The 2012 Dredd has a sad but not unheard-of tale. It has a passionate fan base, it was a great movie, but it didn’t bring in hefty amounts at the box office. With a gross in domestic theaters of 13.4 million dollars, the numbers alone weren’t enough to automatically get a green light on a sequel. However, fans want one, and so does Karl Urban. Dredd himself recently made an appearance at Emerald City Comicon, and he took a minute to ask for help.
He encouraged fans to sign an online petition requesting a Dredd sequel. There’s a Facebook page titled “Make a Dredd Sequel” that was created in January 2013, and it’s not a bad place to add your voice as well. Listen to what Urban has to say:
He expresses gratitude from himself and director Alex Garland and reassures fan they’re working hard on their end, too. He says the support really does help, and in a world where fans recently made a Veronica Mars movie possible, I believe his claim. At the very least, it doesn’t hurt to try.

Come on make it happen love dredd movie and books
I want another Dredd movie. It was an amazing film. I watched it twice in theaters.
One of the BEST comic book movies ever made. Heck yes for a sequel!
Karl Urban was a B.A. Dredd. It totally deserves a sequal.
One of the coolest parts is that it never shows his face. Just that badass scowl.
They’re actually trying to stick close to the comics, unlike the campy adaptions of the 90s. Bring on the cyberpunk! I want another Dredd.
This is one of my favorite movies! Please give us another!
Indeed! Dredd kicked ass, and a sequel wouldn’t have to be horribly expensive… Google ‘youtube judge minty’…
Please make another one. Dredd was one of the best Sci-Fi movies in years.
Need more Dredd!
Most bada$$ Sci-Fi action thriller in the last twenty years. I really enjoyed the dark setting with justice being served through the relentless Dredd.
