I also saw a very quick trailer of this the other day and It looks like it could be good. I was not to impressed with the 1995 movie version of Judge Dredd with Sylvester Stallone showing off his face at every opportunity so you knew it was Sly as Dredd in that version. I read Judge Dredd in 2000AD as a kid and this Dredd not removing his helmet and showing his face sounds more like the Comic book Dredd I remember but a tiny bit darker. I also did not like how the 1995 version had former Judge Rico as the bad guy who was just a former friend of Dredd's played by Armand Assante who looks nothing like Sylvester Stallone. In the comic Rico was Judge Rico Dredd the identical twin brother of Judge Joseph Dredd who was turned in by his brother Joseph for committing a crime.
