Karl Urban doing a reading of Dredd America

[Dash Decent]

Kudos to Karl!  What a great sport.  I love that he just went with it and didn't say "oh that's just some job I did in the past."

And thank you mimikeke for thinking of it, and for actually doing it.  Are you just reading Dredd through trades, or have you got hold of some old progs?  Have you read any other 2000AD stories?

What we need now is a list of Dredd bits we want Karl to read, a roster of who has to get what and a list of Karl's future appearances.  We'll have the audio Case Files done in no time.

I love it when a plan comes together!

I've bought quite a few issues myself, read some online. My fiance's cousin apparently bids on storage in Cincinnati Ohio (like in Storage Wars) and one storage unit had boxes and boxes and boxes of old 2000AD issues!  Pretty excited to see what's in there.

I've asked Adi Shankar to take a look at the Dredd America reading, he's expressed interest in making a Dredd one-shot in the past (he worked on the movie and also has made a TON of good Marvel shorts).

Karl is doing a TON of cons in the US, people could definitely arrange for some more readings

Apparently his Dredd-fan-film is a third of the way done.

Awesome!! My only regret now is not telling Karl to command everyone to sign the petition :p

[TordelBack]

That made me tummy go all funny.  Well done Mimi!

[Spaceghost]

Brilliant! Karl is such a good sport and you can see the love he has for Dredd.

Well done mimikeke!

[von Boom]

Huzzah to Karl! The push for a sequel takes another step forward.

[judgerussell]

He is a top bloke!!

There is a moment of genuine excitement when he realises its America he's been asked to read.

Very cool.

I want to see him and Brian Blessed read The Howler.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I want to see him and Brian Blessed read The Howler.

This will have to do for now

[judgerussell]

I love that fat beardy git.

Brian Blessed is cool too.

I asked Karl Urban to read it  

Brilliant stuff mimikeke, and kudos to Karl for being such a top sport. 

[The Bissler]

Yep, that was absolutely inspired asking Karl Urban to read that particular passage!  So nice to see on here that I wasn't the only one who was grinning when he read that!

Thank you once again, it made my day! 

[Andrew_J]

Well done for asking him to do it and fair play to him for stepping up and doing it too.

Some more images of Karl being a good sport, if you guys haven't been following any of the con stuff being posted.  Sorry for large images, I linked from a cosplay tumblr.

Him coming out with the cosplay judges and telling them they're a pass



Haha look at his face in this one


at signings




A crossover helmet from Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Dredd that was given to him as a gift.

Oh that's sooooo awesome!!
