You may recall that Peter Travis will be directing a new movie based on JUDGE DREDD, what you may not know, but will know by the time you finish reading this sentence, is that Karl Urban is getting ready to play The Law, at least that’s what Bleeding Cool is saying.
I’m usually not that easily impressed, but this is a really good casting job by Peter Travis. Urban is a solid actor who has a voice that is cool enough to carry a role that will require him to keep most of his face hidden most of the time.
I’ve also read a brief script report that made it seem like this movie would basically be a remake of DIE HARD, except they gave John McClane a sidekick to slow him (and the movie) down. I’m not sure if that report was on the up-and-up, but I kind of hope it wasn’t.
