Dredd saw greater success following its home release, and has since been recognised as a cult film. Despite the positive critical response, the film earned just over $41 million at the box office on an estimated budget of $30–45 million.

Critics were generally positive about the film's visual effects, casting and action sequences, while criticism focused on excessive violence as well as a perceived lack of the satirical elements that are found in the source comic.

Filming took place on practical sets and locations in Cape Town and Johannesburg.ĭredd was released on 7 September 2012 in the United Kingdom and on 21 September worldwide. Produced by British studio DNA Films, Dredd began principal photography, using 3D cameras throughout, in November 2010. Garland began writing the script in 2006, although the development of a new Judge Dredd film adaptation, unrelated to the 1995 film Judge Dredd, was not announced until December 2008. Dredd and his apprentice partner, Judge Anderson ( Olivia Thirlby), are forced to bring order to a 200-storey high-rise block of apartments and deal with its resident drug lord, Ma-Ma ( Lena Headey). Karl Urban stars as Judge Dredd, a law enforcer given the power of judge, jury and executioner in a vast, dystopic metropolis called Mega-City One that lies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is based on the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd and its eponymous character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Dredd is a 2012 science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written and produced by Alex Garland.
