A new image from the production company responsible for Dredd, along with a substantially-expanded description of the film available on the movie's newly-launched Facebook page, have kicked off a new round of press for the gritty comic book adaptation, a ground-up reinvention of Judge Dredd's tarnished cinematic image.

In the new image, shown at left, Dredd is running from an explosion that sends a man flying out of a structure on which the words "Minty is the law" are sprayed in graffiti. It's unclear from the plot synopsis (which you can read below) exactly who "Minty" is, but we're pulling for Minty, The Candy Cane Who Briefly Fell On The Ground, a recurring holiday character on Conan. It's hard to imagine that he would be a serious threat for Dredd, but it's amusing to consider how they would work it into the script.

Dredd will be in theaters on September 21.
