Dread was made first.Lucius Ivanov said:I thought they already made their take on "The Raid: Redemption" with the new "Dredd"(2012). Both take place in a similar scenario, an apartment building, and in both they climb up to the top floor to take care of the bad guy.
As how I feel about the practice.. well.. they milk a different cow and tell us that's the same one.
EDIT: Mixed the cows..![]()
Dredd was written and filmed long before The Raid. Dredd's screenplay was written in 2008 and leaked online in 2010. Principal photography on Dredd took place between November and December 2010. The Raid did not go into production until November 2010.
Neither ripped of the other.
As for my take on foreign movie remakes, if its good then yay but its so very rarely good. disappointment abounds :/
