In a recent interview with MTV Karl Urban had some pretty cool things to say about
Judge Dredd.
"I can say that the producers of this film are going to make a very gritty, hardcore, faithful adaptation of the comic. Mr. Wagner, who created the character, and Jock, one of the key artists, have been on board as collaborators right from the beginning."
"It is no way related to any previous film versions."
"I'm thrilled to bits about this opportunity, I've been reading 'Dredd' in one form or another for 25 years, so to be given the opportunity to portray such an enigmatic, iconic comic book character is one that I'm absolutely elated about."
Hawksblueyes: To me he sounds like he genuinely wants to do the character justice.
