Will Karl Urban return for Judge Dredd TV show?

The fact the 2012 big-screen Judge Dredd reboot, appropriately enough called Dredd, didn't take off is a damn shame. Damn. Shame. It remains one of the best comic-book movies ever made, and a damn fine sci-fi/action flick. Damn. Fine.

Fortunately, the film has developed a cult following. This is largely due, I would assume, to Karl Urban's spot on portrayal of Judge Dredd. And all the cool action.

It was announced in May that the Judge Dredd universe will live on in the form of a TV series called Judge Dredd: Mega City One. Little is known about the show, other than it will feature the Judges who protect Mega City One. The big question is will Judge Dredd be in it and, if so, who will play him?

Well, Urban was speaking with TrekMovie earlier, and let drop that he's open to reprising the role of Dredd for the TV series as long as "they write the material, and give Dredd something to do, and give him a function."

Hey, sound like he's on board as long as the part is well written!

With TV outpacing feature films in terms of quality, I think a Dredd TV series is a great thing, especially if it can continue the fine work started in the 2012 film. We'll keep you posted on this as the series develops.

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
