First Look Trailer For Judge Dredd Fan Made Short, JUDGEMENT CALL
The long awaited first look trailer for a fan made Judge Dredd Short Film has finally arrived. Titled “JUDGEMENT CALL” directed by award-winning Stunt Coordinator Peter Pedrero. The short film is based on the eponymous 2000 A.D. anti hero Judge Dredd. The character hasn’t materialised onto the big or small screen since the 2012 lukewarm received feature film directed by Pete Travis, the thought of Dredd returning in any form gets us excited and after seeing this trailer we are most certainly pumped.
Check out the trailer below –
In the trailer you we get to see Dredd in multiple storylines based on the character created by John Wagner, and a 35 minute full short is set to be released over the coming months. The film was mostly shot by Mr Pedrero during the Covid lockdown of 2020, using family members and friends, but at all times he adhered to the Covid restriction laws.
“DREDD was my childhood hero, and a character I always hoped to be able to bring to the screen “, said Pedrero. “This was a real labour of love for myself, my family, and my friends, and I can’t wait to get it out into the public eye “.
Pedrero used his years of experience on films such as “Harry Potter”, the Bond Franchise and “Final Score” with David Bautista, to create amazing set pieces in what was essentially his back garden. Using a couple of green screens, and with multiple changes of clothes for his own family, even his dog makes an appearance, the effect that has been put across is truly phenomenal. Costumes, special effects make up, and even bazookas were made by the family on the kitchen table.
View some behind the scenes shots, it has to be seen to believe this was mainly shot in his back garden in Milton Keynes during lockdown!
Pedrero produced the short with Drew Casson, (The Last Bus, World on Fire) who handled all the VFX and also shot simultaneously at his home with his family during the Lockdown period doing make-up and multiple costume changes also.
Actor/Stuntman Gordon Alexander plays the chisel jawed hero that has been thrilling fans for almost 45 years.
