So there's a new Judge Dredd movie being made with Karl Urban (Doom, Star Trek) as the lead role.
And here's the first official photo with him in a giant helmet.

Well that's going to be terrible.

That helmet looks ridiculous on him.

That helmet looks ridiculous on anyone.

Not all comics need to be translated into film. Sometimes they should just stay comics.

If any film taught us that, it was the first time they tried to make a judge Dredd movie.

The original one was a classic, I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Early word from Comic Con says Dredd is actually pretty good.
Here are two quick Twitter reviews from the SlashFilm guys.

DREDD is a lot of fun. A return to 80s action, The Raid meets Robocop on a mini scale. great use of high fps slow mo 3d. Gritty & violent.

Dredd is super solid. Great music and fun action wrapped around a simple, straight narrative. Minor reservations are secondary. It’s tight.

Haha wow, can't believe it's getting positive words thus far.

Nah they just dipped it in gold paint, probably still a turd underneath.

well...even if you polish a terd it is still a terd underneath. but it is what that terd does that defines it.

The book it is based off is pretty popular in the UK that is how it became a movie in the first place...The book is really dark and gritty though so I assume fans of the comic are jazzed that this one is all dark and violent as well. I heard a lot of comparisons to Robocop about the book as well.

Saw the preview for this before Ted the other night. From what I saw, he just has to overtake a female crimelord in a giant apartment building. I guess a lot of scenes will just be action on different floors of the building?
