Judge Dredd (I AM THE LAW!!)

After several years of injustice, Judge Dredd finally makes his way back onto the big screen, Released by Lionsgate, Dredd is the most famous of the elite corps of Street Judges that run Mega-City One, charged with the power not only to enforce the law, but also to instantly convict and sentence offenders – and occasionally even execute them. Dredd's entire face is never shown properly traditionally from the strip.

 "It sums up the facelessness of justice − justice has no soul. So it isn't necessary 
for viewers 

to see Dredd's face

From the trailer, its easy to establish that this version is far more darker and grittier than Sylvester Stallones camp version. The title character is played by Karl Urban and the antagonist is Leana Heady who plays the evil Cersei Lannister in Game of thrones, but what I'm most excited about is that this movie was shot in Cape Town,  Nico Dekker, CEO of Cape Town Film Studios, says 

Eish Bra!! are those taxi/kombis in Judge Dredd?!!

"The film is a major breakthrough for the studios and for South Africa to have secured a production of the calibre of Judge Dredd. 

The studios are the first custom-built Hollywood-style film studio complex in Africa.
 
EntertainmentAfrica reports that the film's makers, DNA films, chose Cape Town Film Studios for the production of Judge Dredd. The site quotes DNA producer Andrew McDonald:  

The film is not location specific and could have been made in any country in the world. The affordability of South Africa as a film destination and the new high tech Cape Town Film Studios provided us with the ideal combination.

We can expect to see Judge Dredd hit our Happy places sometime in September this year
