Karl Urban Wants To Do A Dredd Series For Netflix Or Amazon Prime

2012's Dredd, starring Karl Urban as Mega-City One's top enforcer, was praised by critics and audiences alike but performed poorly at the worldwide box office. Against all odds, fans still held out hope that a sequel would come to fruition. A little over a year ago, Dredd screenwriter Alex Garland put a nail in that coffin. He told fans that purchasing DVDs wouldn't persuade studio heads to green-light a sequel. It didn't.

More recently, fans have changed course and now are petitioning for a Dredd television series. One talented fan even did a mock of what Dredd would like on the popular streaming service, Netflix. The image made its way to Urban, and he retweeted it and responded with an enticing message.

"Dredd 2: I'd do it!! Netflix or Amazon," Urban tweeted. "There's a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories!"

This would make me unreasonably giddy.

1. I would watch the crap out of that

I finally saw Dredd on DVD and was very pleasantly surprised.

3. A Dread Zeppelin series would be cool too

[Codeine]

4. Oh HELLZ yeah.

I'd be all over that. Dredd was great.

5. Lord Jesus, please make this happen.

I don't see how this could be anything other than a massive hit. Dredd was easily the best comic based movie of the last five years.
