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.

exactly. It didn't make me go wow you know. And that girl they casted for role alongside Karl Urban just doesn't look right to me in her role. Lena Headey on the other hand

 

[ocielz]

Im actually looking forward to this looks action packed just the way i like em.

So am I. The only thing that looks a bit dodgy to me are the Judge's bikes. I expected them to look more kick-ass. I suppose the budget was a bit limited. Fair enough. If they saved money on the bikes with a view to providing more action-packed scenes elsewhere, then that's great.

Anyone notice that the scene in the building in similar to the Raid? Cop must fight to the top, drug dealer ordering them to kill the Judges? Not saying its a bad thing but it won't have the same impact having seen it before.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. And in the trailer, rookie Judge Anderson looks to be a kick-ass, take no-nonsense and prisoners person. Exactly what I would expect in a Judge.

This will be great....already wishing for a steelbook release

 

[mediafavorites]

The building scene is very much like The Raid

Attention citizens!!!

Yesterday I attended a special showing of Dredd 3D.
Karl Urban & Alex Garland were in attendance along with John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra.
To cut a long story short the film is a decent interpretation of Judge Dredd.
Forget the trailer. It really doesn't present the feeling and tone of the film.
Its violent and brutal and anyone who has a working knowledge of Dredd will notice a lot of background detail.
I'm now looking forward to its release so I can go again!
