Dredd Reaserch
Dredd is based on a British comic strip which tells of his stories in mega city 1 which is a section of America that is blocked off to the rest of the world or the cursed earth as it is known in the comics. Judge Joseph Dredd is a law enforcer who is the most famous of the street judges and he instantly convicts and executes criminals. 2000 AD is an anthology of comics based on Dredd and it was published by IPC Magazines in 1977. In December 1975 Kevin Gosnell who was a sub-editor at IPC Magazines read an article talking about science fiction films. He suggested the company should get involved and create a science fiction comic. IPC asked Pat Mills who was a freelance writer and editor to develop the idea. John Wagner got involved as script adviser and the pair went to work coming up with the title 2000 AD as they thought the comics wouldn't last that long. The film was produced by Pete Travis and he produced other films such as Hangman, Legacy and Vantage point. He was not the actual producer of Dredd until 2010 which was late in the production and the film was given the green light in 2008 with a $45 million dollar budget and made even less by grossing $36 million at the box office. This was unexpected at the films was produced in 3D. It was filmed mainly in Cape Town and took 13 weeks. It was shot primarily in 3D using a range of cameras but some scenes were shot it 2D then converted to 3D. As for some of the scenes though a slow motion camera was used to capture more detail.
The marketing used in this film were awful as they only produced posters and a website for the film and the website didn't do to well. One of the mail problems was that the film was marketed in 3D and not many cinemas showed the film in actual 3D.
A comic book was released at the time of the film and the comic was used as a prequel to the film allowing the readers to know about Ma-Ma's life before Dredd and how slo-mo was created.
The Critics gave Dredd a mixture of ratings giving it a overall rating of 59%. Some critics said the film was a great sci-fi action film and others said the film dragged and wasn't very good.
My opinion of Dredd is that the film is an amazing sci-fi action film as it involves some great scenes such as the workers being chucked of the top of the building while on slo-mo. I like how they have made the film modern and how it has come a long way since the comic strips such as 2000 AD. Karl Urban played Judge Dredd very well even though you didn’t get to actually see his face throughout the film he stayed in character and his facial expressions helped him with being the perfect Dredd. The violence and gore added to the film made it more enjoyable. The use of a made up drug such as slo-mo made the film spectacular as the scenes where people used slo-mo you could see every single detail.
