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 don't know, I didn't think it was "wonderful". BUT, just from the first previous I saw and how bad the one before that was, I thought it was going to be down right terrible. When I saw reviews I figured I'd have to see it. It was good, but I was let down.
I would have been very surprised, but then I saw those damn reviews.

Just watched this on Netflix. Kick ass flick. Urban was outstanding.

Sequel could happen. Looked pretty grim at first, with the film only making 32 million worldwide in theaters, when it cost 50 million to make.
Nobody went to see it in theaters, likely expecting as big of a junk film as the Stallone movie from the 90's. Turns out when people saw it for a buck at Redbox, it blew their minds and they had to have it. Based on DVD/Blu-Ray sales, a sequel could still be possible. This was a press release regarding the sales of Dredd 3D. The verdict is in and Lionsgate (LGF), a leading global entertainment company, announced today that the home entertainment release of DREDD claimed the number one spot on the DVD sell-through and Blu-ray charts with 650,000 units sold, making it the best-selling new release title of the year. Blu-ray units accounted for nearly 50% of week 1 POS at retail. In addition, the critically acclaimed thriller, starring Karl Urban (Star Trek) as the titular character Judge Dredd , was the top film download for the week, outpacing all other titles in digital sales as well. Said Ron Schwartz , Lionsgate Executive Vice President & General Manager, Home Entertainment. “We’re also pleased that a film released on 3-D Blu-ray was able to top the sales charts, a clear reflection of how quality films in this up and coming format can find their audience.” Im hoping they do one. Urban has said he's open to making another Dredd film, but when a studio goes nearly 20 million into the red on a movie at the box office, sequels aren't really tops on their to do list.

It was a nice gritty, tight, well made action flick. It was almost like a throwback to old hard R rated action flicks from the 80s and 90s. Too many movies are watered down for a PG13 rating nowadays.

Not a big fan. Effects for the sake of effects don't do anything for me.

Watched it today for the first time. I really enjoyed it. Far better than the Stallone version.
