New “Dredd” Film Brings Thirlby On Board
Olivia Thirlby has been cast as Cassandra Anderson in DNA Films’ 3D adaptation of “Judge Dredd.” Thirlby will star opposite Karl Urban’s Dredd in the futuristic action pic. She will play the telepathic rookie who shadows Dredd. Pic is helmed by “Vantage Point” and “Omagh” director Pete Travis and script is penned by “Sunshine” and “28 Days Later” scribe Alex Garland (both DNA-produced fare). The $45 million futuristic pic is backed by India-based Reliance Big Entertainment and Stuart Ford’s aggressive sales outfit IM Global through a deal with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich’s DNA Films banner.
