DREDD Fan Series, CURSED EDGE, To Get A Feature-Length Release

It’s been nearly four years since the hugely under appreciated adaptation of the 2000 A.D. sci-fi property with Pete Travis’s Dredd 3D sunk at the box office. The call for a direct sequel still a hopeless but otherwise unified and deafening with hopes for a segway into Netflix territory burning in the hopeful minds of loyal fans who have since campaigned to no end. That group is one you can certainly lump UK filmmaker Oliver Hollingdale in as he’s proven himself to be one of the most avowed fans to date, staking his claim in an inspired webseries in the last several years. Indeed, legal specifics have impeded most filmmakers while Hollingdale has gracefully found his own avenues which have thusfar garnered him an audiece with Cursed Edge, which places itself amid the side stories of other judges in the Dredd universe. Five parts are currently online which you can […]

Garland: 'There Will Be No DREDD 2'

Lee B. Golden III

2012 brought movie goers our best possible chance at watching a decent adaptation of the 2000 A.D. title comic book, Dredd, with Pete Travis directing and lead actor Karl Urban starring, and the reviews consistently poured in to base claim appropriately. Unfortunately, the film commercially faltered and while some say this was due to bad advertising, others suggest that it probably suffered from the longstanding stigma behind its less-than-exemplary predecessor in 1995 with actor Sylvester Stallone at the time. Nevertheless, social media became the ultimate tool for fans of Urban‘s performance seeking a sequel and any and all updates have pointed minimal, yet hopeful signs that another would come eventually. Blurbs from tge filmmakers, Urban, lead actress Olivia Thirlby and even as recently as executive producer Adi Shankar have kept the movement going while other inspired content creators have lended their efforts to maintain the continued tone of Travis’s film […]

DREDD 3D Gets A One-Night Screening At Tribeca Cinemas In New York City!

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]

Revisit Mega City One With Your Own Illustrated Screenplay For DREDD 3D

It’s been a year and a half since the theatrical release of director Pete Travis’s 2012 live-action thriller, Dredd 3D, made its way to critical acclaim and a level of fan-appreciation that only continued to amplify when the film’s subsequent commercial numbers dimmed the hopes of an immediate sequel from Lionsgate. Since then, with fan films, webseries projects and sequel comics trickling out public, and a petition that just hit the 100,000 mark in support of a sequel for the 2012 film, conversations are being had that we know little in detail, if anything, about what is particularly being said with Almost Human star, lead actor Karl Urban, screenwriter Alex Garland and the Lionsgate execs in the room. And yes, it’s frustrating to have to be this patient. But the important thing is that there are words being exchanged, and I suspect those details will come to us eventually. In […]

Lee B. Golden III

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, […]
