Olivia Thirlby Cast in Judge Dredd

September 03, 2010
Will play Judge Anderson opposite Karl Urban
Olivia Thirlby has joined the cast of Judge Dredd, reports Variety.
 
Thirlby will play Judge Cassandra Anderson, a psychically powered rookie Judge who teams with Judge Joe Dredd (Karl Urban) for training. Set in a dystopian future, the British comic book adaptation focuses on a police force given the power to act as judge, jury and executioner to whomsoever they perceive to be part of the criminal element.
 
In the 2000 A.D. comic book series (within which, Judge Dredd is a recurring story), Anderson goes on to lead the city's Psi Division, maintaining an uneasy friendship with Dredd.
 
Judge Dredd will be directed by Pete Travis with a script by Alex Garland. It was previously adapted into a film in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone in the lead. The character of Judge Anderson did not appear in that iteration of that franchise.

As long as she can ACT the part, I'm good with it. Just don't let Rob Schneider or Sly anywhere near this production.

Hey, you gotta admit that Schneider's impersonation of Stallone was Dredd on, though. (Sorry, bad pun.)

We all know that Karl Urban is a good choice for Dredd because he can be freakin' crazy! Olivia Thirlby may or may not be blond. Let's not forget other actors in both film and tv that have strayed away from the traditional appearances of their characters. Besides, their's an appeal about her. Acting is what needs to be seen and believed.
