Title For New Judge Dredd Movie

IM Global, which is currently selling the upcoming Judge Dredd movie at the Toronto International Film Festival, is referring to the $45 million project as DREDD. Here's the plot synopsis:

"DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl 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. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Pete Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip."

In other DREDD news, actress Olivia Thirlby (Juno) has been cast as Cassandra Anderson, "the telepathic rookie who shadows Dredd."

Pre-production on the film started on August 23 at Cape Town Film Studios in South Africa.

Extra Hurt On Transformers 3 Set In Stable Condition

An extra injured Wednesday on the set of Transformers 3 is said to now be in stable condition after undergoing brain surgery.

24-year old Gabriella Cedillo was checked into the Loyola University Medical Center after the accident.

Cedillo was involved in a car stunt. A driving scene was being shot when the cable that held together the car being filmed and the vehicle carrying the camera snapped, slicing through the Cedillo's car and skull.

Cedillo's car was then dragged along a center divider for about half a mile, banging it up pretty bad.

Police shut down production, but it resumed yesterday.

Tom Cruise To Star In Guillermo del Toro's At The Mountains Of Madness?

Guillermo del Toro is set to direct a film version of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, and he wants Tom Cruise to star.

Cruise and del Toro spoke recently, but it was about doing a Van Helsing movie that never got off the ground. McAvoy and Pine are fairly busy in the near future, so it'll be interesting to see who winds up cast.

Shyamalan Says Unbreakable 2 Story Will Be Used For Third Night Chronicles

M. Night Shyamalan recently revealed to MTV that he plans to use the story for Unbreakable 2 in the third film in his Night Chronicles series (the first of which, Devil, opens September 17th).

"I cannibalized the idea for the sequel to 'Unbreakable' for one of the 'Night Chronicles,'" revealed Shyamalan. "It was such a cool idea for a villain, and it was actually originally in the script for 'Unbreakable,' and it was too much. There were too many villains, so I pulled this villain out and was like, 'I'll make this the second flick.'"

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Being Rewritten To Be More True To The Book

In another interview, Melissa Rosenberg adds that the sex scene between Edward and Bell will not skimp...

""I don't think we'll be toning a whole lot [of the racy scenes] down. We want the eroticism of the sex scenes. That doesn't mean that one has to see it all, but you do want that [eroticism]. With the birth scene as well, I just don't know that you have to tone it down. If you really look at the books, how much are you really seeing? I think [the movies] might wind up being saucier than the book because you're actually seeing skin-on-skin and the horror of the birth scenes. We're not shying away from it."

In related news, Rami Malek (The Pacific has joined the film as Benjamin, an Egyptian vampirewho sides with the Cullens in their battle with the Volturi.

ORIGINAL: Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says that she and director Bill Condon plan to be faithful to the book when shooting Bella's childbirth scene for Breaking Dawn. In a recent interview, Rosenberg had the following to say…

"We're working on it. And we're working on it to be as intense as it is in the book. I don't think it's about the amount of blood you show. It's on their faces. It's all from Bella's point of view when you're seeing what's going [on]. It should feel visceral. I think it's going to be pretty intense."
