Karl Urban is a great choice. This might turn out good after all.

Indeed, for once I'm quite hopeful. And if they have Judge Anderson around, that could mean one of the stories from the comic, which I enjoyed very much.

In what could be a (smart) attempt to distance the film from the first failed Judge Dredd movie starring Sylvester Stallone, the upcoming adaptation of the British sci-fi comic series has shortened its title to simply Dredd.

Meanwhile, there?s also an official synopsis for the film.

IM Global, one of the studios producing the film, describes it like so:

DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot - if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra?s revered comic strip.

The first image of Karl Urban as Judge Dredd in the Pete Travis-directed remake/readaptation of the sci-fi comic series (itled simply 'Dredd') has found its way online. It seems to have been made public by Jock, the comic book artist who is also working on the film as one of its concept artists, and is, according to 2000adOnline.com, a shot taken from rehearsals. So, don't judge the film by the lighting or the location, take it simply as your first look at Karl Urban as a futuristic police officer, judge, jury and executioner.

Even without proper cinematography, it's easy to see that this new Dredd is not taking the cartoonish, overly plastic approach to the costume design that Sylvester Stallone had to wear back in 1995. What do you think? Has this first image started to pique your 'Dredd' interest?

Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you that Karl Urban was Judge Dredd. We brought you the first shot of Judge Dredd. Now we bring you shots from the Cape Town Civic Centre, where they are filming, and making up a Mega-City One.

The Judge Dredd world and characters are quite visually exaggerated, and I wish they would use effects to make it like that:

When we the insanity of rebooting every single movie out there stop.

I don't understand why people moan about this.

Perhaps they think that reboots/remakes are supposed to compete with the original, which is an odd concept.

none of them are good,the first will always be the first anything else is just crap.

So what you're saying is that the only decent Batman film is the black & white serial film from 1943; all the succeeding films are crap?

It was first reported by JudgeDreddMovieNews.com, and later confirmed by The Playlist, that Lena Headey has been cast as the main villain and gang leader, Madeline Madrigal (AKA "Ma-Ma") in Dredd.

Headey ("Game of Thrones," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," 300) joins Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby in the Pete Travis-directed movie, written by Alex Garland and currently filming in South Africa.

I liked the Original... kinda sad to see a bunch of these movies rebooted instead of new ideas coming, its like watching the same damn movie over again.

I do not see an issue with reinterpreting popular characters & film. Especially comic books. Also "reboot" is a stupid term for it. It gives the impression that all other interpretations are being binned; they aren't, it's just a different take is all.

That said this films looks pretty poor if those pictures are anything to go by.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
