Karl Urban has revealed that a sequel to 2012’s Dredd is “not off the agenda”, despite the comic book adaption only raking in $35million worldwide against a budget of $45million.
The first film recieved mostly positive reviews but failed to attract a mainstream audience.
Director Peter Travis and screenwriter Alex Garland brought the character into modern times with a gritty actioner set in ‘MegaCity-One’, a dystopian city on America’s east coast. It also starred Olivia Thirlby and Lena Heady.
Speaking to collider.com, Urban (who played the titular judge, jury and executioner) has this to say:
“Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning. It’s not off the agenda. Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it. It’s entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen. The power of fandom can resurrect projects. In fact, that’s what happened with Star Trek. They weren’t going to do a third season until fans did a letter writing campaign and they continued that series.”
