This is how I'd like to be watching Dredd next time...
60 inches? Pah! Last time I was in John Lewis they were selling this at just under £100 an inch!
We never really die.

The selling point is surely "... play the smash hit Angry Birds...".

pfft don't be silly, next thing you'll be telling me is that people would buy a particular insurance policy simply to get a cheap stuffed toy!  :lol:

Its getting a lot of attention on various FB sites.

Karl sums it well when he says a lot of people have 'discovered' Dredd on DVD.The marketing for the theatrical release wasn't as impactful as it should have been, but having said that Dredd as a property is now definately more widely known than before and has put some distance over the 95 debacle with many.

With its star publically proclaiming a willingness to return and with comic adaptations a regular stable in the theatres, as well as the mistakes made with the previous release widely recognised and ackowledged its not impossible that some exec somewhere may take another look at Dredd.

To date do we know where we are with the figures -total revenue received for Dredd cinema,dvd, blueray etc?

Never say die, stranger things have happened.

With the best will in the world, that is pretty much exactly what I would expect him to say if someone asked him about a sequel. He's just being diplomatic.

Last I heard was in February, and it was still a long way from breaking even. Like radiator said, this is Urban being diplomatic. There's is zero chance we're going to see this version of Dredd again on the big screen, unless some total nutcase super-rich Dredd fan funds it. Shiny disc sales would have had to have been astronomical to nudge that needle, rather than merely surprisingly good. (Think of it like Serenity—that sold by the bucketload too, but that movie had no chance of a sequel either.)

Or a number of modestly payed total nutcase Dredd fans? :P

Give it as much credence as Pete Travis saying he'd hope there would be a sequel.

It's Karl's way of saying 'Dredd is with the Angels now' and just being a nice guy about it.

In reality, not a hope.

Hooold the LIIIIIIIIINE.

Please Grud, let's not do this again...
