HudsonsirhesHicks posted a statusWhen the first trailer for Pete Travis' 'Dredd' hit the web, the one thing people seemed to dwell on is a central plot point that seemed oddly reminiscent of Gareth Evans' 'The Raid.' This recently released clip from the movie hits upon the similarity in more detail. Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) advises the people in her building that two judges (Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby) are in the vicinity and that until they are brought down, the block is on lockdown. I'll grant you that this looks a lot like 'The Raid,' but keep in mind that these two movies started shooting at roughly the same time. All I know for certain is that it's a great setup for a metric ton of violence and destruction. Take a look at the clip below and let us know what you think.

Comment by BlaK CyClopz on August 23, 2012 at 7:47pm If anybody is any doubt about what an achievement this film is and the caliber of film makers that were involved and their respect for the source material, take a look at this thread where Alex Garland himself took time out to answer in detail every question put to him by die hard fans. 2000ad forum
Its difficult to put across to some of you guys on this forum but, Dredd as a character was a huge part of a UK comic readers life especially being a child of the 80's. To a lot of us its significance Eclipsed any Marvel or DC property out there at the time, Including Batman Spiderman Superman. And to have that property and I'll put this lightly 'Homaged' admittedly quite successfully with Robocop and then SHAT upon with the bullshit '95 Stallone film was a very hard thing to witness. The first Judge Dredd movie was literally the worst thing to happen to the comic in the US market.
Without 2000ad which gave a multitude of comic creators their start you would not have had Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons for example and probably no Watch Men.
I recommend you consider seeing this when it reaches your shores and BTW - 2000AD is now available in the US to download on a weekly basis so you've got the opportunity to check it out.

Comment by Chris-thulu on August 21, 2012 at 9:36pm Huh, I don't remember the swat unit in "The Raid" having a blonde woman on the team. Oh wait, what movie is this clip from again?
That was kinda scary, to be honest.
