First poster for 'Dredd' arrives

Judgement is coming this September and we now have the first promotional materials for the upcoming "Dredd" in the form of a movie poster.

The movie arrives Sept. 21.

JoBlo (found via Comingsoon.net) had the first look at the new poster along with two other photos, which were posted Friday.

The film is based on the British comic "Dredd," which was also the basis for the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film "Judge Dredd."

The new version, directed by Pete Travis ("Vantage Point," "Endgame") and written by Alex Garland ("28 Days Later"), stars Karl Urban ("Star Trek") in the title role. The cast also includes Lena Headley ("Game of Thrones") and Olivia Thirlby ("The Darkest Hour").

According to the synopsis, "Dredd" is set in a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner. There a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO. 

"Dredd" is set for release on Sept. 21 and is rated R for strong bloody violence, language, drug use and some sexual content.
