DREDD Sequel Rumour

DREDD Sequel Rumour

Following DREDD's disappointing box-office after its short theatrical run last September, all went quiet until January of this year when the film's spike in retail sales showed signs of life. Questions began to be asked about a possible sequel.

Rumours and hearsay have floated round the web-o-tron for the last few months about whether such a thing as a DREDD sequel was possible, but things gained momentum during the Star Trek Into Darkness press tour when Karl Urban diplomatically answered a question as to the titular character's cinematic fate:

“Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning. It’s not off the agenda. Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it. It’s entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen. The power of fandom can resurrect projects. In fact, that’s what happened with Star Trek. They weren’t going to do a third season until fans did a letter writing campaign and they continued that series.”

Now a new rumour has reared its head on the 'Make a DREDD Sequel' facebook page:

If it does happen, I can't wait for Lionsgate to poorly market the sequel. :D

Maybe they'll show a TV Spot six months before it's release and then kill all other forms of marketing.

Yeaaaah... I'm still sore in the anus area after they [frick]ed up the marketing of Dredd and Conan the barbarian so badly.

DREDD was the golden tomb of perfection and entertainment that was buried under bad marketing and...well yea thats basically what happened. Bring on the sequel, market it better, and you will make back your money this time!

The marketing was pretty good in the UK, plenty of TV ads and billboards. I think it even reached number 1 in the box office here for a bit

they made like $131,124 in my country. Still, not bad considering almost everyone here hate 3D.

@batz

it's good. Nice throwback to gritty 70's/80's action movies. Basically it's Die Hard + Magnum Force (+ The Enforcer) with some SF elements

Would love to see a sequel and how they would debut the Dark Judges as the director said before he'd have planned :]

It's simple..DREDD was a cool R-rated action movie that's deserving of more films.

I don't give a shit about girly Twilight,Harry Potter,Hunger Games movies & how many fans they have or money they make.

Give real men the badass action movies they want..MORE DREDD!

this movie deserves a sequel the reboot was pretty good i enjoyed it a lot!!! basic action movie but it was fun! wit the slow motion wit the drugs etc..
and i agree with him let our voices be heard!!
all these damn movies getting sequels is a damn shame...percy jackson...like really??..why??
such a waste!! lol....
DEADPOOL!...us fans have been wanting and waiting and letting our voice be heard on that movie but still nothing cuz FOX or whoever has the rights is worried bout the R rated which i think is shit!
