The first official trailer for Septembers Judge Dredd film starring Karl Urban and Lena Headey is now available to view on youtube. In it Dredd can be seen kicking butt and of course saying the words all childhood fans of the comic book hero want to hear "I AM the law". Looking to be one of the years more promising blockbuster movies this should keep action fans happy who, with the release in August of The Expendables 2, will no doubt be looking forward to this after having whet their appetite with Stallone and co's action packed adventure the month before.
Paul Verhoevens pet project "Jesus of Nazareth" now has funding and and a writer for the screenplay. Based on Verhoevens controversial 2010 book that portrays Jesus as a mortal human, rather than the son of god, the film will tell the story of the man rather than, as may be expected, the deity.
Already creating anger among Christians unhappy at the books release the film will no doubt cause a stir when it is finally released, although that will likely be in late 2013, which is a pity as an alternative take on the Jesus of the bible could be a refreshing change.
