He may be no Stallone but Karl Urban does a decent job at being a no-shenanigans judge, jury and executioner in the first trailer for Dredd. Granted, this is our first real look at the movie, but with folks like Lena Headey in the cast it's hard to be just a little bit intrigued. Headey currently stars as the deliciously cruel Cersei Lannister in HBO's Game of Thrones and will be once again playing the villain. Surely we can find room in our collective hearts for a few more explosions.

This rumor seems to get confirmed over and over again, but count it as confirmedly confirmed: Karl Urban is gonna be Judge Dredd. "'Yes, it's true, I am the law,' he said [on a New Zealand entertainment show], later adding that he is 'thrilled to bits' with the role." Also, in keeping with the original film, he said he'll never take his helmet off.
