This is our first chance to see Karl Urban’s chinned wonder in Pete Travis’s film as well as this new take on the sprawling, crime-ridden colossus of Mega City One.
“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.”

All I could think, when I saw the multiple levels and the idea of fighting up through them, was about “The Raid.”
what’s the song in the beginning of the trailer?
It’s a version of La Roux’s song, ‘In for the Kill’, remixed by Skream.
A little bit awesome, right?
I hope it’s better than the comic, otherwise I’ll give this a miss.
