Listen to Paul Leonard-Morgan's Fantastic DREDD Score For Free!

The latest big screen adaptation of 2000AD's most famous creation, Judge Dredd, has just hit cinemas here in the UK and if nothing else it completely decimates any memory of Danny Cannon & Sylvester Stallone's abysmal effort of 1995. Dredd 3D, directed by Pete Travis, and written & produced by Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine), keeps its story simple, yet unleashes a mesmerising combination of audio and visuals that is difficult not to be completely swept up in. The plot of Dredd itself is nothing new, and in fact plays like a Tony Scott-fueled mash-up of The Raid and Robocop, as the Judge (Karl Urban) and his probationary partner, Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) are trapped inside the most dangerous apartment block in all of the postapocalytpic Megalopolis - Mega City One. 200 floors of gun-toting, drug-addled scum stand between the two judges and scarfaced crime boss Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and the only way out is to go all the way to the top.
