Additional: Dredd (Review | Dredd 3D (2012)) was one of the first reviews I wrote when my friend asked me to write film based articles for his website.

Dredd is fucking fantastic, and I’m a big fan. It didn’t perform well at the box office, which is a huge shame as the sequel would have introduced Judge Death. The trailer was only released a few weeks before the film, and I don’t think most people were aware of it.
Actually, the first footage that appeared online was a VFX breakdown, but it was removed from YouTube after a couple of days.
The problem came down to money. There’s a video from the producer which explains that all the investors made a loss, so no one is interested in financing a sequel.
Also, I’ve seen some people claim this film is a rip-off of The Raid which isn’t true as I believe both were in production at the same time.

There is an internet rule that whenever someone brings up Dredd, another person must mention it’s a rip off of The Raid, facts be damned.
