Well, let’s immediately stop you – this may very well turn out to be a fan made creation. There’s nothing official from Lionsgate to confirm or deny if this is the first look at the teaser poster for Dredd, the Pete Travis directed big screen adaptation of the 2000 AD anti-hero, but for my money it looks pretty spot on. Not official mind you, but it’s a decent poster either way.

If you were going to tease the Karl Urban Dredd movie then using perhaps one of the most iconic images from the source material is a good start, though the blood splashes are a little out of place and really put me in mind of Watchmen initially – which is strange as the tagline ‘Justice is Coming’ was used for the iPhone game for the Watchmen movie.

Anyhoo – this is meant to be an ‘advance’ poster to whip up interest, and who are we to argue until there’s word from the studio.

Here’s the poster – click to judge for yourselves.
