So we kicked the week off with a clear, definitive look at Karl Urban as our 21st century DREDD. You get a chance to comment on his appearance? Is he any match for a ’95 Sly Stallone?
Well whatever you think of DREDD, Liosngate has gone ahead and slapped the film with an official release date. Get out the felt-tips yo…DREDD bombards theaters on September 21, 2012.
Also starring Olivia Thirlby (below), Lena Headey, Jason Cope, Kevon Kane, Joe Vaz, Langley Kirkwood, and Warrick Grier – 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.
So there you have it…DREDD opens in the U.K. December 1st of this year, then waits almost a full year to release in the states on September 21, 2012.
Stay tuned for more…
