LionsGate Films brings back Judge Dredd in a new format– 3D with stunning slow-motion photography sequences and sans Stallone. This new version returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip. Dredd 3D was written by 28 Days Later’s Alex Garland and directed by Pete Travis.
Starring: Karl Urban (Star Trek) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno), this futuristic neo-noir action film sneak screened at Comic-Con this year where it was a big hit and was well received by critics.
DREDD 3D:LEGACY trailer
– 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 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. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture – a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
Dredd 3D will release in theaters on September 21. I have seen bits and pieces of this movie. For those comic fans and those who loved the original, this is a way to get back that sense of what DREDD was really all about — and in amazing 3D!!
