So it looks like the speculative talk has started again following an interview in which Karl Urban said talks were happening about bringing a Dredd sequel to production.
Much has been made of the hash job that was the marketing prior to the films cinematic release, which was the films ultimate downfall. Then came the fans, who propelled the film up the DVD sales and download charts. Something that I'm sure would give any potential investors pause for thought. DVD and Blu Ray sales alone have brought in half of what the film made at the box office....worldwide!
It's no surprise then that talks are ongoing. What is important is that the people with the money, who make the decisions see that the strong following isn't going anywhere. There are several ways you can do this:
- If you haven't already, buy a copy of the film! Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital, whichever.
- Buy a copy of the one-shot follow up comic. Let's send a clear message that we want to see more Dredd. Go to your local comic book store, or pick up a digital copy from Amazon.
- Sign the petition: http://2000adonline.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a6e40236aa24d482cfff600d2&id=62906ebdcc Let the decision makers see just how many people want to see a sequel get made.
I don't want to live in a world where rubbish franchise after rubbish franchise can get churned out at the cinema.
I want to live in a world where the public can speak up, the fans can be heard, and we can see a great character brought back to the big screen where he belongs!!
