Give us another installment on the big screen of Dredd!
The Issue
Based on the British comic 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd, 2012's Dredd 3D was faced with a horrible marketing campaign that inevitably spelled the movie's disaster in theaters all over the world.
Despite not that many people or hearing about it and a budget of just $35 million, the movie went on to make an estimated $60.2 million worldwide (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343727/business?ref_=tt_dt_bus) and has reached a viral status on websites such as Reddit and Rotten Tomatoes (78% tomatometer and 74% audience). Upon release to DVD/Blu Ray, the movie, at the time, was the best selling new release title of the year with over 650,000 units sold. It is clear there is a want, if not need, by fans of the character to have another installment created and put out the public with a legitimate marketing campaign to give worldwide movie-goers exactly what they want.
In a recent interview, actor Karl Urban said himself, "The power of fandom can resurrect projects. In fact, that’s what happened with Star Trek. They weren’t going to do a third season until fans did a letter writing campaign and they continued that series," (http://www.totalfilm.com/news/karl-urban-talks-dredd-sequel)....so this is our chance! Sign this petition and let's make it known that we want to see Dredd give the "Hot Shot" treatment again and this time on the big screen longer than a few weeks!
