IDW Publishing is launching a new Judge Dredd series. Now IDW will produce new editions of classic Dredd stories. The first hardcover collection will be Judge Dredd: The Complete Brian Bolland available in November, 2012.
Will fans of the 2000 A.D. lawman of the future find Dredd 3D guilty of finally giving justice to the iconic hero. Yahoo Movies revealed the final poster for the Lionsgate film starring Karl Urban. Dredd 3D opens September 21, 2012.
Judge Dredd fans are hoping to see justice done with the 2000 A.D. character. Karl Urban (Star Trek, Lord of the Rings Trilogy) wears the uniform in the upcoming Dredd 3D. Urban spoke of his take versus the first film starring Sylvester Stallone.
“To me, that wasn’t the Dredd that I knew. To me, it was far more interesting to have a character with this inner rage and struggling to contain it, rather than letting it all explode,” Urban tells Movie Fanatic.
“That’s the direction that I was going in. I decided that what I wanted to do was find the humanity within Dredd. He’s not a superhero. He’s a cloned man, but he’s just a man. He doesn’t have superhero powers. His heroism is defined by the fact that he’s walking into a building while everybody else is running out.”
One big difference with the films: Dredd will not remove his helmet just like in the comics. Urban explains how he overcome that obstacle.
“The challenge was: How do I convey all that without the eyes?” Urban wondered. “There’s a wariness too about the character which is really important. Your voice becomes extremely important. In my research I discovered a passage in one of the comic strips that described Dredd’s voice as a saw cutting through bone,” he reveals.
“Other tools were the physicality. What can I express with my movement? It’s also really important to identify where the humor lies. That’s one of the things I really loved in the comic is just the really dry, dark humor.”
