The recently announced reboot will apparently be written by 28 Days Later scribe Alex Garland and will apparently be a closer adaptation of the original comics than Sylvester Stallone's 1995 outing.

Although he recently hinted that he'll play Judge Dresd, Urban made the announcement during an appearance on the New Zealand movie show Reel Late With Kate. "Yes, it's true, I am the law," he said, later adding that he is "thrilled to bits" with the role.

Judge Dredd is scheduled to begin filming in the autumn and will be shot in 3D.

I'm not sure of this casting. But ANYTHING must be better than the Stallone shambles.

He's a much better actor than Stallone, so I think whatever comes out will be better than the other. Just so long as they don't have Rob Schneider in it.

HULK says Urban would make a good Dredd. He is a great actor with or without the helmet. HULK SMASH!!!!

Great choice. He is an A-list actor who actually has the chops to do this. Then again, I actually enjoyed Sly's version a little bit. For comedic value I guess.

I dont know a lot about this character but Urban seems like a quality casting choice so I'll check this out. I have to agree with Shaman/LEE though that he'd also make an awesome Captain Marvel or Ghost Rider!

In other news, there's now at least ONE person who'd like to see a Tankgirl remake so let's look forward to that particular movie. Hopefully I'll be dead by the time it's released if it's half as crap as the last one. :P
