I’m not much of a comic book guy like some of my co-workers but when I saw this trailer for Dredd my jaw hit the floor. I can’t believe its taken Hollywood this long to fund a project like this.
Dredd takes place on a fictional earth created after some major war happens and nuclear weapons are used. The survivors live in dome-like structures that act like a form of protection from the radiation and the mutants running amuck. So, think Big O without Roger Smith. Instead we have Judge Dredd opening up a can of whoop arse on the baddies.
The trailer shows off the three main characters in the movie. First the star of the film Judge Dredd, who teams up with Judge Anderson, who will help him hopefully beat up the main antagonist of the film Ma-Ma who makes a living selling some top level drug that takes people into alternate realities.
This movie sounds like the perfect action flick if it were coming out this summer. Unfortunately Dredd will be coming out sometime in September which may hurt its box office standings.
