Now that we know who’ll headline Pete Travis’ three-dimensional JUDGE DREDD rehash (Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby), it should come as no real surprise a few new details for the for the joint have escaped the South African pre-production.
Word from IM Global today claims Travis has truncated his new film title to DREDD, for which they also relayed a few plot details:
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.
To say that rundown is decent kinda presupposes Karl Urban can adequately fill Mr. Stallone’s work-boots. A tall order, no doubt…
