I don't know... the helmet looks odd but they're trying to duplicate a comic. the thing i'm having a hard time with is the way they're holding the guns

it doesn't even look like they could get it centered on his head right... the first picture looks passable, but the last one looks silly.

Wow I was a massive fan of the comic series but I just don't think they are translate them over into film...and yes that helmet is horrible!!

How can it be a Judge Dredd movie without Stalone in it? ~grin~ That's Karl Urban?!! He looks silly in that huge helmet.

@spiderbat87: You just made my goddamn day with this information. VERY COOL, MR URBAN.

To be totally honest, I didn't know they were making a Dredd movie until a few days ago; I've really fallen off the 2000 AD fanboy cart, haven't I? But all this has reminded me that I don't have an avatar on CV, so I'mma plug in my Super Deformed Strontium Dog and fly my 2000 AD flag!

Yea I'm going to have to start reping as well

Is this the start of a Squaxx dek Thargo uprising?

@NightFang: lol it wouldn't help, theres no chin strap, rendering it useless and completely stupid looking.

I never thought I'd say this, but the Stalone movie looks better (costume wise that is).

Lol, okay you got me on that one.

im not sure ummmmm ya idk what to say o.o whats up with the giant helmet?

Do I spy Olivia Thirlby? That is reason enough to go see this movie.

Who's the blonde girl next to Dread?

I could go into my feelings about the industry being complacent with selling us reboots and the same thing over and over repainted as opposed to making new ideas and tapping ventures that haven't yet for if anything the sake artistic evolution, but been there done that and I'm sure anyone can come up with in there own mind the same. In other news Robocop is also being revamped. That, and " I YAM THE LAH! ". Screw this, give me a Lobo movie, or anything I haven't already seen please...what's that? Star Episode I is in theaters? Let me go to the ATM and let's do this thing! I already paid good money and saw that film over fifty time but what else is there to watch?

Judge Anderson

I dunno for you, but it looks like Urban's wearing the too-big-for-his-head-helmet Sylvester Stallone used in the original back in 1995...

That or they planned to have another actor originally, with a much larger head and went ahead and built that helmet for another guy...

A bit awkward. I mean, check it back, above!

The helmet looks pathetic, but at least it covers Karl "Worst Actor Ever" Urban's face. 

Brandon Frasier is the worst actor alive

It's glued to Dredd's head, hence why he doesn't take it off and why he doesn't need a chin strap. The glued helmet was a result of an accident during his first bust as a rookie with Rico at a mob-run glue factory where they were turning Fatties into glue.

could be a good film but dat helmet reminds me of spaceballs great film too but not the same as a dredd film dat helmet could kill this film imo

The 1995 film was a stalone film. You watched it to see stalone.

This is a dredd Film. You watch it to see dredd.

cant wait.

This

The helmet is huge in the comics, this is part of the problem here - in order to avoid comparisons to the first film, they're going for more 'gritty'. But Judge Dredd comics aren't just 'gritty' there's a lot of humor to them too - some of that comes in the form of the Judges' costumes - ridiculously oversized badges, giant boots and helmets, etc. If they try to go straight 'gritty' and incorporate the look of the comics, you get - cool sci-fi costume, ridiculously oversized helmet to match the helmet of the comics. It's a mismatch. Frankly, I'm a little scared. Unless the movie includes lines like 'Gaze into the face of Death' / 'Gaze into the fist of Dredd!' or 'Judge Fish will now announce our new law' / 'Bloop', it won't be Judge Dredd.

People think this looks good? It looks like a B movie from what little I've seen.

I'll reserve my judgement for when the trailers launch

The helmet is actually quite larger, in fact, due to padding and fitting. Stallone's helmet almost seemed to be fitted for Jason Frank (the Green Ranger) and didn't meld well with the rest of the film. Say Urban bangs this out without removing the helmet. So really, by all rights, the helmet being rather large (although nothing like the Stallone film) still doesn't account for the malformed nature of his, now does it?

The Stallone era was a mistake just as Bill Bixby was for the Hulk. Yes, it did shape things. But there are certain elements in their portrayals I can live without very easily. Judge Dredd was more or less a sequel to Demolition Man if the comics weren't considered.

I don't see why the two concepts have to be mutually exclusive; I was well amped for the Death Race remake because it looked like a cheap 'n' nasty action B-ride, and it didn't disappoint me.

Christ, now I have to go watch Death Race again.

Man, I've been so caught up in Urban and his potential dedication to keeping the helmet on that it's taken me ages to realise that Olivia Thirlby is obviously supposed to be Anderson! And yup, just looked it up and she is. So that's pretty cool.

God, I hope this film turns out to be okay. I'm kicking myself that I haven't been abreast of all this new movie stuff. I guess that's what happens when you stop buying the comic, huh? I'm sure it's been all over the pages of each prog for months now.

This new judge dredd looks as better as Christan Bale's batman.

Why are people complaining about the Helmet isn't it supposed to be that big?

Man, that new Judge Dredd goes hard to the paint! He looks Hoss!!! His gear he has on looks more like armor than a uniform with teflon underneath. I thought the Judge Dredd suit was appropiate for the 90's movie, but for the Judge Dredd movie of the 2000's, the suit looks like a legitimate suit of armor for an enforcer such as Dredd. And about the halmet. man it looks pimp to me, cause man, if your gonna be banging heads in the street then man, your gonna need somethin that can take some knockin. That's why I'm sayin, the armor looks more legit, like somethin you'd actually see in the streets.

Looks cool. I don't understand the complaint about the helmet. It looks just like the comics. The comics version is no smaller than how they have it here. It looks awesome. I did enjoy the Stallone Dredd, except that he didn't wear the helmet enough. Good to hear Urban won't be taking it off in this one.

Pretty lady. :3

@Herx: I forgive them for what they Did, but i'm sure they won't make the same shot this time
