Every time new footage from director Pete Travis' (Vantage Point) Dredd adaptation is released, we get more and more excited to see Karl Urban (Stark Trek) embody Britain's greatest comic book creation. Granted, the new 60-second trailer that was just released only contains a few scant seconds of new footage, but almost all of it features Urban's scowling mug and we even get to hear him growl Judge Dredd's signature phrase, "I am the law." And, so far, Urban has been true to his word, not appearing in even a single frame of the movie sans Judge Dredd's iconic helmet, unlike Sylvester Stallone, who went through most of the Dredd-ful 1995 movie without his helmet.

In director Pete Travis' (Endgame) new movie, Dredd, Karl Urban lays down the law in a dystopian future megalopolis in the grips of a drug war as Joseph Dredd, the most widely known and feared "Judge" in Mega City One, empowered to clean up the violent streets as judge, jury and executioner. In director John Hillcoat's (The Road) new movie, Lawless, Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy play Jack and Forrest Bondurant, two of a trio of bootlegging brothers who run afoul of the law during the Great Depression. So, what do the two movies have in common? New movie posters!

Mere days ago, we reported that the upcoming sci-fi Judge Dredd reboot Dredd had lost its director, even though it had already finished shooting in March and had moved on to editing. Turns out, that's not the case at all.
"Creative disagreements" were cited as the cause for director Pete Travis' (Endgame, Vantage Point) dismissal in the original LA Times article. The report also claimed that screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Days Later) had taken over in the editing room and could seek out a co-director credit. In a joint statement now printed in the original LA Times report, Garland and Travis refuted any reports about Travis being fired.

After what seemed like a promotional black hole, a new, albeit dark, photo of Karl Urban as comic book character Judge Dredd emerged last week — the first sign of life from the upcoming Dredd reboot since the first photo of Urban surfaced last November.
While production on Dredd began last August and wrapped in March, the movie now, finally, has a release date. Deadline reports it will hit theaters on September 21, 2012, arriving in 3-D. The "a day-in-the-life" movie follows Dredd patrolling Mega City One and training his telepathic rookie partner, Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby).

A new "spy pic" from the South African set of director Pete Travis' latest movie, Dredd, has appeared on TwitPic. The photo offers the first look at the movie version of Judge Dredd's classic "Lawmaster" motorcycle, which the futuristic comic book lawman uses to patrol the mean streets of Mega-City One. Additionally, though it's not the clearest shot, the photo reveals more of the Judge costume that Karl Urban will be wearing as the title hero.
Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle's (Slumdog Millionaire) DNA Films is producing Dredd and the script was written by Alex Garland, writer of the Boyle-directed movies 28 Days Later and Sunshine. Olivia Thirlby (Solitary Man) and Lena Heady (300) also star. Dredd is tentatively slated to open December 1st in the U.K.; a U.S. release date has not been set.

Every comic book movie needs a villain, and director Pete Travis's adaptation of Judge Dredd, simply titled Dredd, is getting one. Fansite JudgeDreddMovieNews was the first to report that Lena Headey, known for her performance as Queen Grogo in 300 and as Sarah Connor in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show, has been cast as the movie's "villain and gang-leader, Madeline Madrigal a.k.a. Ma-Ma." Dredd is currently shooting in South Africa, and Headey began work last week. Headey sent her fans a greetings from South Africa on her official Facebook page.

British comic book artist Jock used his Twitter page to release the first photo from director Pete Travis's Dredd, an adaptation of the John Wagner's Judge Dredd comic book. Jock began his drawing career with Judge Dredd and illustrated the concept art for the latest adaptation which stars Karl Urban in the title role.
Those unfamiliar with the comic book might still be aware of Judge Dredd from the 1995 adaptation that starred Sylvester Stallone and committed a heinous blasphemy for Judge Dredd fans everywhere when Stallone took off his iconic helmet and kept it off for a large amount of the movie. Urban has promised a "very gritty, hardcore, faithful adaptation", which will follow "a day-in-the-life" of Dredd, a hardened lawman in the futuristic city of Mega City One, as he trains rookie Anderson [Olivia Thirlby].
Travis is currently shooting Dredd in South Africa, from a script by Alex Garland (Sunshine). While Dredd has no release date Empire speculates that fans can expect the movie in 2012. No matter when Dredd opens, it will arrive in 3-D. And, don't worry, Urban has stressed that he will "keep the helmet on."

Director Pete Travis' upcoming reboot of the British comic book hero Judge Dredd, titled Dredd, recently received its official synopsis, which proves that the reboot could be the "very gritty, hardcore, faithful adaptation" lead actor Karl Urban promised in August. Urban spoke to IGN and updated the progress on the movie, which looks like it has a production start date.
We've got a really great script and we're putting together a really fantastic cast. Pete Travis is directing and we're going to start shooting in about eight weeks in South Africa. It is kind of based on an amalgamation of stories. It's a day-in-the-life of Dredd as he gets to put his rookie — Anderson (Olivia Thirlby — through her paces. It's going to be hardcore.
