Well folks we have finally been treated to some new news on the upcoming Judge Dredd film. In an attempt to bring back the bad ass Judge from the dead, the powers that be have decided to shorten the name from Judge Dredd to the more powerful sounding DREDD
This sci-fi action flick stars Karl Urban in the title role, Olivia Thirlby as Cassandra and Pete Travis in the director’s chair.
IM GLOBAL, one of the producers of the film, has provided a synopsis for the adaptation of the famous British comic series:
DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot – if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip.
