It really stands up, which is amazing for a film that’s 20 years old.” Because I showed it to my kids recently, some Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. But every time I do bump into Danny or Alex I always mention it. But a third part would get people in, if it was half-decent.”Ģ8 Days Later star Cillian Murphy comments with a laugh, “I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older. It’s hard for companies distributing films and for cinema chains to show films, they’re struggling to get people into the cinema unless it’s something like Top Gun: Maverick or a Marvel. Anyway, we’ll see… who knows?”īoyle adds, “It might come back into focus because one of the things that’s happening in the business at the moment is it has to be a big reason for you to go to the cinema, because there are less and less reasons. It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. “ It feels like a very good time actually. “ I’d be very tempted ,” Boyle tells NME, referring to the script that Alex Garland ( 28 Days Later, Annihilation, Men) has written. In a new 20th anniversary chat with NME that was published this week, the 28 Days Later director noted that a script has been written – and now may be the time to dust it off. But maybe, just maybe, Danny Boyle is ready to bring the infected back to the screen. Another sequel, 28 Months Later, has been talked about multiple times over the years, with all parties expressing interest but the project never coming to life. I’m sure that, at some point, every fan has imagined how things continued.It’s been 20 years since the release of 28 Days Later, which was of course followed by sequel 28 Weeks Later in 2007. And at the end of the sequel, we saw an ominous scene showing the Rage virus taking over Paris. But me and speak about it, every couple of years it comes up.”Ģ8 Weeks Later definitely upped the ante from the original. “One of the things about 28 Days Later is that it was small and punk, and this idea is less small and punk. On the bright side, Garland revealed that he does indeed have a good idea for a third film. “I have got a really cool idea for but it’s a much bigger movie,” he said. “Everybody needs to want to do it, and every now and then - partly because I think about paying off the mortgage or something like that - I think, ‘Hm, that might be a good idea.’ But me personally I never quite have enough motivation to follow it through.” ![]() “It’s possible,” Garland said in a recent interview with Yahoo. Making a threequel would require a ton of people getting on board. Clearly, the fascination with the Rage virus remains strong. It spawned a successful sequel, 28 Weeks Later, in 2007, but never returned for a third installment, even as we got novels and comic books. Might that be about to change? While we shouldn’t get our hopes up just yet, writer Alex Garland hasn’t stopped planning.ĭirected by Danny Boyle, 28 Days Later premiered in 2002, breathing new life into the zombie genre. ![]() Every now and then a rumor pops up that it may be coming, but nothing has ever happened. We’ve had 28 Days Later and we’ve had 28 Weeks Later… is it finally time for 28 Months Later? A third movie in the zombie franchise has been discussed for years. ![]()
