Dredd (2012)

[Richmond Clements]

Upon meeting Karl, I had to ask, "Is there a possibility of maybe getting to see the dark judges in Dredd 2 or beyond?" He stopped what he was doing, and it was evident I struck the geek mark because his eyes lit up and he smiled as he answered, "Why yes, there is a definite possibility. But, it is more likely that we will do the origins story with Dredd trekking through the cursed earth to find the first Chief Judge Fargo."

Awesome, Karl knew what story he want to do on Dredd 2, the Origins

[IndigoPrime]

In other words, still following the line Garland suggested.

[Stan]

Yeah, same line, basically. Though at least it's not yet being dismissed. I'll take that as a green light. #Clint4Fargo

[Stan]

Let's get that trending.

#Clint4Fargo

I like that!
However I reckon Clint would push the budget up somewhat...

[Stan]

That's two.

Maybe his name power would compensate with a few extra million quid thrown on the Budget. Just get Toby Stephens to play young Clint again.

The chance of Old Man Clint is a big fat zero, but even if a mythical sequel were to ever arise, I'd hope they wouldn't repeat another of the 95 film's mistakes: having clones that look nothing like their original - and vice versa.

Another article about Origins rumour.

And Clint is "too on the nose" as you put it. Why not Urban in both roles - in aged up make-up? He can do all that, an excellent actor.

Some mention of a prequel...hmm. But then no Anderson, and is she not just as important in these films? If there was a mini-series she might not be, other aspects of city etc could be explored.

Nah I think people got messed up with 'origin' story rather than the story 'Origins'

[dweezil2]

Yeah, I think the prequel announcement is a misconception!
Didn't Urban state in interviews that Origins was one of his favourite stories and was ripe for adaptation?

[Goaty]

Now Empire;

[Bubba Zebill]

Origin and Origins...of course, that makes more sense.

[Jim_Campbell]

Amusingly, Empire repeats the error that the comicbook.com article made and then corrected, confusing "origins" with "Origins" and claiming Dredd 2 would be a prequel.

Edit: Never mind — for some reason my browser was displaying this thread as of about 40 minutes ago so I didn't see that this had already been covered until after I clicked 'post' and the thread magically updated.
