The first audition video is of DeObia Oparei doing as many as five scenes for two different roles in the new Judge Dredd movie, titled just simply Dredd. The first three scenes are for a role called Kay. Which according to the leaked script that
Josh Wilding posted over a year ago describes the character as a insignificant gang member that Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) and rookie Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) have to bring in. The the last two scenes in DeObia's audition footage is for the part of Paramedic.
The second video is brief, but it's the actor Laurence Fuller (
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ) trying out for the part of Judge Lex. He did not get the role, it was later given to Langley Kirkwood (
Invictus). Although the video is brief, it does hint at the nature of the Judge Lex character.
