Apparently so. (Gets mentioned 14 & a half minutes in.)

IAMTHESYSTEM · 30 October, 2011, 11:34:51 AM

I can see it fine. A little mention but still a mention none the less. In the same line as Harry Potter too.

Cool scoop! Also I hadn't seen that Anderson magazine pic featured in the vid yet, looking good. She seems cool, and I for one can't wait for a trailer! Bring it!

It sounded like the host said 'George Dredd', accents who needs them

Domhnall Gleeson was on the Saturday Night Show on RTE ONE and mentioned Dredd though both he and the host Brendan O'Connor were calling it Judge Dredd. Didn't say much other than he was 'excited' about it.

Don't know if anyone outside Ireland can view the show:

Yeah,saw that myself,didn't think it was worth mentioning due to the brief reference to Dredd.
The interview was terrible.

Had a flick through the latest issue of Total Film today and during a feature on Olivia Thirlby's forthcoming film, The Darkest Hour there's a small segment where she discusses, with much enthusiasm, Dredd, working with Karl Urban, being a woman in an action movie and tight leather!

Fuzzed · 29 November, 2011, 07:53:50 AM

Hunted down that Total Film interview, and she says Urban's 'completely a dude' or totally a dude or something along those lines anyway. What the hell does that mean?

Although I suppose if I were one to grasp desperately for anything Dredd news, and I am, I'd lean towards taking it to mean Urban plays Joe Dredd as a tough man and that's good because he is. Tough. And a man.

I swear, the secrecy is doing my head in.

Bear with it Fuzzed. All good things come to those who wait.

I worry that it means we will be able to see Karls junk through the costume.

Maybe thats why Stallone had the cod piece. To cover up his anaconda.

A few new words...

Olivia Thirlby interview - Dredd

What was it like wearing your leather Dredd outfit?
I'm totally leather body-suited up! It's like a proper comic-book action hero. One thing I love about Dredd is its really realistic approach, it's a very dark and gritty approach, so my look is much less sexy femme fatale and a little bit more like a football player.

Is the new Dredd gritty to counteract Stallone's cheesy '90s adap?
It doesn't go that way only to separate itself from the former Dredd movie, it takes its air of seriousness and violence from the comics, so our idea was to really honour the world of Mega City One in the comics.

Had you seen the Stallone movie before?
You know I actually still haven't seen it. I didn't want to see it before shooting and I haven't seen it since. It's definitely on my list of movies to see, but I must admit it's not at the very top!

What was it like working with Karl Urban?
He is definitely a dude. I loved working with him, he's so good at what he does. We went through the script and really fleshed out the relationship between Judge Dredd and Anderson, who is a rookie. The movie really rests on the bizarre complexities of their working relationship. We wanted that to be the emotional foundation of the film. Explosions and guns and leather body-suits are great, but they get boring if there's not a story being told.

Did you ever imagine yourself as an action heroine?
Definitely not! I've always hoped I could play some kind of role where I could be a really strong, ass-kicking female. It was a really empowering thing to learn how to fight and use weapons. While I was shooting Darkest Hour is when the role for Dredd came up, so I really had no choice but to dive into these 3D sci-fi action worlds.

You seem to get quite beaten up in The Darkest Hour...
That's true, I did all my own stunts! It was crazy, I have photographs of the bruises that I had all over my body. I was picked up and dropped on the floor of this bus repeatedly. It was really brutal, but I'm pretty proud of it. Actually, I fractured my foot and that moment is in the movie, so I put my blood sweat and tears into that movie!

'nother interview but us over here can't watch it.

"The script was really, really good," said Thirlby. "But I was playing a character that existed in the comics, and actually had her own spin-off, 'Judge Anderson'...I looked at the comics a lot. She was drawn by a bunch of different people, as well as written by a bunch of different people. So, there's lots of different Andersons."

Another Thirlby interview.

It's still early, but Thirlby wants to do a sequel to Dredd. That makes it fair to assume Judge Anderson is still standing at the end. "It would be a dream to be able to play Anderson again because I really am quite fond of her."
