First Poster and New Images from DREDD 3D Starring Karl Urban
Here’s the first official poster for Pete Travis’ DREDD 3D starring Karl Urban, Lena Headey, Olivia Thirlby, Langly Kirkwood, and Deobia Oparei. The film takes place in a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner. A cop (Karl Urban) teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO. The original film “Judge Dredd”, which starred Sylverster Stallone, did well at the foreign box office but had a poor domestic take and was panned by critics and audiences alike. Fortunately, this time around Dredd will reportedly be more faithful to the comics. The film hits theaters September 21st. Poster and images courtesy of JoBlo.
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.
