Judge Dredd
SCOOP: Karl Urban To Be Cast As Judge Dredd
Submitted by Rich Johnston on July 21, 2010 We’ve been hearing word about the new Judge Dredd movie for quite some time. A step up from the Sylvester Stallone movie, it’s intended to be closer to the darker tone of the comic book. And it was all the buzz at Cannes earlier this year. Well, Bleeding Cool now understands that Karl Urban will be offered the role of Judge Dredd in the new movie. Or at least Judge Dredd’s chin. Because one of the main provisos of the deal is that, just as in the comic, Judge Dredd will not remove his helmet. But of course that chin will now be seen in glorious three dimensions. And, contract willing, Karl Urban is of a mind to accept it. Best known of late for playing Bones McCoy in the recent JJ Abrams Star Trek movie as well as Cesar in Xena Warrior Princess and Eomer in Lord Of The Rings, as well as the upcoming Red, he certainly has the right geek-cred background. But this is the role that is likely to make him a geek god supreme. |

I can think of a lot of words for Stallone's version. Perfection doesn't come to mind.

Looks worse than the original by a large margin.
At least the original didn't try to take itself seriously.

I don't even know what that means. Judge Dredd should be campy?

Eh, I've seen worse. The Stallone version was so freaking campy it just turned ridiculous. This looks watchable, maybe as a rental. |

Since the Nolan Batman Series, everyone thinks if they go "dark" then the Comicbook premise will garner artistic credit. With some , like Batman, it works. But you can't brush stroke everyone with the "darker tones."
Superman seems to be taking that route, and I can't see the "biggest Boyscout" of all time being brudeing or dark, sorry, doesn't fly (pun intended). I saw "The Avengers" the other day, great tone some "moody" moments but weren't over the top and were left at appropriate levels. Comic book films are to be fun, not all are meant to be on par with "Masterpiece Theater." |
