Pics from the Premiere of DREDD 3D!

It's been about six hours since DREDDs bombastic credits were thrust into the faces of a ravenous Midnight Madness audience in glorious 3D, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'm still reeling from the experience.  Copious blood, gore, and absolutely intense action were served up with a heaping side of justice - this was exactly the thing to wash the taste of that other Dredd film out of your mouth after all these years.

Official Midnight Madness photog and the hardest-working shutterbug at The Festival, Ian Goring was back this year to shoot all the action!

Justice has never been so popular. These folks stuck it out despite a delayed start time (thanks for nothing, Jack Kerouac!)

Let's just say that no shenanigans were going to happen at the Ryerson with these guys keeping watch.

This week on American Chopper - "I AM THE LAW!"

Programmer Colin Geddes with DREDD director Pete Travis.

Writer Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine) mean muggin'.

DREDD himself, Karl Urban, casts a formidable shadow over the red carpet
(not pictured: carpet).

"So, who's your favourite glitchy dance act, Mr Urban?"
"JUSTICE, motherfucker!"

A night of firsts! Programmer Colin Geddes introduces the first film at Midnight Madness 2012,
and it's also the first 3D film in the programme!

Director Peter Travis talks about how to make an exploding face look beautiful
(spoiler: it does).

What else can we say? Karl Urban is THE MAN.

Writer Alex Garland explains an unintentional reference to Blade Runner.

Karl Urban signs one of the cooler pieces of memorabilia to grace Midnight Madness.

A Judge in Training!
