JUDGE ANDERSON

Judge Andersons costume was designed to be sleek and sexy, but still retain some protection for the wearer. The costume department was all the time being told to make things smaller and less bulky, hence the skin tight pants and the corset-like armored vest. The standard Judge belt buckle was even bent to reduce it's bulk and conform more to Olivia's body. The producers were so keen on making sure Andersons pants were sexy looking, that they spent the money and had the pants specially made by another costume shop when the main costume shop was tasked with a lot already.

Rob Allsopp, key costumer for the movie, said that Andersons costume was designed after they had established Judge Dredd's Hero costume, and that Andersons was trickier to do because Olivia Thirlby was much smaller than Karl Urban and all the components had to be repatterned and resculpted, even the helmet.

An example of how tiny Olivia Thirby was can be seen in these full body photos of the costume (to the right and left). All the Belt Accesories were the same for all the Judges, nothing was changed or altered for those items. Her Belt Buckle and round Breach Mine are right next to each other, then comes the black Ammo Magazine Holders. Now look at the back image of the costume, the Magazine Holders curve around the torso and touch the Back Armored Vest section. Dredd's Mag Holders barely make it past his underarm area. Also, in that back shot, notice there is no Flash Bang Holder (a green leather cylinder). They did not have the space on her belt to give her Flash Bangs.

Anderson's costume has almost all the components that make-up a typical Judge Costume, Her armor and clothes are jsut scaled down. If you trying to go accurate, expect to send near $2000.00+ USD on your Anderson Costume. Leather is not cheap, and neither are screen-accurate parts.
