Last summer’s Dredd has found a passionate and loyal group of fans who would love to see Karl Urban don the famous helmet again.
Urban told fans at last weekend’s Comic Con that they should consider letting Lionsgate know about their desire. Citing the Blu-Ray and DVD sales an indication of fan interest, Urban told fans “the more people that campaign for it, the more people that email, Twitter and write into Lionsgate and say ‘we want to see more of this,’ then the more likelihood that we’ll get to see that.”
The encouragement has led Rebellion, who publishes the Dredd comics, to start an online petition to bring the character back to the silver screen.
They’ve launched an online campaign focused around a Facebook page and petition — “the only OFFICIAL petition,” it explains — to try and force the issue.
According to Rebellion, more than 10,000 people have signed the petition to date, with more than 30,000 people “liking” the Facebook page.
