Karl Urban as Judge Dredd?Given his performance in Pathfinder I think he could pull it off.

I have to say, if anyone other then Sly can do Dredd, then its Urban. I just hope there is a better script then what Sly had to work with...

Great news, Karl Urban is probably the most underrated actor out there and he deserves a big chance, having proved his talent and stunning charisma in so many films so far.

It shouldn't be hard to top Stallone's flick.

The Narrator: The Better Man
Whoa! thats cool. I still prefer Clive Owen, but this is definitely not a bad choice! Awesome.
I still am drooling over the concept art they released way back when. Hopefully this follows the tone of Blade Runner. :)
