DREDD 3D Gets A One-Night Screening At Tribeca Cinemas In New York City!
There may have been a point in time when director Pete Travis‘s live-action iteration of the 2000 A.D. comic book favorite, Dredd 3D, would have been lost to the ages as a commercial failure, thus crippling any hopes for a sequel. Well, it’s 2014, and if the latest second annual #DayOfDredd celebration on October 1, 2014 shows you nothing else, it shows you that Travis‘s 2012 has been nothing short of a huge success! And not for nothing either!
The goal here has always been a sequel, and it is a goal that has only inched itself closer and closer, thanks in large part to support from fans and the leading voices at the Make A Dredd Sequel campaign on Facebook. Those efforts are also showing signs of live, largely with support from the film’s male and female lead, actor Karl Urban and actress Olivia Thirlby, whose assurances of continual support of the film will eventually lead toward a much-deserved sequel (or a prequel depending on how things will work out regarding recent updates seen HERE.)
Thankfully, the film is now heading back to the big screen for a one-night only showcase of the film, slated for October 11, 2014 at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City. An Eventbrite page has also been set up for those interested in purchasing tickets, so feel free to check it out, as well as the official website for Tribeca Cinemas for more info.
Dredd 3D is produced by screenwriter Alex Garland and producers Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, and is executive produced by Stuart Ford, Deepak Nayar and Adi Shankar. Urban and Thirlby are joined by actresses Lena Headey and Rakie Ayola, and actors Wood Harris, Warrick Grier, Domhnall Gleeson, Deobia Oparei.
The film is also available on DVD, Blu-Ray and VOD, and wherever movies are sold.
H/T: Make A Dredd Sequel
New Trailer For Dredd-Inspired Series, CURSED EDGE
The final push is underway as independent filmmaker Oliver Hollingdale continues post-production work on Cursed Edge. The project began in late 2012, inspired by the call for fans to help continue epic story of the future lawmaker after successful home release sales numbers and cult fanfare since the theatrical release of the Pete Travis-directed 3D thriller, Dredd, last September, despite its failure to deliver at the box office.
Other Dredd-inspired projects and efforts by independent filmmakers have made their way online, including the recently broadcasted short film, Judge Minty. And with the continued support for the character, the story and the universe as a whole, actor Karl Urban, who played the title character in the original 2012 film has gone public in the past several months stating a shared sequel interest with Travis and Dredd scribe Alex Garland. Urban is especially engaging and pushing for support from the film’s most demographic, the fans who are eagerly waiting positive news for a sequel, some of who are currently leading the unofficial petition for the Make A Dredd Sequel, which has already been backed by tens of thousands of people, including the franchise’s original comic book publisher, Rebellion.
In the meantime, Hollingdale is ready share his reimagining of the Dredd universe with his own project, which has since evolved from a short film to a webseries. And a teaser for the episode is now available.
Cursed Edge stars Damien Gerard, Darren Carver, Steve Eames, Kiarnie Camp, Paul LaBelle and Jade Ramraut.

Japan Gets A Home Release Date For DREDD
Fans can still purchase the film, as it is still being newly relased throughout the world depending on where you live. This summer, Japan is slated to release the film domestically on DVD and BluRay on a rental and retail date: May 22 and June 26 I think. (Correct me if I’m wrong).
Sneaky Zebra Is Looking To Deliver Justice In JUDGE DEATH
You may recall a while back that after the release of DREDD 3D, all hope was lost for a sequel due to its undeserved box office demise. Fans and critics were devastated, even as home media sales were boomed over the praise of such an excellent, gritty and brutal 3D theatrical release. This prompted recent efforts by indie filmmaker Oliver Hollingdale to help carry on the legacy of director Pete Travis with the new shortfilm, Judge Dredd: Cursed Edge.
