More specifically, Urban laid out the failure, as well as the justification for any sort of sequel, in these particular terms:ĭredd represented a failure in marketing. Filmed in 3D with stunning slow motion photography sequences, the film returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.During talks that Yahoo had reported on between the Star Trek Beyond star and the press, Karl Urban wasn't shy to point out the obvious flaw in Lionsgate's attempt at drumming up interest for Dredd's reboot of the Judge Dredd mythos. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and director Pete Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film. 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. 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. 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 (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. 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.ĭuring a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. 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 future America is an irradiated waste land.
