DREDD: Olivia Thirlby On Playing Judge Anderson, & What She'd Like To See In A Sequel

"Well, I’m completely obsessed with her, and that’s been my favorite part actually, of promoting this film, is realizing that I’m completely obsessed with this character. She is literally my dream role. I can’t imagine anyone cooler [laughs] than Anderson! I think, for me, the essence of the character was making her psychic abilities part of her entire essence, and part of her experience of being alive. And to take it seriously and treat it not as some comic book superpower, and treat it as a rather believable phenomena that does exist in the world. I came up with the ways by which I thought that she was sensitive and how she perceives things, and what exactly is going down inside her head, and how she knows that Dredd is angry and in control, but there’s something else… all this stuff.

"Oh my goodness, fingers crossed tightly for the sequel. You know, I would love to see her come up against some of the Dark Judges, Judge Death. I think especially because she is an atypical judge, and because she is an extraordinary judge. It would be really interesting to see her come up against other judges who are different in that way."
