Wow, I love this movie, wish there was a possibility for a sequel. Weird how I could say the same thing for Priest, also both excellent 3D Blu-Rays.

There may be. While it tanked in the theaters (actually $40 million worldwide), apparently it's been a huge hit and selling really well in all formats; DVD, blu-ray and digital downloads. It's already more than made it's money back. Add to that how pretty much everyone who watches it has enjoyed it, the outlook for a sequel isn't too bad.

Finally hooked up my TX-NR5010 with wide speakers (need to figure out how I'd place the heght speakers) using DTS Neo:X and fired up the minigun scene from Dredd. Wow! It really helps widen the soundstage. I even tried it with a few other flicks (The Adventures of Tin Tin really benefits from steering certain sounds to the wide speakers) and it works wonders.

Sadly, it seems DTS is ditching the wide speakers from future Neo:X configurations and focusing on height channels (front and back) instead.

You'll love it. If your bitstreaming, be sure to actively select Neo:X on you receiver. DTS added channel duplification to their newer decoders (even my 5010 does this) based on how many speakers are hooked up to you receiver. Selecting Neo:X makes a world of difference as the matrixed sound is much better than the duplicated channels.

Yes. I think movie theater managers hate me because I'd never let it slide when they'd screw up the audio in the slightest. :lol:

Though I've mellowed out of late and just grown to accept that it'll sound better at home. :cool:

Briefly: Want to see a film sequel to Dredd, rather than a comic book sequel? You’re not alone, and some of the people who want to see a sequel film are the people who are in the position to make it. We’ve heard before that talks have taken place about a possible sequel, and star Karl Urban says “conversations are taking place between the studio, the director and writer Alex Garland.” That was at a recent Star Trek convention, where Urban was queried about a possible sequel.



We’ve heard that before, but fans will likely be somewhat heartened to know that those talks haven’t totally broken down. Hope springs eternal, even in a hellhole like Mega-City One.

This is my most re-watched blu. Also internet says that the sequel has some legs.

Fans have had such a collective hard-on for a sequel for so long that it couldn't possibly live up to expectations. Why they don't just do a TV series is beyond me. It would be easier, cheaper, and probably turn out better than a movie.

You couldn't do that kind of ultraviolent R-rated content on a TV show. Plus, with the number of episodes, wouldn't that be even more expensive?

Yeah AMC was pretty defiant against the ratings people with that scene.

hanshotfirst1138 05-19-14 11:52 AM

We can show that on TV, but we can't show sex or say "fuck," nooooooooooo.

A Dredd TV series would be a perfect fit for Starz. They'd even throw in lots of nudity for good measure.

hanshotfirst1138 05-19-14 12:23 PM

Apparently gratuitous nudity is a prerequisite for all premium channels.
