A first look at Olivia Thirlby in "Dredd" has been unleashed in a photo that will appear in "Heroes of 2012" issue of Empire magazine. A scan of the image hits the web, presenting the "Juno" actress as Judge Cassandra Anderson. She's sporting blond hair and wearing a full costume, looking fierce holding a machine gun.

Along with Thirlby's first look, the magazine also published other images that include a clear look at a villainous character, clan leader Madeline Madrigal a.k.a Ma-Ma, played by Lena Headey. Also featured in the images are Karl Urban's Judge Dredd and Langley Kirkwood's Judge Lex.

"Dredd" follows the titular character who is the most feared judge among other elite Street Judges in Mega City One. He has the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot if necessary. The movie is directed by Pete Travis, with Alex Garland providing the script. This remake film will hit U.S. theaters on September 21, 2012.
