Danny Boyle Interested in Directing ’28 Months Later’!
After the Paul Andrew Williams (The Cottage) rumors were squashed, all we were left with was news that 28 Months Later was definitely in the near future. This weekend creator Danny Boyle was in Hollywood promoting his latest feature film, the incredible SLUMDOG MILLIONARE, where he revealed the shocking news that he might direct the next film. “I’d certainly like to,” Boyle said in a group interview, courtesy of Sci Fi Wire. “I feel the idea is quite a strong idea, and it could well involve directing it. Yeah, absolutely.” Boyle directed 28 DAYS LATER, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo took over directing duties for 28 WEEKS LATER.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
