I haven't been on the forum in ages.
Just wondering where we were at with getting a Dredd sequel?
Already a thread for this (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,34200.12360.html) prominently located in the same 'Film Discussion' sub-forum you just posted to.
TL; DR version: not gonna happen. Let it go.
Cheers

Alex Garland has done a couple of interviews where he says it is very unlikely (at least in the DNA incarnation)

If one does happen, it's unlikely it will be his version and not in the immediate future.

If a future Dredd production isn't a development of the Garland/Urban version, then it's going to be a stretch to call it a sequel, IMO, given the vigour with which we've all protested that Garland/Urban wasn't a sequel to Cannon/Stallone...

Zen and I are doing the euro millions Friday so fingers crossed it'll be green lighted Monday.

Well, reboot/whatever - it depends what the OP defines as a sequel, I think if it was the same lead, people would be more inclined to count it as a sequel, but they wouldn't necessarily be looking for the same writer or director.
There are a lot of hypotheticals, I *still* here sequel mumblings even with what Alex has said, but it's all straw-clutching and speculation IMHO.

Aren't the rights a complete fucking mess, on top of the dismal box office?

Nope. The complete audio and visual rights reside with Rebellion and are currently optioned to DNA Films. All other trademark and copyright rights for Judge Dredd reside with Rebellion.

Cool. My apologies for the lack of clarity — I was specifically talking about the movie distribution rights, which were supposedly spread across multiple companies (understandably) but that these then fed back into potential problems for DNA in getting another movie off the ground since each distributor had effectively taken a financial stake in the first movie. I may have mis-remembered this entirely and couldn't google up anything relevant, hence the question...

Ah, I see - that's not an issue of rights, but of original financing. And the only impact would be that those distributors would be once bitten, twice shy.

Apparently we'll be getting, finally, a steelbook release for the first film.
Any other good news is pretty thin on the ground...
Throw on some new features and remaster the UK print and I might double dip! Pretty awful transfer on the UK disk!
I take it that this release is the same UK disk in a fancy box. >:(
No idea - I don't know whether steelbook releases just use the same disc as the normal one or if they ever create a new disc.
Generally they're just repackaged standard discs, with a few exceptions (Total Recall, Robocop remasters). I expect Dredd will just be the same disc/transfer again.
It's a zavvi steelbook so it will just be the standard disc with new packaging.

Just saw this tweet:

Could there 'finally' be some movement on a sequel to #Dredd?
Well... that's.. a surprise, must not get excited, nor you either, YET! hmm
Rubbish it's never gonna happen(oh please please be true).
Seriously who that person?? And where he/she heard it from??
I follow him on twitter, seems to have a lot of inside knowledge on many projects.
Tantalising though this may be it's properly just someone whose heard a rumour relating to a DREDD sequel playing cryptic messenger.

Alex Garland has explicitly said that if there's ever another Dredd movie, it'll be at some unspecified point in the future and have nothing to do with him or his movie version. I don't know how much clearer he has to be about this.

It seems to me that if we want to see the movie version of Dredd continue it would make more sense to campaign for more comics set in that universe.
Alex Garland may be persuaded to write a synopsis for the cursed earth/dark judges stories which may have made it to the big screen had things turned out differently.
^^^ I like this idea ^^^
For me the two follow up comics have lacked much of a storyline, I've enjoyed them but certainly not wowed by them. I would be very interested to see where the film may have travelled.

That would be my hope too.
With Jock drawing it.
"The reason there wasn't a console and PC Dredd game released alongside the Karl Urban-starring movie reboot is because the timing just wasn't right.
"The problem was the release date of the movie," said Kingsley. "We didn't have the release date to allow us to make a good game. The movie was meant to come out just after the new year and it didn't come out until September. If we had known it was coming out in September we would have had enough time to make a game. We were finishing off some other titles and we just didn't have the space."
Whether Rebellion does make a Judge Dredd game for consoles and PC partly hinges on whether the Dredd movie gets a sequel. Kingsley says there's talks going on "behind the scenes" and there's a fan petition to make that happen. If it does, Rebellion could begin development of the game.
"Yeah. Hopefully we will," said Kingsley of the prospect. "We'll have to find the money to make it. We'd have to be comfortable, we'd have to have spare resources. But yeah, we're very interested."

I thought the sequel rumours were all done and dusted! Well that's sounds intriguing though I suspect it's more a what if they did another film we'd do a game scenario.
Looking forward to Zombie 3. Perhaps a Nazi Judge Death could 'guest' star in a DLC! Well just a suggestion. ;)
