If They Make A New Dredd Movie, It Might Be A Prequel
Despite “only” earning $41 million (from a $45 million budget), 2012’s Dredd has a good amount of fans eagerly awaiting a sequel. Lead actor Karl Urban agrees and has been encouraging efforts to push a new film into production. But if that time does come, it may not be a sequel, but a prequel. Speaking at Chicago Comic-Con, Urban suggested that the film might explore how the Judges were established. “It’s more likely that we’ll do the Origins story, with Dredd trekking through the Cursed Earth to find the first Chief Judge Fargo,” Urban said, referring to a 2006 storyline that was meant to tie up various loose threads from previous comics.
Even if we don’t end up getting any more sequels, I’d be more than happy with a prequel. Dredd was a damn fine action film, so as long as the same team returns to make another movie, I’ll be there to see it.
