'Dredd' Prequel More Likely Than a Sequel

Despite only earning $35 million worldwide in
2012, fans are still clamoring for a sequel to
Dredd 3D . Star Karl Urban has said on a number
of occasions that a sequel may still happen
some day. However, the actor recently made an
appearance at Chicago Comic-Con, where he
revealed that now it's more likely that a prequel
will be made, instead of a sequel.
"Why yes, there is a definite possibility. But, it is
more likely that we will do the origins story with
Dredd trekking through the cursed earth to find
the first Chief Judge Fargo."
In the original Judge Dredd comics, Fargo was
the first Chief Judge Dredd was cloned from.
Fargo was never seen again after it was
revealed that Dredd was his cloned. Max von
Sydow portrayed Fargo in the 1995 Judge Dredd
adaptation that starred Sylvester Stallone as the
title character.
If the film does turn out to be a prequel, it
seems unlikely that Olivia Thirlby 's character,
Cassandra Anderson, will be featured, since she
was a rookie who met her boss Dredd for the
first time in Dredd 3D .
Would you rather see a Dredd 3D prequel
involving Fargo, or a sequel that continues the
story from the first 2012 adaptation? Chime in
with your thoughts below.
