jobloffski -> RE: Urban is Dredd? (27/1/2011 8:34:25 PM)

Kinda suggested the same thing before seeing the picture of the bike (ie, wondered if the story of the film would show the 'need' for the kind of martial law depicted by the comic strip, and as a result the funding needed for that would pay for the hardware as depicted by the strip in terms of the Judge uniforms, bikes, weapons etc).
After seeing the pic of the bike I double, quadruple, quintuple hope my pre-bike optimism is justified. Whatever is wrong with the Stallone film, at least it knew good hardware design when it saw it (only needed to copy what the artists originally drew). And If anyone was born to play Dredd it was surely Sly (its just a shame the producers couldn't rely on casting someone as well known as him as a good enough justification for leaving the helmet on, since via Rocky and Rambo, everybody already knew what he looked like. Hopefully, post V for Vendetta, the studio bods accept a known face can play someone whose face is never seen and that fact by itself can be used as a marketing tool, be presented as being faithful to source material, thus turning a potential problem into a selling point).
