There have been numerous fan petitions over the years calling for a sequel, most notably “Bring Back Dredd,” which gathered more than 300,000 signatures. Now rumors are pointing to a sequel actually being greenlit and ready for release in 2024. Let us not forget that the screenplay was written by Alex Garland, a screenwriter who burst into the directorial scene in 2015 with “Ex-Machina.” I also can’t fail to mention Karl Urban (“Star Trek Beyond) who played a great, nasty hero as the titular character. Curiously, a few years ago, Urban had confirmed to JoBlo, that director Peter Travis didn’t direct the film and that it actually was Garland himself who took the reigns during the troubled production. However, all signs seem to be pointing towards Garland not returning for the sequel. “Dredd” was a reboot of “Judge Dredd,” a terrible ‘90s action movie starring Sylvester Stallone. What we got instead with 2012’s “Dredd” was a visionary film. Paul Leonard’s exalting techno soundtrack gave the film an avant-garde edginess that fit perfectly with the dark atmosphere. This was a statement that felt incredibly singular in its vision. Contribute Hire me
