thing ever by fans of 2000AD. Critics also largely hated it, and it was considered a commercial failure. So I guess this is more of a "reboot". Jimmoy 05:58, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

in the version with stallone the used beretta 93R in an futeristic shroud to give it that mega city 1 look but a a fan of 2000 ad it is best left forgotten so bad it was that the comics owners have thrown v large spanners into the works so any other "adaptations" dont turn out horrible--Seekerdude 16:27, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

"Video"? What kind of pagan blasphemy is this, PeeWee?! Spartan198 00:24, 20 July 2012 (CDT)

Fictionalised Minigun

In the trailer you see a brief close up of what I think is supposed to be one of the balcony miniguns. You're looking down along the side of the barrel cluster at the delinker/motor area - this does appear to be at least modeled on a real minigun. Here at 2:11 - 2:12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PifvRiHVSCY --Sidewinder Forge 13:24, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

Reminds me of The Raid

The basic plot sounds like The Raid Redemption. LEO types storming a large apartment full of drug dealers, get trapped inside and now fight to get to the top Excalibur01 22:06, 19 July 2012 (CDT)

Anderson's psychological abilities

Any idea if these will be included in the film? Spartan198 23:25, 26 August 2012 (CDT)

I saw a featurette about the film and there was a brief mention about how the recruit he is with has psychic abilities, so I think so. --commando552 11:34, 27 August 2012 (CDT)
