Want To See The New DREDD Fanfilm Trailer? Get More Likes!

Filmmaker Oliver Hollingdale took to Facebook this afternoon to announce a challenge to Dredd fans who have been long waiting for either the development of a sequel, or fan films by independent filmmakers of recent.

And since then, Hollingdale has shared as many goodies as he could without giving too much away, from video updates to development pics and a first still shot from the shortfilm. […]
