Here Comes The Judge

I'm liking this news

Karl Urban ("Doom," "Star Trek") is reportedly set to play "Judge Dredd" reports Bleeding Cool.

Unlike the 1995 film starring Sylvester Stallone, Urban's face will remain hidden as the iconic visor and helmet of the law enforcement officer will not be removed at anytime in the film.

Pete Travis sits in the big chair calling action from a script by Alex Garland which is said to stay true to the darker tone of the comic.

Shooting will take place in Johannesburg this year for a 2012 release.
