Filming took place on practical sets and locations in Cape Town and Johannesburg.ĭredd was released on 7 September 2012 in the United Kingdom and on 21 September worldwide. Produced by British studio DNA Films, Dredd began principal photography, using 3D cameras throughout, in November 2010. Garland began writing the script in 2006, although the development of a new Judge Dredd film adaptation, unrelated to the 1995 film Judge Dredd, was not announced until December 2008. Dredd and his apprentice partner, Judge Anderson ( Olivia Thirlby), are forced to bring order to a 200-storey high-rise block of apartments and deal with its resident drug lord, Ma-Ma ( Lena Headey). Karl Urban stars as Judge Dredd, a law enforcer given the power of judge, jury and executioner in a vast, dystopic metropolis called Mega-City One that lies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is based on the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd and its eponymous character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Oh, and the clear face shields came in and looked great! To help hide the fact they were just plastic and to give the helmets a bit of flash as well as make them easier for the actors to open when wearing bulky gloves, I edged all the face guards with chrome door edging.Dredd is a 2012 science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written and produced by Alex Garland. I liked the thick leather and canvas gloves because not only did they look good, they were a bitch to do anything in.which made everything you were trying to do slow.and space like! I also used the silver fabric to make longer gauntlets on canvas work gloves that I'd purchased. They were switched to red later in production per the producers. In these photos the neck ring connectors are silver. Okay.to make these look more.I don't know.something, we also added worm screw pipe clamps to the neck rings. To help sell the authenticity of the look.aw hell, who am I fooling. An added and unexpected bonus: I alternated the polarity of the magnets around the helmet so if you misaligned it to the neck ring when you put it on, it would automatically "spin" and lock into the proper position. In order to make them stick together, I embedded ultra strong rare earth magnets onto both pieces so they would "click" when locked together. I then used my Dremel to remove all the screw threads between the two pieces so instead of screwing together, you could just drop the helmet into the chest pack ring and it would sit there. I actually cut out the center of the top ring, creating a massive donut that fit right around the base of the helmets. In order to create the "click and lock" system most space suits have between the helmet and the chest pack, I used Gemma type bucket lids. I also added in a ring of rubber pipe insulation to help make them comfortable to wear long term. I then used the same fabric flag stickers I'd peeled off them and put them back onto the back of the helmets for realism! Once my helmets were all spray painted, I made custom covers for them out of the fabric. It's silver-ish and has the right weight and look to it to look futuristic. I found (by accident) that the absolute BEST "space" fabric out there for my purposes was the same fabric they use to cover ironing boards in. While the pads were in progress and the suits in transit, it was time to go back to the helmets. So come along with me as I show you how to make a space suit that's good enough for an Asylum film (but will absolutely kill you if you ever actually decided to somehow try to wear it in space.) really means we have to figure out creative ways to think and work outside the box. (Go ahead, laugh all you want, but when your lonely butt is on the couch on a Saturday night watching TV alone, odds are, you're watching one of our movies!)Īnyway, our budgets for these projects are small. We make movies like Sharknado and Hansel vs Gretel and Jersey Shore Shark Attack. I'm a (sometimes) costume designer for a little film production company called The Asylum. HOWEVER, if you're interested in making a space suit for around $100 that looks like MacGuyver threw it together one night in a drunken rage, then this IS the Instructable for you! If you answered yes, then this Instructable is NOT for you. Have you ever wondered how they made those super awesome, hyper-realistic looking space suits for movies like "Gravity" and "The Martian?" Are you interested in learning how to make something so incredibly true to life that NASA could potentially call you and ask you if you stole a suit from their astronauts? Do you have an unlimited budget and a team of highly skilled artisans and craftsmen at your beck and call?
