Judge Dredd Cries for His Mama
?So Lena Headey — known for being naked and tough in 300, just tough in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and very likely naked and devious as Cersei in the upcoming Game of Thrones show — has been cast as the villain in that Karl Urban-starring Judge Dredd movie. Apparently, she’ll be playing Madeline Madrigal, better known as Ma-Ma. I’ve never heard of this character. In fact, when I did a Google Image Search for “dredd ma-ma” nothing really came up, so I used this picture of Headey crawling on a table instead. Can any of you Dredd fans tll me who the hell “Ma-Ma” is? And if Lena Headey is good casting or not? (Via Nerd Bastards)
