'Dredd' Exec Producer Adi Shankar Announces Unofficial Webseries Based On The Film!
With the chances of an ever-hopeful sequel or a prequel to the 2012 cult hit, Dredd, still awaiting results, one of the film’s executive producers, Adi Shankar, particularly remained the most tight-lipped regarding that topic. So back when he administered a Reddit AMA session last year, at least one mention of a Dredd-related project gave way to the potential for a new shortfilm in the same vein of his two Bootleg Universe projects, Dirty Laundry and Venom: Truth In Journalism.
On Monday, The Wrap has since expanded on those updates with word that Shankar himself has been busy for the last two years, working on an unofficial off-the-grid Dredd series that will mainly focus on the Dark Judges. It will air online, possibly on YouTube in the form of a seven-part miniseries, as a thank you to fans everywhere who have spent the last two years keeping hopes for a Dredd 2 installation alive.
A premiere date and first-look promo content are still pending, so stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, hopefully you got your tickets to the Dredd screening at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City this weekend. If not, click here to get the lowdown!
