Judge The New DREDD Featurette Showcasing The Beauty Of Slow Motion
Life for citizens of Mega-City One is miserable so they escape their harsh world with the use of Slo-Mo, a drug that appears to slow down time. Then the villain of the film Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) comes and ruins their good time. Is that right?
The cast and crew of Dredd give us the low down on the drug 'slo-mo' which is flooding the streets of Dredd's city, and talk about how they filmed the slo-mo scenes with technology and techniques so new that they had to experiment to capture the mind-blowing sequences. - web.orange.co.uk
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
The film opens in 3D September 21st.
