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.

Lena Headey cast as villain in Judge Dredd

Yum:)

Via First Showing:

"
She's already kicked-ass and fought Terminators as the titular character in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles", now it seems actress Lena Headey will be facing off against Karl Urban in director Pete Travis' Dredd the new adaptation of Judge Dredd. Apparently Bleeding Cool had heard rumblings of the casting before it turned up at a reliable Judge Dredd fansite, and Headey has already been shooting on the film for a week. So who's she playing? The actress is taking on the villainous role of Madeline Madrigal (aka Ma-Ma), the leader of a gang who over run the Peach Tree City Block where the majority of the action in it takes place.

The script is said to describe the villain as a woman in her late 50's or early 60's with a big scar through her cheek and lip. Obviously the age range has probably been changed since Headey isn't anywhere near that old. We've already seen a rough first look at Karl Urban in costume as Judge Dredd, but I'm hoping for a more official, high quality glimpse at this new adaptation soon. 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. "

LOL, I love it. Yes, she is very hot. Loved her in SCC,300 and Imagine Me and You. I'd love to see her get more atypical roles-like this one.
 
Just so we are all on the same page ... you mean this Lena?

Will check out the trailer over the weekend. Kinda busy at the moment. BTW, a major portion of this movie was shot in my country. Can't wait to see the results.
