Proper promo-poster or a fan-made piece of artwork? You be the, ahem, judge…
Courtesy of our comrades over at Kino Gallery, a fresh teaser one-sheet for Pete Travis’ DREDD has been unraveled. Again, I can’t tell if this is a legit look or the handy-work of an ardent fan. Still, knowing DREDD is headed down the lane here pretty soon is damn enthralling, no?
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, Lena Headey (below), Jason Cope, Kevon Kane, Joe Vaz, Langley Kirkwood, Warrick Grier, Karl Thaning, Luke Tyler, Martin Kintu, Scott Sparrow and Travis Synders round out the cast.
DREDD does business in the UK December 1st. Keep it close as we work for a 2012 U.S. release date.
