New Trailer: "Dredd" (2012)

Hello film fan!

Judge Dredd of 2000 AD comics is getting a second opportunity in film, so here's the trailer, and link!



My thoughts...

Most of us would only have heard about Dredd through the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd film of the 90s, and I don't know of anyone who enjoys it today. This version appears to be vastly different however, and it's a welcome attempt as I like the idea of the comics, of the law being handled on the spot by one person - one judge, one jury, and one executioner.

Dredd comes off visually and in style as something which can't be compared. I think Karl Urban is a fantastic modern day actor, and I greatly appreciate Lena Hedley, so I'm optimistic that it's a class above the Stallone version - which I presume many who are crying out with a lack of welcoming appreciation are choosing to do so for this reason. People, please know: Dredd isn't a reboot of the previous Judge Dredd film, but rather a second attempt at a comic-to-film of 2000 AD.
