Propers to screenwriter Alex Garland for that one. We didn’t realize how much we’d appreciate that until an action flick offered some kind of explanation as to why its stars could drop in and out of bullet time at will, but it is quite thoughtful. Granted, it makes the movie’s plot alarmingly similar to Gareth Evans’ The Raid, but it also provides a canonical explanation and perfect impetus for the film to include tons of awesome slow-motion firefights. We also appreciate the inclusion of that drug people seem to be huffing out of asthma inhalers in the clip. It certainly looks far more gritty and tonally true to the Judge Dredd comic books than 1995’s Sylvester Stallone/Rob Schneider vehicle Judge Dredd, but that’s more or less a given insomuch as Karl Urban never once removes his iconic helmet. Sorry.Ĭondolences aside, we’re of two minds on the clip. The firm is promising that Machinima’s stranglehold on the clip will be lifted tomorrow, but who has time for that? You wanna watch Karl Urban shoot some dudes right this minute, and to do so you’re going to have to click through these words to YouTube. While we’d love to embed the thing here and save you all the hassle of clicking through yet another link, Lionsgate has made that impossible. It’s rather kind of them to notify us like this, but rather disappointingly the trailer is exclusive to the Machinima YouTube channel.
This morning Lionsgate fired off a PR barrage to notify the world’s film journalists that the studio had released the first trailer for the upcoming Dredd.
