While the Judge Dredd reboot Dredd wasn’t a huge hit at the box-office, the film has found a second life on DVD and Blu-Ray. It’s a big enough second life that actor Karl Urban says fans shouldn’t give up on a Dredd sequel.
“Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning. It’s not off the agenda,” he tells Collider. “Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it. It’s entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen. The power of fandom can resurrect projects. In fact, that’s what happened with Star Trek. They weren’t going to do a third season until fans did a letter writing campaign and they continued that series.”
Urban says the best thing fans can do is keep asking for a sequel to the film.
I’m so glad to hear this. I just re-watched this movie a couple of days ago and I still love it. It’s definitely a much better movie than it got credit for and Karl is PERFECT as Dredd. I’ll start agitating for a sequel right now! Who’s with me?!?
