WATCH THE FULL DREDD TRAILER 

<<UPDATE >>

At about 2min 50seconds in on this video from Machinima.com you can see some of the first look at the new Dredd trailer




Word has reached us that the first look trailer at Karl Urban's Dredd is due to release this week.

The Dredd Facebook page says the trailer will arrive on Thursday. We're pegging that that'll be a UK time or even US time, meaning that the Dredd trailer will hit on Friday.

I'll bring you it as soon as we have it.

It follows a recent hive of Dredd related activity after relatively little about the cinematic version of the 2000AD character.

We've had the Dredd NZ poster and you'll remember I brought you a couple of new shots from Dredd, the upcoming film with Kiwi Karl Urban and the Dredd poster.

Here is the localised teaser poster for Dredd and thought I should share it with you by Grud.

Dredd hits NZ cinemas October....so lawgivers at the ready.

We've already brought you the first look here at Karl Urban as Judge Dredd and now, we're finally getting to see a first international poster for Dredd.

The film's due to hit New Zealand in October...

Here's the UK poster for the Pete Travis directed flick, based on the comics of 2000AD.

"The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets.  The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner.  Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. 

During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation.  A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan.  When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire.  With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and director Pete Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film.  Filmed in 3D with stunning slow motion photography sequences, the film returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip."
