Dredd Screenwriter Says Sequel Is Unlikely

Those of us holding out for a sequel to “Dredd” (and there are quite a few!) will have to suffer a blow to our hopes today.  Screenwriter Alex Garland has just expressed his doubts that it’ll ever see the light of day.

Asked if the project is dead:

“As far as I’m concerned? Yeah it is,” he explained. “My hope is, and I actually think this will happen – somebody else will do it. Not to be all coy and silly about it, but I think our film was better than the first one, right? Just to be blunt. And the job of the next people is to make their film better than ours. And then if they do that, then finally, maybe this character will break out in the way that it deserves to. But we’ll see.”

One of the few manly comic book movies out there with a blatant demand for a sequel (it had a huge social media campaign) and they’re basically responding with “go fuck yourselves”.
