Plot: In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.[/MOVIE1][POSTER1]

From IMDB:


A few weeks back, there were murmurings out of Comic-Con that the new Judge Dredd had been cast and that it would be none other than New Zealand's own Karl Urban ("Bones" McCoy from Star Trek with upcoming comic movies Red and Priest). Empire Online has gotten confirmation from the film's producers Andrew MacDonald and Allon Reich, who were asked about it during a Q 'n' A at BFI's Movie-Con III, currently taking place in London. MacDonald confirmed the casting reported as a scoop by Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston last month.

Here's what else MacDonald said about the project during the Q 'n' A:

“The main thing about Dredd is that it’s a fantastic comic that was completely messed up 20 years ago. Our idea is to make a very hard, R-rated, gritty, realistic movie of Dredd in Megacity, so we’ve got to get the tone right. He’s not going to take off his helmet. His bike is going to feel real. He’s going to hit people and it’s going to feel real. There’s been a change in comic-book movies; they were treated unseriously and now they’re treated seriously."

Director Pete Travis (Vantage Point) will begin shooting Judge Dredd in Johannesburg, South Africa with the same people who made Neill Blomkamp's District 9 later this year.

I have a gay thing for karl Urban in leather. I loved the movie. It will be one of my first 3D blu rays. Please please, will someone make a stunning steelbook of this!
 
Going to watch it on Sunday (30/09) with a mate of mine. Will post feedback here, but from what I've already seen so far, I've got high hopes that it's going to be pretty good.
 
I need to watch this before next Friday because I don't think it'll be in theatres too long with an opening weekend box office haul as pitiful as $6.3-million. That's pretty sad because Alex Garland had big plans for the franchise if the first film pulled in good numbers at the box office. Hopefully it does well enough in the U.K. and elsewhere to warrant a sequel.

I Really wanna see it too but its not in my local cinema anymore :( Although I am a bit broke cos I found this forum haha:hilarious:
 
Raid is 100x better.

no way. The first couple of fight scenes are cool, but how many times can you see the same fight over and over and still think it's cool, let alone be blown away by it? And what about the bad guys? Outside the building they're heavily armed. Inside they have blunt & bladed weapons.

Dredd is a much better picture.
 
yes way,

I'm not going to list all the lame things that I saw in Dreedd...

I'll let others watch and decide themselves.

Yes there are some similarities, but in IMO they are very different films. I adore them both, I so regret not seeing Dredd at the cinema tho
