Dredd (2012)

[Stan]

As expected, it's being picked up elsewhere. Any buzz can only assist the self-fulfilling prophecy effect (if only in a small way).

Just from the comments since the DVD release it's pretty obvious Dredd 2 would have a bigger audience than the first film. Though I understand that it's still a gamble at this point.

And to stick with the cat theme..

Would also like to point out that, if Dredd 2 is in the Cursed Earth, Urban's already cosplayed it.  Just need a little cg-over and some dubbin

Great comments on the link!

Lots of it on Twitter, and most sites pick it up, as SFX does now;

The Dredd movie may have failed to set the box office alight, but there's a hell of lot of love out there for the second big screen outing of 2000 AD's favourite son. Now Screen Rant is reporting that star Karl Urban had told the audience at the Destination Star Trek event in Frankfurt that "conversations" are taking place about a sequel. Apparently DVD sales have been robust enough to make the financial backers at Lionsgate think that a return to Mega City One could happen. One to file under "wait and see" for now, but it's the most promising news we've heard about a sequel.

Hell yes, there isn't a more rich wealth of awesome material to adapt than Dredd. A sequel is inevitable and necessary for all citizens!

Come on the day it happens, the 2012 movie brought hundreds like me back to the prog, think of what a sequel would do! Z

I was in the same position. I was a regular reader for about three years in the early nineties but walked away just as Inferno was beginning. The fact that I am here and my shelves are now groaning under the weight of Judge Dredd and JD-related trades is all down to the Dredd movie. I need more movie Dredd. I want other people to want movie Dredd.

Underbelly really helps too...

Shows the interest is still there.

Good point Bat King. I started to buy the Meg on a regular basis because of Underbelly. That is something that I have always shied away from due to the relatively high price and the fact that it is bagged (and therefore I can't see what I am buying.)

It's not just that the big guns are hyping this news, it's that the comments section on AICN - the domain of the snarky - have nothing but love for Dredd. Good signs.
