Simply titled DREDD, the film 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.

Andrew Macdonald's DNA Films (The Last King of Scotland) will produce. Scribe Alex Garland has worked with the production company before, on 28 Days Later, Sunshine and the upcoming Never Let Me Go.
