We might not get a Dredd sequel with Karl Urban any time soon, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy this insanely good fan-made short film that takes us back into Mega City. The film is called Judge Minty, and it comes from director Steven Sterlacchini. Judge Minty is an aged character in the universe. The short features him taking the Long Walk and includes his first encounters in the Cursed Earth. The film is almost 30-minutes long, and you're going to love it!
Judge William Minty has spent his entire adult life policing the violent streets of Mega-City One - and now he's slowing down. When a lapse of judgement almost ends his life, he knows that it's time to quit. He can choose to teach in the Academy, or he can leave the city and walk alone out into the anarchy of the Cursed Earth, taking law to the lawless. »

Karl Urban's "Dredd" reboot hit theaters in September and went on to gross only $32 million globally on a $50 million budget. Sequel plans were immediately cancelled and the studio began auctioning off props and costumes to recoup some of the costs. But in a new interview with Urban, the actor revealed that a sequel is still being considered. "Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with [writer] Alex Garland this morning. It's not off the agenda," he said. "Clearly everyone has woken up to the fact that an audience has found this movie and loves it. [A sequel is] entirely possible, and if people want to see another installment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen." Garland previously spoke about his ideas for potential sequels, stating: "If they want to make sequels, I've got a story that goes from this one into the origins of Dredd and the city. Then the »

With J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness now playing around the world, we recently landed an exclusive phone interview with Karl Urban. During the interview, he talked about making the sequel, his reaction to reading the script, how things changed on set, who was the one who broke the most while filming, filming with IMAX cameras, the 3D, and more. He also talked about the possibility of a Dredd sequel, his upcoming Fox TV show Almost Human, and The Loft. Hit the jump for what he had to say. Question: I’m doing great. How are you? Karl Urban: I’m doing great. I just watched your reaction to the movie this morning, which I just loved. You guys really seemed to enjoy it. Yeah. You could say that. Urban: Yeah, yeah. That’s great.

Last year, director Peter Travis and screenwriter Alex Garland brought Judge Dredd fans a cool hard-r take on the character to the big screen called Dredd. The movie turned out to be great. For the most part, fans were happy with what the movie had to offer. It got positive reviews, but for some reason general audiences didn't embrace it. $45 million was spent making the film. Unfortunately, it only made $35.6 million worldwide. Because of that, I thought for sure that the prospect for a sequel was dead and buried. Apparently that's not the case! In a recent interview with Collider, Karl Urban revealed that there's still hope for Dredd 2!

Many people found it disheartening that last year's Dredd, starring Karl Urban, didn't do the business that would guarantee it a sequel. With a modest (for this genre) budget of $45 million, the comic book film grossed only $36 million. Sad times indeed.
It did however receive generally positive reviews and fans of the comic (plus Dredd co-creator Jon Wagner) appreciated it. When this was mentioned to Urban in an interview whilst doing the rounds for Star Trek Into Darkness, he had this to say:
“Interestingly enough I did have breakfast with [producer and writer] 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 instalment then they should be vocal about that, because, it can happen. The power of fandom can resurrect projects. In fact, »

It seems as though all hope is not lost for a sequel to "Dredd 3D." Due to a continued interest in the film, star Karl Urban said a "Dredd 2" is now more likely than ever.
"Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with ["Dredd" writer] 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," Urban told Collider. "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."
Of course, "Dredd" already has a sequel of sorts. A graphic novel from 2000 Ad will be released in September, with »

Earlier this year, there were rumblings about a sequel to Alex Garland's adaptation of Dredd being very unlikely after a less than stellar box office performance left the lower budget comic book film out in the wind. However, the film seems to have found a decent sized audience on the home video market, and there are plenty who have come to embrace and enjoy the film. In fact, a big enough audience has found this film that star Karl Urban (Star Trek Into Darkness) says that a sequel is "not off the agenda." Right now the power seems to lie with the fans, and they have to let the higher powers know they want a sequel. Read on! Urban told Collider, "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 »

Karl Urban has said that a Dredd 3D sequel is "not off the agenda".
The Star Trek into Darkness star called upon fans to be "vocal" about wanting a follow-up to the 2012 movie.
"Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning," he told Collider. "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 instalment then they should be vocal about that, because it can happen.

