Boyle Teases ’28 Months Later’ Possibilities
After the moderate success of Fox Atomic’s 28 WEEKS LATER, Dany Boyle had gone on record stating that there could be two more entries in the series, 28 MONTHS LATER and 28 YEARS LATER. Since then, Fox Atomic has collapsed back into 20th Century Fox and the franchise has been silenced. Danny Boyle’s latest project, the astounding SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, has been playing this past week’s Toronto International Film Festival, where he has resurrected talk about the next film. Read on for the skinny.
“There’s a bit of discussion going on about it at the moment,” Boyle tells MTV of what I’m going to start calling “28 Months Later,” the third in a series which began with “28 Days Later” in 2002 and continued with “28 Weeks Later” last year.
“I have an idea for it [but] I’ve got to present it and see what people think really because it might be silly really,” he laughed.
On the matter of whether or not he would direct the film, though, the “Slumdog Millionaire” helmer was much less coy, admitting that “it was a possibility.”
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
