The new Judge Dredd movie gets its title, and there’s some fresh casting information too…
The wheels are very much turning with regards the brand new Judge Dredd movie, and a few more details about the second cinematic trip to Mega City One have been emerging.
We already knew that Karl Urban had signed up to play the legendary 2000AD lawman, and it's also been confirmed that, unlike Sylvester Stallone's take on the role back in 1995, his helmet won't be coming off. Furthermore, the director's chair is being filled by Pete Travis, who thus far has Vantage Point to his name.
What we now also know is that Judge Anderson will be appearing in the movie. And she's going to be played by Olivia Thirlby, who was previously seen in the likes of Juno and Solitary Man.
Finally, for now, IM Global has revealed that the film is going to be called Dredd, and it's also posted this overview of the movie:
"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."
