Dredd Petitions and other means of fighting for a sequel

Incidentally, if any of you are sharing the link to the Amazon Blu-Ray copy on Facebook, and stating it is £7, it no longer is:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008OGHUFK/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=tsm_1_fb_lk

The price has more than doubled! My guess is Amazon have run out of their own supply, and have turned to a third party to fulfil orders.  Unfortunately that third party is charging a price more akin to regular 3D Blu-Rays.

Bah!

Amazon usually ping-pong their in-stock prices for certain periods; if only a third party can supply it they state it.

It's like a whore's knickers. When it starts to slip down the chart I think some scrote pulls the cheap-lever.

Amazon should promote the bluray as the first disc whose price point illustrates the phenomenon of quantum entanglement.

Just a little something to promote the facebook campaign for a sequel

[The Sherman Kid]

Good work.Interesting title -what would you call the third one  .

Anyone had any replies to their correspondence?

[alyd]

Ta. If we don't have to fight so hard for a third I'd call it DREDD AND LOVING IT

[shaolin_monkey]

Anyone had any replies to their correspondence?

Nothing so far.

Nothing so far. 

You're so negative... ;-)

We all know the right title for a sequel to get the masses queuing around the street for tickets has to be "Dreddful Weather: Judge Dredd vs. Carl Heinz Pilchards-in-Tomato-Sauce Clayderman".

It also has the advantage that the title will take up the entire poster so you don't have to come up with some kind of interesting image that has almost nothing to do with the content of the film.

We all know the right title for a sequel

If there is to be a second one (and we all hope and/or pray there will), it should be titled Dredd Reckoning and go with the Cursed Earth story angle (and no bloody 3-D this time!), that way it could be done for about $40m... you have Cape Town and Jo'Burg for the scenes set in the Big Meg and the neighboring desert wastelands of Namibia for the Cursed Earth scenes, plus a return to the hallowed soundstages of Cape Town Studios for the set-based work!

Once Mr Garland is finished on Ex Machina, get going on the Dredd sequel... with the guy who directed 28 Days Later in the director's chair this time!

[Beaky Smoochies]

... oops, meant 28 Weeks Later  there, ...Days... was obviously Sir Daniel of Boyle, and after THAT Olympics opening ceremony, keep 'im the hell away from Dredd, 'nuff said.

You must be hawking those old screenplays for Shoreline Entertainment :




JUDGE DREDD: DREDD RECKONING
In Pre-Production

Mega-City One, a vast American sprawl in the year 2070, is a city spiraling out of control and drowning in corruption. In the skies, on the streets and in the illegal mutant ghettoes of the ancient Under-City below ground, crime fades into the shadows of a forgotten world.

Policed by "the Judges," a breed of man genetically developed to impose the law and keep the peace, Judge Dredd is the toughest, meanest, and straightest Mega-city cop who operates as instant judge, jury and executioner. Cloned form the original Chief Judge's DNA, Judge Dredd is the definitive lawman. Dedicated to justice, his determination knows no limits. On his word alone any law-breaking citizen can be sentenced to twenty years in the Time Stretcher or a lifetime in the bleak penal colony of Titan.

Yet, after a lifetime on the streets, Judge Dredd, the grand man of the Justice Department, has started to lose faith in the system, which created him. The never-ending corruption, lawless inhabitants and immoral lifestyle are taking their toll. Fearing the Justice Department cannot afford to lose its most legendary figurehead, Chief Judge Silver reads Dredd's frustration and takes action. Ordering a 24-hour news blackout Silver sets Dredd up as the fall guy and has him sentenced to 20 years of solitary confinement in Titan.

Meanwhile, Cadet Judge Kraken, a clone taken from the same DNA as Dredd and every bit the equal of Dredd, is secretly ordered to take on Dredd's identity. As far as the citizens are to know, there will still be a Judge Dredd on the streets of Mega-City One.

Believing Judge Dredd to be guilty and yet filled with unrequited love for him. Dredd's long time female partner Judge Hershey wants to personally deliver Dredd to Titan. Hershey deports Dredd to a strange, alien world where colonists from earth scrape out a meager existence.

As the spaceship lands, a saboteur strikes on board and the ship is destroyed. Leaving Titan is now harder than ever and Titan is not an easy place to live. But if anyone can survive the hostile unchartered area known as the Wilderlands, it is Judge Dredd.

Meanwhile Kraken, under the guise of Judge Dredd, has been enjoying the benefits of corruption in the shady Under-City community. Using the ghettoes as a front for Umpty (illegal, addictive candy) factors and the mutants as free labour, Kraken is severely damaging Dredd's perfect reputation.

One hundred days later, still in the Wilderlands, Dredd and Hershey successfully set up small fighting units to defeat the countless attacks from sinister forces. Mending his relationship with Hershey, Dredd now finds a way for them to flee. Barely escaping with their lives, they return to Mega-City One where Dredd must now clean up the corrupt city and quickly face his most lethal foe. Himself.

Even without 3D I think they'd need more than $40 million for a sequel- $60 million was the estimate. There's a certain expectation that comes with a second film after the set-up of the first.

As for Namibia, filming there has a certain infamy, ask MichaelVK (or Richard Stanley & George Miller).
