Since its disappointing opening weekend, Dredd has inspired some passionate fan support as those who saw and loved the film hope to motivate the studio into a sequel. If there’s a “best-of” poll on the Internet, Dredd fans will be there, skewing the data in favor of the Karl Urban-starring adaptation of 2000AD‘s most popular antihero. Thirlby, apparently, appreciates the effort and is on board for a sequel.

“[The petition] is very exciting; I hope it goes somewhere,” Thirlby said. “I’m a big fan of Dredd, the movie, I would love to have a sequel be made….I have no idea whether it’s a reality or not but a girl can dream.”

Dredd generated $35 million worldwide on a $50 million budget — and while home video, streaming and other sales have been significant, the biggest challenge facing a prospective sequel seems to be the numerous studios involved with production and distribution overseas, all of whom would have to sign off on terms of a sequel.
Star Urban, the film’s producers and directors have been very open about their desire to see a second Dredd film and have talked openly about their attempts to get it made. Thirlby, who played the second lead in the film, has rarely been called upon to comment.
