Dredd (2012)

[Woolly]

Something for the naysayers to dig into. http://sciencefiction.com/2016/06/20/denver-comic-con-2016-karl-urban-confirms-judge-dredd-2/

Considering the article doesn't quote exactly what Karl Urban has said, I'm going to assume that no deal has been made and that any possible distributor is just wanting to know more about what they would be distributing.

Also..

You heard that right. Or at least, they are developing the story for it. After that, they are determining the right platform, be it Netflix, Amazon, a TV Series, or another movie.

..suggests to me that any Dredd sequel/series is still only at the pitching stage, and definately hasn't been picked up by any network/studio.

Annoyingly, all this now makes me a nay-sayer! Bah!

Really? Someone, somewhere, is working on a treatment for a script? Christ, it could be Scojo.

Mind you, I'll say this: I'm cool with a Scojo penned Dredd sequel IF we can also get a new Star Wars movie by that CyberMaster MkIII or whatever his name was - you know, the guy who had the 'exclusive info' on all the as-then-unmade Star Wars movies circa the early 2000s. They all ended with the arch baddie being sliced in half lengthways with a lightsaber, and certainly were NOT his own fan fiction.

(One of them even killed off Han Solo, if I remember right. What a GREAT idea that was!)

I'm still waiting for the mega bucks blockbuster of Django Zoom: The Straightener (that was the name wasn't it?)

Dredd sequel news is like catnip to me!

Bring it on!

Dredd 2 rumours are only ever going to be rumours...

We'll know it is on  (if it ever is) by the source we hear it from. After all at the moment it is Rebellion in charge of it. Pretty sure they will give an exclusive out to one of the sites they trust as soon as there is news - then put out a Press Release.

I certainly won't get the exclusive but I will get the Press Release (assuming I am home). ECBT2000AD will get that too. So that's at least two sites run by Forum members that'll be publishing real news.

Then there is the fact that Michael Molcher will put an Announcement up on the Forum...

In the mean time rely on Jim Campbell and Joe Soap to shoot down any loony toon rumours.

Of course I am sadly waiting patiently hoping for a rumour that sounds real...

I just remembered that bluemeanie isn't active on here these days. Several of the contributors to ECBT are though so I guess my original point remains the same...

[James Stacey]

Early stages is still progress. It's gone from 'never going to happen' to 'we want it to happen' to 'it could happen'. In development means someone somewhere is paying for a treatment at least. I'm going to continue seeing this as a positive step

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I'm in the positive camp, as we're on the first step of a very long road.

We are 1% of the way to seeing Dredd back on the screen and that makes me happy

Urban on Twitter 10 mins ago...

Dredd update : Unfortunately a sequel is no closer to happening , options have been discussed but there is no sequel in " development " .

[James Stacey]

This news makes me unhappy. Bring me better news

[Goaty]

Ha I was tweet him last night, that's nice reply. I expect that to happens, as he only not involve in pre-productions as for story writing, budget, planning. As he will be busy at moment with Thor 3 filming (his beard give you a clue!) he know it will happens. Keep positive, if rush it up, it would be soulless sequel. It can happens.

Ah well..bonfire pissed on

It's really best not to get excited about a sequel until you are sitting down in the cinema about to watch it. Up until that point, don't believe it's  happening.

Or sat infront of the tube watching it on Netflix or Amazon Prime!!!!

I'd hope the director wouldn't take that approach.

Anyway if Karl's not up for it, sure we can make do.
