Published Dredd star Karl Urban has commented on the idea of a sequel to the 2012 comic book critical hit based on the character Judge Dredd. Now for some good news, it would appear that they have released five new photographs from the movie which I have attached to this article for you to enjoy. The movie also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Santi Scinelli, Deobia Oparei, Jason Cope, and Brandon Livanos, and is directed by Pete Travis. Although I did see a few aspects from the trailers of the movie that might benefit from 3-D technology, I’ll reserve how I feel until after I’ve seen the movie, and how well they do implementing the technology.

I’m not sure how I feel about the movie coming out in 3-D. This was all confirmed, at ComicCon 2012, so now we know for sure we won’t get to see Karl Urban as Judge Dredd without his helmet, just like we didn’t get to see a face in the original comics. And I wish the makers of The Amazing Spider-Man had taken a page out of the same book and keep the face of the character hidden at least when using costume or of public. It appears from the last movie they learn an important lesson, no one should see who Judge Dredd is without his helmet. I’ve watched the trailers, I listened to all the hype, and now I’m ready to put in my two cents on the net before the release date gets here. There are some of the same elements Garland talked about exploring contained within the concept of the "big lie," but Urban contextualizes them with the character of Dredd, rather than the exciting story beats audiences look forward to.Well here we are only two months away from September 21, 2012, and the next installment of Judge Dredd. However, Dredd can't keep from protecting Mega-City One for too long, especially after the Dark Judges start bringing their own form of justice. Unable to deal with the "big lie" any longer, Dredd takes what is known in the comics as the "long walk" – a form of exile whereby a judge relinquishes their title and leaves Mega-City One. Their role as judge, jury, and executioner is one of the more unique qualities of the Dredd storyline, but it also becomes a source of internal conflict for the character of Judge Dredd. Urban only briefly mentions what that exploration might entail – saying that he'd like to see Dredd question the "big lie" – but it's certainly exciting territory for longtime fans. In the 2000 AD comics, the "big lie" is the belief that the Judges know what's best for humanity. Rather than delve deeper into the IPC Media's comic rogues gallery, Urban wants to further explore the psyche of Judge Dredd – an obvious choice given he plays the character. Speaking with IGN, Urban delivers a few hints as to where he would like to see future Dredd films go, and it's quite a unique counterpoint to the types of ideas Garland was looking to explore.
