Olivia Thirlby joins Judge Dredd
The Juno actress will portray Cassandra Anderson, a telepathic rookie cop who gets mentored by Karl Urban's title character. Anderson didn't appear in the previous 1995 Judge Dredd movie, which starred Sylvester Stallone. The story this time out centers on a future where officers of a special police unit are given the sole power of being judge, jury and executioner to whomever they deem to be a criminal. And it has been noted that Judge Dredd will not be taking off his helmet.
Pete Travis (Vantage Point) is directing from a script by Alex Garland (28 Days Later). It was said that the budget has been set at $45 million and will start filming in South Africa sometime later this year.
Dredd comes to theaters September 21st, 2012 and stars Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Jason Cope, Warrick Grier, Joe Vaz, Langley Kirkwood, Deobia Oparei, Francis Chouler. The film is directed by Pete Travis.

Still think it should have a higher budget, but who knows. Maybe it'll force them to be creative, and this'll be a cult classic. It has the potential to be.
