Olivia Thirlby a aparut in multe filme (Juno, The Wackness, Solitary Man) si a avut si rolul principal in filmul The Darkest Hour distribuit de Summit , ce urmeaza sa apara pe ecrane, despre o invazia extraterestra, iar acum Variety ne informeaza ca a fost aleasa sa joace in rolul Cassandra Anderson in adaptarea 3D a celor de la DNA Films pe nume Judge Dredd.
Despre filmul Judge Dredd am auzit prima oara la show-ul Comic-Con, apoi mai tarziu s-a confirmat si am aflat ca actorul Karl Urban va interpreta rolul lui Judge Dredd, iar Thirlby va juca in rolul incepatoarei in ale puterii de telepatie care-l eclipseaza pe Dredd, la fel ca-n banda desenata.
Filmarile incep la sfarsitul anului in Africa de Sud.
Judge Dredd va fi regizat de regizorul filmelor Vantage Point si Omagh, Pete Travis dupa un scenariu scris de Alex Garland (Sunshine si 28 Days Later).
Filmul cu un buget de 45 de milioane de dolari va fi finantat de Reliance Big Entertainment si IM Global, al lui Stuart Ford, in urma colaborarii dintre Andrew Macdonald si Allon Reich de la DNA Films.
Judge Dredd a fost descris ca urmand sa fie un film nerecomandat minorilor sub 18 ani
“very hard, R-rated, gritty, realistic movie”
si ca personajul lui Dredd nu-si va da deloc casca de pe cap. (?)

Olivia Thirlby has been in a lot of films (Juno, The Wackness, Solitary Man) and she has a lead role in Summit’s upcoming alien invasion film The Darkest Hour, but Variety is reporting she has just been cast as Cassandra Anderson in DNA Films’ 3D adaptation of Judge Dredd. It was revealed during Comic-Con, then confirmed later, that Karl Urban will star as the titular Judge Dredd, while Thirlby will be playing a telepathic rookie who shadows Dredd, as seen in the comics. Shooting begins in South Africa late this year.
Judge Dredd is being directed by Vantage Point and Omagh director Pete Travis from a script written by Sunshine and 28 Days Later writer Alex Garland. The $45 million futuristic flick is financed by Reliance Big Entertainment and Stuart Ford’s IM Global through a deal with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich’s DNA Films. It was confirmed a few weeks ago that this will be a “very hard, R-rated, gritty, realistic movie” and that Dredd’s helmet won’t ever come off.
