Jason Kingsley - CEO of Rebellion (the company that owns and publishes
2000 AD) - revealed that talks about a film sequel or TV series are still ongoing, as the firm looks to expand its properties.
"We really want to get more TV stuff made and movie stuff made," he told
Pocket-Lint. "There's stuff happening in the background that's really exciting.
"We're a long way from anything announcing, but we're working hard on that."
He added optimistically: "
Dredd's world deserves a TV show. Several probably. Several box sets, actually. Six at least!
"You could tell so many stories. There are so may brilliant epics. You could imagine one series of
Dredd doing another Cursed Earth run."
And if we are to see the return of
Dredd, Kingsley confirmed that he would want Urban to don the helmet.
"He's a big
2000 AD fan - a genuine
2000 AD fan," the exec said of the
Star Trek actor.
"People say they're a
2000 AD fan but you ask them about details and they start to go all twitchy. Karl though is genuine. I think he brought that to the character, his childhood interpretation of it."
