New trailer features "Lord of the Rings" star Karl Urban as “Dredd”

Karl Urban, of "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Lord of the Rings" fame, takes his turn as the comic-book character last animated by Sylvester Stallone in the upcoming action-adventure ride "Dredd," TheWrap said.

"Dredd" -- director Pete Travis' take on the source material shared by the 1995 critical bomb "Judge Dredd" (think 15% on Rotten Tomatoes) starring Stallone -- takes place in a dystopian futuristic society in which cops occupy judge, jury and executioner roles.

Judge Dredd and police trainee Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) then use this authority to attempt to take down a group of drug dealers, headed by Madeline 'Ma-Ma' Madrigal (Lena Headey of "Game of Thrones"), who have taken over the city and are selling the potent drug SLO-MO.

So if you're ready for a new kind of justice system, mark your calendar for the film's Sept. 21 debut. Until then, check out the trailer below.
