It was first reported by JudgeDreddMovieNews.com, and later confirmed by The Playlist, that Lena Headey has been cast as the main villain and gang leader, Madeline Madrigal (AKA "Ma-Ma") in Dredd.

Headey ("Game of Thrones," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," 300) joins Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby in the Pete Travis-directed movie, written by Alex Garland and currently filming in South Africa.

Dredd takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot - if necessary.

It’s a wrap: Shooting completed for Judge Dredd

International and local film-makers have wrapped up production on the first ever 3-D film shot on location in Africa.

The shooting of the R245 million Judge Dredd was completed at Cape Town Film Studios in Faure this weekend.

The studio’s Chief Executive Officer Nico Dekker said they managed to pull it off, despite the fact they were still finishing the studio construction.

"It was quite a challenge and the film itself was very demanding and is still demanding in the sense that it is the first 3-D action film to be shot in the African continent,” he said.

Dredd will only take off his helmet for the big song and dance number at the end of the movie.

Some stuff from the screening at Cannes-

The exec describing it as "Dirty Harry meets District 9" is pretty hilarious, but I'm hopeful that the buzz is warranted. What I've seen looks a little grander than your usual B-level comic book adaptation (B referring to non Marvel or DC big heroes and budget, not my opinion of Dredd)
