FIRST LOOK: Karl Urban As JUDGE DREDD

Here's our first glimpse of Karl Urban as Judge Dredd in Reliance Big Entertainment's DREDD.

The photo has emerged on the Interwebs from this tweet from a comic book artist known as Jock. I am liking the treatment that the designers have given his costume and if they hold true to their promise of Urban not taking off the helmet then I am pretty much a happy blogger to this point.

Olivia Thirlby also stars in the very hard R rated comic book adaptation.

Do you think director Pete Travis (VANTAGE POINT) will be able to hold true to the original comic? I will say that by shooting the feature with the same DISTRICT 9 folks they are off on the right foot...
