Waiting On ’28 Months Later’? Don’t Hold Your Breath

28 Months Later isn’t an impossibility, but there certainly aren’t any plans for it right now. 28 Days Later, Sunshine and Trance director Danny Boyle recently spoke to Wired and he seemed fairly uninterested in pursuing the series – saying that there’s a only 40/60 chance of it getting made.

Who would have thought? I don’t like zombie movies. I never did. We took a genre and fucked with it. Zombie aficionados, they’re quite precious with all their rules. Like with running: “They don’t do that!” Of course there are so many manifestations of zombies now, the rule book has gone out the window. I saw one episode of The Walking Dead, and it was very gripping. But the zombies were stumbling around again, which I hate. Given what we’ve just been talking about, it’s very difficult to know whether zombies are overexposed now as a concept. So it’s 40/60 whether it happens or not.

Lest you despair, it’s not completely off the table. “But we did have an idea of where to set it and what it might be about.

Still, you know – probably not.

Review: 28 Days Later #1

The great people over at Boom Comics sent me the first issue of 28 Days Later this weekend. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I thought the movie ended in a nice little package, but it did leave some opportunities for a sequel…but is it worth your $3.99. Check my review after the break.

28 Weeks Later

The creative team of Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and Andrew Macdonald are
back to re-invent the zombie movie yet again with the sequel to 28 Days
Later. Lead by director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, 28 Weeks Later picks up
six months after the Rage virus has decimated the city of London. The US
Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city, when a
carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the
spread of the deadly infection, wreaking havoc on the entire population.
