    Dredd: Mega City One

    In spite of its $35 million worldwide haul, fans are still keen on seeing a sequel to 2012’s “Dredd,” the Karl Urban-led film adaptation of the “Judge Dredd” comics. Urban himself has said on a number of occasions it could happen some day, others involved have been as hopeful but more realistic about the likelihood […]


    Karl Urban has said that if a sequel moves ahead to Dredd it's becoming more and more likely that it will instead be a prequel that charts the origins of the character as he travels through the Cursed Earth in search of the first Chief Judge.

    Throughout Dredd, I was thinking "Oh, I wish this was a origin story".

    Now all my wildest dreams are coming into fruition!
    Well, it's better than nothing, I guess.

        I thought the chance of a sequel was practically zero?

          Origin story....zzzz.

          Dredd was great because it didn't get bogged down. It was a thrill ride. Meh.

            I'm wondering if this has been misinterpreted to some extent. Or did I miss where Urban himself said it might be a prequel? In context, the origins story doesn't appear to refer to being a prequel as far as I can see or even charting an origins story in the way a superhero first movie does an origins story. Dredd is Dredd but the plot elements he appears to be referencing are more about discoveries about the origin of the Judges through a story and, in turn, finding out stuff about Dredd himself. This happened in several stories in the comics, none of which were prequels if I remember correctly (albeit with a bunch of flashbacks as revelations were discovered).

            Edit: Actually looking up the story called Origins which Urban seems to be referring to and, to be honest, I don't really remember it at all. I remember bits but I might have got those from other Dredd stories around this one.

              Could be, in the magical place of my mind the idea of a sequel which sees Dredd sent out post-Mama to find the first Judge and in doing so discovering his origins is more interesting than a vanilla prequel. Plus he can keep his helmet on

                So the allure of dredd is him squashing drug kingpins and crime in the future and being a brutal law enforcement juggernaut.

                Here we will see dredd in a desert looking for some dude?

                Entire concept of what it's about seems to have been missed here.

                  A pretty significant chunk of Dredd has been him in the desert looking for some dude/perp/dune shark/giant spider... One of my favourites was the 'dead man' prologue to necropolis. If anybody is missing the concept I don't think it's them...

                    Yep, some of the Cursed Earth stories have been excellent. Although a huge part of me thinks a primary reason they've worked is that they prevent Mega-City One overkill and, after just one movie, I don't know if Dredd has yet earned a Cursed Earth trip. We've just seen one day on the job so far.

                      They should do it only if it ends in Judge Death appearing... Whatever the storyline

                          This thread gives me the excuse I've been looking for to post this pic - it was either this or the smiles thread..

                              Still keen on the idea of a sequel to 2012’s “Dredd”? You may get it, but not in the way you expect. The Wrap reports that executive producer Adi Shankar has been at work on creating a top-secret “Dredd” spin-off online web series which is due to be released online for free later this month. […]
