Okay , it ’s clip for a modern pop civilisation account lesson . It was back in 2017 when the word first strike that entertainment studio IM Global and publisher Rebellion would be teamingup forJudge Dredd : Mega City One , a serial based on the democratic reference created by writerJohn Wagnerand artistCarlos Ezquerrathat would reportedly highlight an " ensemble dramatic event about a team of Judges — futurist cops endue with the top executive to be evaluator , jury , and executioner — as they deal with the challenges the future - traumatize 22nd centurythrows at them . " Rebellion CEOJason Kingsley(2000AD ) put up some insights into their visual sense of what they wanted the series to be , sharing , " We require to charm the atm of Dredd , we need all the crazy fashions and the kneepads . We ’re not going for funniness , but there will be bit of light and dark , just like in the funnies . "
At this power point , we ’re go to alternate ahead to July 2020 , when Kingsley shared with the YouTube showV2A Emergency Broadcast Systemthat the early stage of growing on a " Judge Dredd " series were underway and that a hand for a serial was already in place . " I need there to be a continuation [ to 2012 ’s Dredd ] . We ’ve sire the rightfield back so we can do it , we ’ve just got to get rid of this virus thing [ COVID ] that ’s going on at the moment , and then hopefully things can sound off off in all form of dissimilar areas of hit motion picture and TV , it ’s just – it ’s all very mess up at the moment for everybody , " he divvy up .
Kinglsey remain , " A lot of employment has been done on all form of different handwriting , in reality , so Mega - City One , the television show . Basically , we ca n’t go into production because of the [ coronavirus pandemic ] , and we ’ve got scripts and everything is ready to go , but the problem is , because of the pandemic , and everybody ’s funding changes and everybody ’s shifting around . " As for the opening of havingKarl Urbanand / orOlivia Thirlbyfrom the 2012 sci - fi film , orSylvester Stallonefrom the 1995 crusade , take part , Kingsley voice exposed to the musical theme : " Well if we can get mass back , you bed , we even joked that it would be quite fun to get Stallone back . "
A month later , in August 2020 , Urbanwas askedabout the possibility of his return to the role and if there had been any behind - the - scene conversations during an consultation to advance the second season of Amazon Prime’sThe Boys . " Well , listen , it ’s very , very early to get into any specific on that , butI’ve pop off on the platter beforesaying that I would enjoy to come back and be a part of that humans and say more Dredd narration . There is just a embarrassment of great , great account within the Judge Dredd universe , " Urban explained .
" I reckon that Jason [ Kingsley ] and his team – I think that the bequest of Judge Dredd is in great hands . And if I get the chance to work with those cat , you’re able to bet your bottom dollar mark I will be there – because I think that it would be just a really plentiful and rewarding experience for , not only for us to join forces , but for the sports fan . So , if that happens , that ’d be fantastic and for whatever rationality – and there are many – if it does n’t chance , then I wish them the best , and I ca n’t wait to see what they do , " Urban cover .
Since then , things have been a bit quiet in terms of official news regarding a serial other than rumor and rumblings .

We ’re not sure what sparked the late dumpster flaming of random speculation – maybe it has to do withThe Boysgetting quick to end its ladder after five seasons , or how Prime Video has been in the IP - building business organization late . Whatever the rationality , Kingsleytook to Facebookto make it clear that those grumble are baseless for one very important rationality : you ca n’t make a deal like that without involving those who own the rights .
" I ’ve just been surprise by the in style rumor about a Judge Dredd serial by Amazon and the producers of ' The Boys ' and asterisk the excellent Karl Urban . That would be gravid , potentially , but I ’m pretty indisputable we ’d have had to negotiate a contract and been part of the creative process , " Kingsley posted , shutting down the rumors in one of the most definitive ways potential . " To summarise , it is n’t lawful . " We agree : a lineup like that would be exciting – but for now , it sounds like it ’s all just wishful cerebration .
