The trailer for Dredd – the gory, R-rated adaptation of the gritty post-apocalyptic comic book 2000AD – has been released. The film was shot over the last two years on set in Cape Town, because apparently Cape Town is the best place to film a post-apocalyptic landscape in.
Oh wait it gets better: Cape Town is the best place to shoot a post-apocalyptic landscape in which the cities are walled to protect people from radioactive mutants living outside, and the police are now called ‘judges’ and have the authority to beat people to a pulp pretty much whenever.
The film stars Karl Urban (Star Trek), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) and Jason Cope (District 9).
I mean yes in theory this could just be a re-make of the 1995 Judge Dredd with Sylvester Stallone, but I think everybody’s just sort of pretending that didn’t happen.
Dredd hits theatres in September.
