Keyser_Soze Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Danny Boyle, Alex Garland Teaming for Sequel to Their Zombie Hit ’28 Days Later’ (Exclusive) WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM '28 Years Later' is due to hit studios and streamers as a hot package later this week. Quote Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the director and writer of the 2002 movie, are reuniting for 28 Years Later, a new zombie thriller that is expected to hit studios, streamers and other potential buyers later this week, according to multiple sources. WME, which reps Boyle and Garland, will take out the package and handle the sale. The package isn’t just a simple modern sequel installment; the movie already had a follow-up with 28 Weeks Later, released in 2007. The duo were only involved with as executive producers on that film. Now, the hope is to launch a new trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm certainly interested, though it's a shame 28 Months Later didn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of linear succession of time scale is decidedly unsatisfying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a prequel at some point after 28 Years Later covering this! They're saying maybe a trilogy so it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Is there a way to get Cillian back per chance?!? Either way, both prior entries in this series have been awesome AF, so I'm stoked to see what happens here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yeah it's going to bug me that they didn't do 28 Months Later. Do Years after, c'mon! I never did see 28 Weeks Later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This news makes me very happy. It has been over 20 years since the first movie, so this may be a good time to bring Murphy back. That would be the bee's knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cillian said he'd come back if they make these and want him back, so we'll see! He worked with this duo on both 28 Days Later and Sunshine, which helps. 28 Years Later: Plot and cast for Danny Boyle's sequel | British GQ WWW.GQ-MAGAZINE.CO.UK It only took 'em… 22 years! 8 hours ago, Brick said: Yeah it's going to bug me that they didn't do 28 Months Later. Do Years after, c'mon! I never did see 28 Weeks Later. 28 Weeks Later isn't nearly as close to as good as 28 Days Later, but it's solid enough. Garland wasn't happy with its existence since he wasn't involved with the project at all so we'll see if what happened in that movie remains canon. It probably will I imagine given a lot of what happens in that movie and so as not to confuse audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 28 Weeks Later had a STACKED cast in hindsight, I’ve never watched all the way through though, I’ve seen bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I always thought 28 Weeks Later was pretty underrated. It's a really solid sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 In a way, it's really rather wild to see how far Danny, Alex, and Cillian have all come since the original was released. Seeing their careers flourish the way that they all have, just a beautiful thing to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
