US TV spot for Dredd 3D, titled ‘Legendary‘. Not long to wait now but in case you’ve not been paying attention: Filmed in 3D, the film returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra‘s revered comic strip. In this adaptation, Judge Dredd teams up with a rookie (Cassandra Anderson) who possesses psychic abilities. Together they fight to wrest control of Mega City One’s dystopic streets from a brutal prostitute-turned-drug kingpin named Ma-Ma.
Starring Karl Urban (Star Trek) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno) and Lena Headley (Game of Thrones)
Written by 28 Days Later‘s Alex Garland
Released by Lionsgate Films in the UK on Sept 7th and the US on Sept 21st

Also there will be a prequel comic available next week (physical or online, I’m not sure yet) with artwork by none other than Henry Flint, which makes me very happy as he will be getting even more exposure.
fixed, thanks David, I like the way they’ve coincided the release next week with Prog 1800
Your links don’t work… Looking forward to this, although I’ll have to wait until the 28th when it’s released in Norway (but at least we’re a week ahead of Sweden, heh). Fingers crossed it does good business and a sequel gets a chance… Would be great to build on this foundation.
