![]() Perhaps there’s an opportunity for us to help spread the word about the movie and the comic, and down the line it might make a difference to getting a sequel. There’s a massive following for the film, now, who have never read the comic. Do we step in and try to help out or what? So we’ve decided to officially endorse it as “2000 AD.” We can’t guarantee it’s going to succeed, but we want to say to the fans that your support is appreciated. We’ve watched it and it put us in a bit of a difficult position. It’s got over 20,000 likes on Facebook now. Not long after the film came out, this fan-run campaign started up. So what’s the fan run sequel campaign that “2000 AD” is endorsing, “Make a DREDD Sequel?” That can only be down to the movie, and maybe us promoting ourselves a bit better. In terms of how the film has helped us financially, our print orders through Diamond are up over 90% since the film came out. ![]() How many comics can say they got a perfect movie? “The Avengers” was great, but they’re not the same characters you might find in the comics in terms of how they’re portrayed. Well, that’s to be expected because people hoped, and we hoped, it would be the biggest movie ever! We had a perfect movie. When the filmmakers got that vision right, it just worked.Īre you any more optimistic about a sequel now than in October or November of last year? People were a bit deflated about the sequel prospects, initially. I haven’t met anybody who’s said, “That was a rubbish film!” We got a kick-ass movie! They nailed Dredd! It’s a testament to the vision of John and Carlos vision from 36 years ago. We’re just happy such a key British character got a second bite of the cherry and we got the absolute best Judge Dredd film we could have imagined. It’s up to DNA Films to move forward or not. We would love to see a sequel, but at the end of the day, the US box office was a disappointment. So let’s talk about the elephant in the room: What are the chances of a “Dredd” sequel actually happening? ![]() So people are realizing that if they want to see more of the “Dredd” movie, they can find it in the books. What’s great about the movie is that it’s exactly the same “Judge Dredd” you see in the comics, Karl absolutely nailed it. Now, it’s people who have actually seen the movie and are coming to discover the comic. Obviously, a lot of people in New York had heard about the movie, but they hadn’t seen it. Are you seeing a bigger fan reaction to the movie now than maybe you did at New York Comic Con in October, right after the film’s release? “Dredd” has experienced a slow burn, increasing in popularity after performing very poorly at the box office. Loads of people have seen the movie, loved it and asked us, ‘Where do I start?’ ![]() Yup, quite a lot! We’ve got the Comic-Con exclusive “Dredd” movie sequel poster, which has drawn a lot of those types in. Has anyone specifically said, “I loved the movie and now I want the comics!” or anything to that effect? ![]()
