JUDGE DREDD: MEGA-CITY ONE TV Series In The Works; Check Out The First Promotional Poster
Dredd may not be getting a movie sequel, but it's just been announced that a new TV series based on exploits of the double-tough lawman is on the way from IM Global Television. More past the jump.
Fans were devastated to hear that Karl Urban wouldn't be returning to play Judge Dredd in a sequel to 2012's Dredd, but it's just been announced that a new Judge Dredd: Mega-City One TV show is in the works from IM Global and independent U.K. games developer, Rebellion.
There are no names attached to star or direct just yet, but we do have a synopsis courtesy of EW:
Judge Dredd: Mega-City One is set in a future where the East Coast of the U.S. has become a crowded and crime-ridden megalopolis. It will be an ensemble drama about a team of Judges — futuristic cops invested with the power to be judge, jury, and executioner — as they deal with the challenges the future-shocked 22nd century throws at them.
The series will be produced by IM Global Television president Mark Stern, CEO Stuart Ford, and Rebellion's Jason and Chris Kingsley, who along with Ford were also executive producers on Dredd.
While it's a shame we most likley won't be seeing ol' lantern jaw bash perps on the big screen again, Judge Dredd: Mega-City One definitely sounds like it has potential. What do you guys think?
