Judgement is Coming! Lionsgate has just released a new motion poster for
Pete Travis‘s
Dredd 3D, the badass new sci-fi take on 2000 AD's
Judge Dredd, starring
Karl Urban as the new Judge.
The motion poster comes from
SuperHeroHype, where they've announced that Lionsgate is also hosting a screening at Comic-Con, on Wednesday night next week, July 11th, at 10PM in San Diego. Tickets are being given away by a few sites only (we don't have any, sorry!). Check the poster below:
I'm actually very excited for this movie, an early test screening had a great response and I think it looks like badass sci-fi action – plus I love Karl Urban ever since the LotR – exactly what I love to see. I just hope it will be better than the one with Sly Stallone.
Dredd introduces us to the savage streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd 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. How will they match against the gang dealing reality-altering drug, SLO-MO, we are yet to see.
The mind of writer
Alex Garland and the frenzied vision of director
Peter Travis bring Dredd to life as a futuristic neo-noir action movie that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered 2000 AD comic strip. Dredd 3D is set for release everywhere starting September 21st, 2012 and also stars
Lena Headey,
Olivia Thirlby,
Domhnall Gleeson,
Santi Scinelli and others.
