Domhnall Gleeson knows about being in high quality fantasy movies. He played Bill Weasley in the blockbuster Harry Potter series. Even after being in movies as good as the Potter ones were, he is still excited about the upcoming Judge Dredd movie.
Here is what Den of Geek had to say about his role:
Gleeson confirmed that he plays an entirely new character, created by screenwriter, Alex Garland, not based on anyone from the Judge Dredd comic book stories.
“I’m playing kind of a techie guy who might be a baddie or not, he’s an interesting guy, I hope that in some way he’s got a piece of the heart of the story.”
Gleeson finished shooting Dredd in South Africa in January, and was full of praise for the team behind it, listing the “amazing cinematographer, brilliant writer, fantastic actors and great director”.
Gleeson summed things up by saying, “If it’s as good as it can be, then I think it will be spectacular.”
