"Karl Urban is the frontrunner to star in the 3D Judge Dredd movie, according to Bleeding Cool. The Star Trek and Lord Of The Rings actor will allegedly be offered the role of the 2000AD law enforcer in director Pete Travis&amp;#039;s project. As is tradition in the comic book stories, Dredd will not remove his mask in the feature adaptation. Producer Andrew Macdonald and screenwriter Alex Garland, who both worked on Sunshine and 28 Days Later, are part of the Judge Dredd creative team along with Travis. The character, created by John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra and Pat Mills, first appeared in a 2000AD science fiction anthology in 1977 and was played by Sylvester Stallone in a 1995 movie adaptation.
