"Production studio IM Global has revealed further details of the upcoming Judge Dredd adaptation. According to the firm&amp;#039;s website, the movie has been renamed Dredd and will draw heavily from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra&amp;#039;s comic books. &amp;quot;Dredd takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilisation on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot - if necessary,&amp;quot; read a synopsis.  &amp;quot;The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring Dredd to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra&amp;#039;s revered comic strip.&amp;quot; Filming on Dredd is expected to commence soon. The movie is slated for release in 2012. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
