+ | '''''Dredd''''' (also known as '''''Dredd 3D''''') is a 2012 science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written and produced by Alex Garland. It is based on the ''2000 AD'' comic strip Judge Dredd and its eponymous character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Karl Urban stars as [[Judge Dredd]], a law enforcer given the power of judge, jury and executioner in a vast, dystopian metropolis called Mega City One that lies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Dredd and his inexperienced partner, Judge [[Cassandra Anderson|Cassandra Anderson]] (Olivia Thirlby), are forced to bring order to a 200-story mega block of flats and deal with its drug lord, [[Madeline Madrigal|Ma-Ma]] (Lena Headey) and her army of thugs. Contrary to popular belief, Dredd is not a superhero film. |
Garland began writing the script in 2006, although the development of a new Judge Dredd film adaptation, unrelated to the 1995 film Judge Dredd, was not announced until December 2008. Produced by British studio DNA Films, Dredd began principal photography, using 3D cameras throughout, in November 2010. Filming took place on practical sets and locations in Cape Town and Johannesburg. |
