PRE-PRODUCTION SCREENPLAY, COMPLETE GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION AND CONCEPT VISUALS BEHIND THE #1 FILM. This amazing book also includes an introduction and notes from concept and comics artist Jock and an exclusive introduction from screenwriter Alex Garland: 'Part of [Jock's] huge contribution was a full-length comic book version of the script, that we distributed to everyone from financiers to crew. His paintings and sketches were one of the quickest and most effective way of conveying the look and tone of the project. When - a very long time later - the picture was locked, I could see his input had pervaded the film at all levels.' This is the never-before-seen complete comics adaptation from the movie's pre-production and is markedly different from the finished film, it also includes the full pre-production screenplay and accompanying concept art. Available in a beautifully designed edition, produced in conjunction with Jock, this will be sought after by fans the world over.

When - a very long time later - the picture was locked, I could see his input had pervaded the film at all levels.'

If you're a fan of the 2012 film this is a must have purchase.

The draft comic by Jock that was given to investors to help launch the film has been reprinted here, and shows how close the draft script was to what we saw on film, with a few interesting changes.

Also loads of behind the scenes on the film and its props. If you're into film props, like me, you NEED this book!

Excellent record of the film script enhanced by the working storyboard. Plenty of great shots on- and off-set from the film along with some insights from the design POV from Jock. Happy to have read it a few times since purchasing and will be reading it a few more. Interesting to see the script with deleted scenes and the differences from the shot version. Dreddheads should love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential purchase for Dredd and movie fans alike.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2014
Dredd: The Illustrated Script And Visuals is an exceptionally impressive piece of work and the love for the project shines through, from the introductions from artist Jock and screenwriter Alex Garland to the wonderful art and design of the book itself.

The layout of the book is an aesthetically pleasing one, with the left hand side given over to the script (pre-revisions, with some dialogue and scenes differing from what was shot) and frequently annotated production art and photos and the right hand side to Jock's striking comic illustrated adaptation of the script (created to give potential financiers an idea of how the finished film would play) interspersed with some gorgeous double page spreads of colour art.

If there is one very minor niggle, it would of been nice if there'd been some more information regarding the formulation of the long gestating script from Garland, but that was never really the remit of the book and considering Dredd was a low budget production for a Sci-Fi/Action
movie, we should be internally grateful that we ever got a quality book like this at all.

In short, if you are a fan of Judge Dredd, movie making of books or just phenomenally good art, you can consider Dredd: The Illustrated Script And Visuals an essential purchase and I'm in no doubt that it is a book with immense re-read value and one I will reference regularly.

Eyes up and ears open, Judges! For those of you whom enjoyed DREDD, this book shows you both the script and the comic version of this day in the life of MegaCity One's most famed Judge. Read and view the designs for vehicles, props, uniforms, etc that made this film what it was. This book is a must-have for all Judge Dredd fans who are looking forward to the next film, the next comic. Don't let the opportunity to own this book pass you by or you will be drok outta luck.
