It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the new Judge Dredd movie. Seems like all we’ve really known for the longest is that it’s happening and that Karl Urban is playing the title role.
Luckily for us, the filmmakers took to Cannes looking for buyers and as a result have brought up some more promotional items for the film. Check out a new still from the film below and a new plot outline of the film from the official Facebook page of the film that is now simply titled Dredd.
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
