Comic Con 2012: We sit down for an exclusive 1:1 interview with Dredd himself…Karl Urban!!

Last Updated on February 12, 2026

Karl Urban has been one of my favorite actors for quite awhile, yet even I was a little apprehensive regarding his latest feature film DREDD. Thankfully, the film opened Comic Con and it rocked! It is ultra violent, bloody and filled with action (read my full review HERE). Thankfully we had the pleasure of sitting down with Karl and talking a bit about DREDD, audience reaction and how he wouldn’t have done the film had they wanted him to take off the helmet. Not only is Mr. Urban a talented actor, he is also one of the coolest guys at Comic Con. DREDD opens September 21.
