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. |

The more I think about this the more I like it. Refreshingly straight forward. Good guy - bad guy - **** you die. Slick and stylish, great special effects, good performances. The look of it was reminiscent of Blade Runner. I'll add this to the blu-ray collection.

Pretty good movie that I would never have given a chance if it were not for the recent posts in this thread.

How about the music? It sounded like a small rip off of "The Warriors" but I thought it was cool. That's one of the main reasons the flick had an old school feel.
