Looks good, I don't know why people are complaining as this EXACTLY what comics do all the time, different writers and artists setting different tones and if you believe Dredd doesn't do serious, then I suggest you read the story America.

It's gonna be the Batman debate all over again, there is no definitive Batman because it always depends on which writer is writing him.

Although I do have to say I'm not overly excited, but I approach with careful optimism. If it entertains it's done all it needs to do.

So not a remake, just a new writer and who knows, the whole thing could be set up to be a satire on the modern comic book movie in a typically 2000AD twist.

As for the Total Recall remake, given how far the original strayed from Phillip K. Dicks short story, I'm willing to give it a fair shake.

PS: When is Nikolai Danté getting his film?

Scarim Coral:
First hing, did they really had to use that song that was also used for the UK Bayonetta trailer? I don't hate that song but I pretty much had associated that song with Bayonetta now.
Also great they nick that film film The Raid for a part of their film (the part where they enter that building owned by that woman and she locked it down and order her underling to killed the two.
Also Dredd voice isn't really doing it for it as it's like a wannabe Batman.
So overall I'm not too impress with the film.

Except, this movie was finished before The Raid began production and the script was leaked years ago.

OT: I love the look of it, I don't really see where people are getting his wannabe Batman voice from, he sounds like he did in Doom. I expected people on this site to condemn this movie straight away.

Tsukuyomi:
I see a lot of....brown. Brown and black. What happened to colors? The Stallone movie worked for all it's absurdity, but this just....like the concept seems fine. Story works out from what I can see. (though I do wish the female rookie would get a helmet. It just seems silly for her not to have one when Dredd is constantly wearing his.) It just seems bland. Like you wanna ask the producers and director if they're even trying here. No one can really replace Stallone, but I think they could have gone for something other than someone trying to knock of Christian Bale's Bat-gravel.

What happened to colours? Seriously? There is plenty of colour in that trailer.

Well it looks like I'll be the only person in this forum to say I'm really excited for it. Luckily there a few more positive threads on other sites I've seen.

I never watched the Stallone movie, I only know of the select famous scenes and the story, and I never even knew it was based on a comic book untill I heard of this film.

To list off what has me excited,

Lena Headey, Cersei as the main villian, you've won right from the start.

I've always been a big fan of Karl Urban actually. I've liked him in just about everything he's done, and he never seems to get any credit for it.

Karl Urban's passion for this project is actually a big reason my interest is peaked actually aswell, he is apparently a huge fan of the comics and wants to tell a Judge Dredd story right. When a creator of a project has true passion, it shows, and it makes the product more enjoyable. I hope that will shine through when I view the film.

The screenwriter for both 28 Days Later AND Sunshine is writing this, I love both of those films like no ones buisness.

I want this film in my face!

Not quite the only one. As a big fan of the comics, I'm massively hyped for this film. I would have liked to see a bit more neon crazy in th trailer though, the look of Megacity 1 was one of the things the 95 film did best. I'll be disappointed if the city jjust looks generic near future.

As I said in my opening post, I wish this movie will be successful so we can prove that movies based on comics that's neither from Marvel nor DC could work and sadly by reading the comments that followed and like you said most of our fellow Escapists are are already condemning the movie to be bad and will be a flop by just watching the trailer.

But never fear from what I heard this movie impressed a lot of people in Cannes and Cannes people are very hard to impress, so there's hope in there.

Also I think its time for Karl Urban to be respected and gets his due for being a fine actor. Yes he did appear in hit movies but he is always a supporting character (namely Star Trek and LOTR trilory) and the ones that he is the main character/protagonist is always a flop (Doom, Pathfinder) so I'm really really hoping for this movie to be good.

He was pretty damn good in Red as well.

Good:
Incredibly cheesy, possibly to an (un?)intentionally hilarious degree.

Bad:
Will probably be crap anyway.

Yes, I kinda liked that movie but again he is supporting not the lead.
