Karl Urban is Judge Dredd!

Some pretty awesome news just crossed my desk tonight. Karl Urban has been confirmed to star in a 'dark, gritty, violent' adaptation of Judge Dredd, so says the producers of the flick. It has also been confirmed that Dredd won't be taking off his mask. Odd, right? Either way, this news has me uber-excited.

Urban's previous credits include Star Trek, The Bourne Supremacy & Pathfinder.
