Last month gave us our first look at Karl Urban’s interpretation of the icy-cold futuristic judge (above)…and now a few more photos from the set of DREDD have been snapped (courtesy of Bleeding Cool). Nothing so exciting is on display this go ’round, mind you, but if an auxiliary box, snack-stand and row of police-vehicles get you all hot and bothered…then by all means…scroll that shite already!
With Pete Travis directing a script by Alex Garland and John Wagner, 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.
Olivia Thirlby (below), Jason Cope, Kevon Kane, Joe Vaz, Langley Kirkwood, Warrick Grier, Karl Thaning, Luke Tyler, Martin Kintu, Scott Sparrow and Travis Synders all give Urban support.
Currently filming in South Africa, DREDD scours the land sometime in 2012. His first destination? The U.K. on December 1st, 2011.
