Details On "DREDD"

So far we know that the new film is to be called "DREDD". And that both Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby have signed on for the roles of Judge Dredd and Anderson. Now we have news on what the plot of the film will be about. And here it is,

DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot - if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.
