Director Danny Boyle has a renewed interest in doing 28 MONTHS LATER

Danny Boyleis the zombie movie 28 days later was released 20 years ago and is one of the best zombie movies ever made. This was followed by the sequel 28 weeks later in 2007, and over the years there has been talk of a third film, 28 months later. At some point several years ago the film should have moved on, but it never happened.

The screenplay for the film was written by Alessio Ghirlanda, and in a recent interview with NME, Boyle teased a renewed interest in making movies. It looks like he’s ready to brush up on the script and make an effort to develop it. Here’s what he said:

“I would be very tempted [to direct it]. It seems like a really good time. It’s funny, I didn’t think about it until you just said it, and I remembered “Bang, this script!” which is again set in England, a lot about England. Anyway, we’ll see … who knows?

Boyle went on to explain:

“It might come back into focus because one of the things that’s happening in business right now is that it has to be a big reason for you to go to the movies, because there are fewer and fewer reasons. It’s hard for companies that distribute movies and for movie chains to show movies, they are struggling to get people into the cinema unless it’s something like that. Top Gun: Maverick or a wonder. But a third party would let people in, if it were half decent.

I think he is right! Fans of the franchise would welcome a third film. It’s something a lot of us would like to see, so it would be great if it was made after all these years. 28 days later star Cillian Murphy commented with a laugh:

“I think there is a problem, as I am 20 years older. But whenever I meet Danny or Alex I always talk about it. Because I showed it to my kids recently, on Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. It really stands up, which is great for a movie that’s 20 years old. So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very interesting to me. “

Speaking earlier about this possible third film, Garland said:

“It was a long time and 28 days later when it arrived [it was] cool, and I don’t think it’s cooler. I think actually, speaking of conversations, 28 Days Later joined the conversation about zombies, that genre. He did his duty to him, which is great. It was nice to be a part of it, really.

“I have a really cool idea, but it’s a much bigger movie, and one of the things about 28 Days Later is that it was small and punk and this idea is less small and punk. But me and Danny talk about it Every two years it comes out. , or says, ‘Do you want to do it?’ and then for some reason it never happens. “

Looks like Boyle is really interested in doing 28 months later a reality. I hope he does because I’d like to see what kind of story this script tells. If it goes well at the box office it could lead to 28 years later And 28 decades AfterI’m kidding, but you’d be interested 28 months later
