Karl Urban Fuels Talk Of Dredd 2

 

Karl Urban kept those persistent Dredd 2 rumours burning bright over the weekend, with the actor revealing his interest in launching a sequel via Netflix or Amazon. Responding to one fan’s Tweet, Urban conceded that there’s a gold mine of Awesome Mega City 1 stories still to be told. The mock up image in question imagined a follow-up to 2012’s Dredd taking the form of a Netflix series, an idea that Karl Urban is firmly behind.


It’s the one sequel that wears its never-say-die attitude firmly on its sleeve – somewhere slightly above the badge that brandishes Karl Urban’s faceless law enforcer as judge, jury and executioner – even leading to a grassroots petition to spin out a TV series rooted in the Dredd universe.


Much of that response came after Alex Garland, who served as screenwriter on the cult actioner, revealed that a movie sequel is all but out of the question, lending those ardent fans some hope either Netflix or Amazon Prime could hatch a pay-to-view TV series. For now, the proposition of a Dredd 2 remains unlikely. Even still, Karl Urban’s unyielding support remains the sequel’s trump card, and the possibility that Netflix and/or Amazon stands up and takes notice of this renewed wave of interest isn’t exactly out of the question.
