Here's some Dredd 2 news for you and we've got to admit, it's a bit dreadful. While Karl Urban has confirmed that there has been some talks about Dredd 2, the producer for Dredd, Adi Shankar believes that Dredd 2 won't happen anytime soon.

As you can see in the above video, Urban has once again provide some words of encouragement for Dredd fans to keep the faith alive. He not only offers his assurance that he and select filmmakers behind the first installment - screenwriter Alex Garland to be exact - are working "very, very hard" to make Dredd 2 a reality, but that the ongoing fan campaign is, in fact, making a difference on that front.

And though fans of the film are continuing to clamor for a Dredd 2, the film is still a long ways off according to producer Adi Shankar. In a recent interview, Shankar confirmed Karl Urban's recent assessment that "conversations are happening" around the film, but was quick to point out that those conversations don't mean a sequel is forthcoming.

Speaking with Dweebcast, the producer said there was still no script for the project and that because the first film was produced independently with a different distributor for every market, getting any traction has been difficult.

Now, it is still possible that we might see a Dredd short film. That's something that Shankar talked about over a year ago when Dredd first started taking off on DVD, but hasn't been brought up much since.
