any thing judge dredd is welcomed as this one iconic law bringer has been misshandled for quite a few years and realy deserves some good times.
the original judge dredd out of 2000ad comics was if you note a clint eastwood looking judge i see the shift to carl urban a good choice as his abilities as an actor are second to none and mr eastwood is too old now to be judge dredd sadly.
im hoping they keep his pistols abilities in the movie and modern comics, his pstol was one of those iconic things that made him different.