A sequel to Dredd has been considered unlikely since the auctioning off of the film's props.
Despite a strong performance in the UK, the »

It's a shame that Dredd 3D bombed has hard as it did in theaters but the truth is it was always going to be difficult for the film to shake off the stink left behind from the 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie. Sure us comic and movie geeks were pretty psyched for Dredd 3D but most people still associated it with the Stallone film and figured it would be just as bad. But Dredd 3D has done very well with Blu-Ray and DVD sales and there have been some talks of another film, although as »

Karl Urban has been discussing the possibility of a sequel to Dredd, and says that despite the film’s relatively poor box office showing, there could yet be scope for a follow-up. Made on a budget of $45 million, the film grossed just $35.6 million worldwide, meaning that a sequel had initially looked unlikely. However, according to Urban, there may yet be demand for a second film... “Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning,” says Urban. “It’s not off the agenda.

Karl Urban suggests that reports of Dredd 2 not happening maybe, just maybe, a little premature...
Appreciating that we're willing to clutch at any straw where a sequel to last year's Dredd is concerned, there's nonetheless the first sign of good news in some time surrounding a possible Dredd 2. There's still a long way to go, but Karl Urban, in a new interview with Collider, has dropped a big hint that there may yet be a way forward.
"Interestingly enough, I did have breakfast with Alex Garland this morning", Urban told the site. "It's not off the agenda".
He's on about Dredd 2, not his breakfast.
He continued: "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 instalment then they should be vocal about that, because, »

When Dredd 3D blasted its way onto cinema screens last year, it was the blood-drenched movie adaption that fans had been demanding, particularly in the wake of Sylvester Stallone’s tepid rendition in 1995. Gleefully violent, satirical and loaded with visceral special effects, the film won over fans and critics in equal measures. And yet, in recouping only $35 million from a $45 million budget, Dredd 3D was deemed commercially underwhelming and any continuation of the series seemed less than likely. However, in an interview with Collider, Karl Urban hinted that a sequel may still be on the table.
Here’s what the New Zealand actor had 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 »

Being a hit with fans and critics alike just wasn't enough to make Dredd the box office smash it needed to be in order to secure a follow-up. In an interview with Collider, Star Trek Into Darkness star Karl Urban was asked to comment on the passionate fanbase and whether or not he would return for a sequel. "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.

Fans of the comic series Judge Dredd have been clamoring for a worthy big screen adaptation for years. The 1995 Sylvester Stallone-fronted iteration missed the mark entirely, but director Peter Travis and screenwriter Alex Garland brought a harneded, R-rated take on the character to the big screen last year with Dredd. The film received generally positive reviews and a fantastic reception from longtime fans of the comics, but it didn’t exactly strike a chord with general audiences. Against a budget of $45 million, the pic only grossed $35.6 million worldwide, making the prospect of a sequel rather slim. Steve recently caught up with Dredd star Karl Urban for a phone interview in anticipation of the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, and Urban revealed that there’s hope yet for a Dredd 2 given the first film’s recent cult status. The actor noted that he has been in touch with Garland »

Time travel is a nifty narrative device that many a filmmaker has employed.

When he meets Rachel McAdams’ Mary, he gets more than one shot at a good first impression.

About Time, the latest romcom from genre figurehead Richard Curtis, has revealed a first trailer online. Offering a softer spin on the time-travel conceit than the likes of The Terminator and Looper, the film introduces Domhnall Gleeson (Anna Karenina, Dredd) as Tim, the youngest in a line of time-travellers (this being a Curtis film, Bill Nighy plays his dad). Rachel McAdams adds a bit of Hollywood glamour as Mary, the girl Tim falls for. Using his time-jumping abilities, he’s able to woo her again and again (Groundhog Day-style)...

Dredd and machine. Karl Urban, aka Judge Dredd, aka Bones, gives TV a try in the new Fox drama “Almost Human”, in which Urban plays a cop who hates “synthetics”, which is perfect because he gets partnered up with one. Ain’t that always the case, though? Check out the first trailer and promo images for the J.J. Abrams-produced show. But then again, isn’t everything “produced” by Abrams these days? Of course, when the full extent of your “producing” begins and ends with attaching your name to a product, it’s pretty easy to produce a dozen shows at once. Such is the case here, I suspect. This action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future centers around the unlikely partnership between a part-machine cop and a part-human robot. Executive-produced by Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams (“Fringe,” “Lost,” the “Star Trek” and “Mission: Impossible” franchises) and creator J.H. Wyman (“Fringe, »
