Just yesterday we heard that over the weekend at Comic-Con, Karl Urban urged fans to push for a sequel to the 2012 action film Dredd, an entertaining reboot that has since become a bit of a cult classic, despite not making back its budget at the box office.
Lionsgate has kept quiet on the sequel front and even though the film sold very well on DVD/Blu-Ray, we still have no green light for another Dredd film. It seems that people just won’t let the idea of a Dredd sequel die though as 2000AD, the publisher of the Judge Dredd comic, have launched a campaign that includes a petition for fans to sign if they want to see Dredd 2, or whatever it may be called.
Personally, I thought Dredd was a lot of fun and re-introduced the character in an effective way. Karl Urban was excellent in the role and despite a few shortcomings, I found the film to be quite enjoyable. I’m all for a sequel and would love to see one come to fruition, let’s hope that Lionsgate takes notice of the petition.
