As more and more news of the Pete Travis movie version of ‘Judge Dredd’ come out, fans that were initially apprehensive about the project have actually become more and more excited. First we had the news that Judge Dredd creator John Wagner was actually looking forward to this film and just a couple of weeks ago the MPAA gave the movie an “R” rating leaving fans anticipating that this may be the film the anti-hero comic character truly deserves.

To prove this, Lionsgate has just released 4 more stills that show that Travis is keeping to his word about staying true to the comic series. The new images look gritty and dark which seems apropos to what one would expect from the film. We get another look of Karl Urban as Judge Dredd as well as co-stars Olivia Thirlby (‘The Darkest Hour’, ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’) as his partner, Langly Kirkwood (‘Outcast’, ‘The Bone Snatcher’), and the ominous looking Deobia Oparei (‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’, ‘Thunderbirds’). We also have a first look of Lena Headey (‘Game of Thrones’) as the fiendishly villainous Ma-Ma (who was derived from the comic character Madeleine Madrigal) who heads a terrorist organization to flood Mega-City One with a powerful reality altering drug called Slo-Mo.


The fact that it is rated R is a step in the right direction.

It looks promising. It could be a big success if it stays true to the comics and there is a lot more tolerance for gritty comic book adaptations now compared to when the first film came out.

Don't know if I like the uniform... Seems more sensible to have smaller shoulder pads, but I've always liked the giant ones in the comics.
The uniforms in the Sly version were the best thing about that movie, if only all Street Judges had had the eagle, instead of just the senior ones.

Better to have one than not I'd argue British Army brought them back recently.

Also, it covered a gap in parts that should be protected. Knee and elbow pads and his torso, but not that?

Well he got a similar reaction when he was first noted as playing Bones in Star Trek.

Although I don't pick up the comic, I do like Dredd, so will want to see this. The fact they are going with the R rating says a lot to me though. Sadly seems to take some courage in Hollywood at the moment not to go for the insane ammount of sales a PG-12 would bring.
Even when often its at the cost of a watered down film, which proves to be poor or lacking compared to its source material.

I'm really excited about this. I'm a massive fan of 2000AD, and the last film was such a wasted opportunity. Yes, I guess it was fun in a blockbuster kind of way, but any true fan of the comic books will know that it missed the mark.

The 'R' rating is a step in the right direction, the real question for me will be whether it catches the 'soul' of the comic book - i.e. the mix between the dark sense of humour/satire and the violence. I think it's really important that they get some strong characterisation with the main protagonists as well - the feeling of connection, the powerful stories that have existed in the comic book, I think have been through connection by the reader to the characters around Dredd - not the man himself, who really is something of an automaton.

So, if they can get that right (and by all accounts the guy making the film is really into it) then hopefully we will have a real 2000AD and Judge Dredd movie, something that the Stallone movie most certainly wasn't.

Interestingly enough, I wonder how many posters on Dakka realise how instrumental 2000AD/Judge Dredd was to the formation of Games Workshop, and 40k? There were so many similarities in the style of how Rogue Trader was written, and the entire grim-dark setting could almost have been lifted straight from 2000AD. Rick Priestly and a lot of the other guys in those days were big fans of the comic (and in fact some of the BL writers, such as Dan Abnett - who has been so instrumental in fleshing out the 40k universe - used to write for the comic).

I don't think the helmet looks that bad on Urban tbh.

Could the lack of massive shoulder pads be down to it being a fairly early point in Dredd's career? Do giant shoulder pads come with seniority?

You can always tell how important someone is by looking at how big their shoulder pads/codpiece/hat are.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Smaller pads, ok. So long as you see full size ones for 'dress uniform' in part of the film.

I think they got the helmet right frankly.

That lawgiver though doesnt quite look right.

I'm excited.
I actually like the 1995 movie, yes it was cheesey, and yes I hated sly, the plot, and well...everything about it. but it was a Dredd movie.

I'm actually a little disappointed they decided to go "realistic" with the uniforms. The shoulderpads are kind of part of the whole Judge package, making them look like a skateless roller derby team makes me a little ><, but it being another Dredd movie I am ^^.
