Judge Dredd is moving ahead with the bottom half of Karl Urban’s mug in the lead, and now Olivia Thirlby will be adding a young face to the chiseled-jaw-landscape of the film, according to Variety (or perhaps someone else they didn’t credit).
Playing Juno’s best friend in Juno will be the role most mentioned in association with Ms. Thirlby, even though she’s a busy gal who has appeared in films since 2003 (United 93 being one of her first). Her role is reportedly of a “telepathic rookie who shadows Dredd.” I immediately jump to a dystopian Up In The Air, where instead of firing people, DreddisthelawIN3D.
Pete Travis of Endgame and Vantage Point fame will be directing a script by Danny Boyle favorite, Alex Garland. The screenwriter has wrote The Beach, 28 Days Later, and Sunshine, as well as Halo (the collapse of which still boggles my mind).
Now we just need to hear about casting for the villain…

Tell me she is not Judge Anderson! She is cute but Anderson needs to be a HOT redhead. Was Anderson in the Sly flick? I do not remember much about that movie at all. Except that the real Dredd would have shot him before he ever finished a sentence for being a crime against humanity.
Cute? That picture is freaking me OUT. Honest to blog.
Anderson is a blonde you cunt.
Of course she is Anderson. Looking forwards to see her in that skin-tight uniform. And to see a real Dredd film.
That girl really is hot, but what the fuck is she wearing in that pic? Where did she get that outfit from, one of the Golden Girls?
She's dressed like one of Patrick Stewart's new-age love interests in the STHG flicks.
Who cares if she's not blonde, it's a nothing issue. The mere fact it's a film that sets up Anderson means a follow-up based around her favourite sparring partners is on the cards.
All I know is if Hollywood insists on inflicting 3D shit on us, it will all be worth it for that glorious day I walk into a cinema 4 or 5 years down the line and see the "Gaze into the face of fear" scene carried out into it's logical 3D, DREDDFIST conclusion.
Garland wrote the superior source novel of The Beach – don't blame him for the shitty movie adaptation…
R., couldn't agree with you more! "The crime is life, the sentence is death! That would be mindblowing in 3d…
Anyone else hoping for a Judge Death story?!
I know, wishful thinking. They might use that later on when their world has been set up for a few films. Still one of the best stories I ever read was Death killing loads of dancers in a disco.
The best Death story is where you find out this unholy monster who's been slaughtering every single living thing to cross his path is also living as a polite, paying lodger to a sweet, little old landlady.
R. "Who cares if she's not blonde, it's a nothing issue." Tell it to #1 fuckwit. Where the fuck did "Anderson needs to be a HOT redhead" come from except his putrid loins? If she "needs" to be anything, it's a cute chick (pictured) with a blonde dye job. And I really hope the filmmaker's idea of what makes a good Death/Dark Judge's movie is nothing like yours. You godawful pisshole.
Shut the fuck up, Grudd, you stunted little cunt. In fact, even better, just kill yourself in the most agonising and painful manner imaginable. It's all you deserve.
