Karl Ubran Talking To Filmmakers About DREDD 2 And DARK JUDGES Miniseries Coming This Month

TheWrap has word from Dredd producer Adi Shankar that an online miniseries titled Dark Judges is coming later this month. The free series will have seven-parts, the assumption is that Adi directed these. He's already made something similar with Punisher: Dirty Laundry, which had Thomas Jane reprise his role for the short. Details haven't been revealed, but I assume from the title it will focus on Judge Death and the other Dark Judges. A group of villains that fans have been demanded to see in a sequel.



Some cool videos pertaining to Dredd 2 have surfaced last week. Actress Olivia Thirlby voices her appreciation of the fan support for the film, for the Day of Dredd event on October 1st. This sounds like Olivia might be on board for returning, if Dredd 2 happens. The day was setup in-support of the film, and asks people to sign the official sequel petition along with buying/watching the film.

Fans helped the film reach #1 on Amazon UK's Blu-Ray bestsellers list, and #11 on the US list. Impressive considering the film was outselling films like Frozen, Captain America: The Winter Solider and Edge of Tomorrow. While the box office wasn't great, it's found a cult following with home viewers.



On that note, Karl Urban had an update during this weekend. He told British talk show host Jonathan Ross that while in London he was going to be meeting with Dredd filmmakers about the sequel. The event in question was Destination Stark Trek 3. This could be just a meeting, considering Adi has stated a script doesn't even exist. Perhaps, everyone was getting together to discuss what the sequel could look like and where the script should go. You can see the video (via ThePlayer) from the event above.

Gina Carano And Katee Sackhoff Are Not In EXPENDABELLES, Will Be In Competing Female Action Flick

While speaking to TheTorontoSun, MMA fighter turned action star Gina Carano (Fast And Furious 6, Haywire, Almost Human) revealed never actually being in the running for the role of Wonder Woman in Batman Vs Superman. Gina also squashed Deadline's reports she's attached for a lead role in The Expendables female-driven spin-off The ExpendaBelles. Fans of Carano should be relieved to hear, she won't be seen in ExpendaBelles. The script leaked a few months back and was littered with cliche sexist moments, including the ladies going undercover as hookers.

“I was never attached to the female Expendables, it’s just something like people put my name in there and then everyone thought it was truth,”

She does admit signing-on with producer Adi Shankar (Dredd, The Grey, Killing Them Softly, Lone Survivor, Machine Gun Preacher) for an untitled female action-heavy film. I assume Deadline got this second project mixed-up with ExpendaBelles, it also has Katee Sackhoff attached with a role alongside Carano. Confirming that Katee will also not be showing-up in the Expendables spin-off. It's script is being written by newcomer Dutch Southern.



Adi is responsible for some cool-as-hell flicks, so I'm totally on board with this. Also, it's nice to see a competing all-female action film that could blow ExpendaBelles out of the water. Shankar's Dredd had two major action-heavy female leads, which proved ladies can be badass in these action heavy films without cliches. I'm totally siding with this project, and it's casting currently top-notch.
