According to IM Global, one of the producers on the upcoming “Judge Dredd” reboot, the film will be called simply “Dredd” (an attempt to distance it a tad from the Stallone version, perhaps?), and they’ve put out an official synopsis for the movie over at their website:
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.
Previous casting on the film has Olivia Thirlby joining the movie as potentially the female lead.
Thanks Carl for the heads up.
