If the ultra-violent trailer and
subsequent breakdown from Click weren’t enough for the
Dredd fans out there, a batch of new images has been released. There’s less blood and violence in these stills, although it would be hard to match the levels of bloodlust on display in the trailer. Instead, the images show off a range of dark and brooding poses for the most part.
Dredd takes place in a future version of America, which has been turned into an irradiated waste land. Dredd (
Karl Urban) and rookie Judge Cassandra Anderson (
Olivia Thirlby) are tasked with ridding the city of a drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. To do so they must track down drug overlord Ma-ma (
Lena Headey).
Dredd will be released on September 7th in Europe and September 21st in North America.
