Rumors of a third outing in the 28 Days Later universe were circulating since back in 2019 when Boyle spoke to The Independent and mentioned the horror fan favourite franchise, specifically saying that he and Alex Garland (the writer behind the original post-apocalyptic horror film and the writer-director behind 2014’s Ex Machina, as well as a frequent collaborator of Boyle’s) had “a wonderful idea for the third part.” But a third part would get people in, if it was half-decent. 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. 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. The new tidbit comes by way of a recent interview with British music publication NME, where the award-winning 66-year-old film director sat down and candidly shared some insight into the much-anticipated follow-up to one of the more memorable zombie/infected movies of the last few decades. Specifically, the English filmmaker behind the 2002 original has confirmed that the script is done and dusted, and he’s even shown interest in directing this new installment. It’s been on the cards for many years now, but 28 Months Later – the threequel following on from the events of 2007’s 28 Weeks Later – may still see the light of day.
