Judge Dredd: Mega-City One - 10 Things We Want To See

10. Karl Urban

Karl Urban is a massive 2000 AD fan, and his passion for the source material really shone through in Dredd. The lead actor is a big part of what made the movie work, bringing grizzled, terse gravitas and a show-stealing chin to every scene.

If Judge Dredd: Mega-City One is intended as a follow-up to the film, set within the same universe, retaining Urban is absolutely essential. The show has been touted as one for the fans, and the fans want more Urban warfare.

The good news is that Rebellion have heard those calls loud and clear, and have opened talks with the Star Trek actor about donning the helmet and shoulder pads again. Urban is game, providing the screenplay is right.

TrekMovie quotes the star as saying...

"I am in discussions with them about that. I told them that if they write the material and give Dredd something to do and give him a function, I will be there. I would love to."

It's clear that playing Mega-City One's most famous lawman is a dream project for Urban, so providing there are no scheduling conflicts related to his Star Trek commitments, there's a good chance he'll sign up for this one.
