Writers Alex Garland and Danny Boyle had a recent interview where they offered an update on the project, which still seems to be on their radar despite so many years passing since the last installment.
If Alex thinks there’s a script in it and Danny wants to do it, I’d love to do it." (7/11/23) But like I’ve always said, I’m up for it.
#Alex garland 28 months later script movie
I hope he does it because I’d love to see what kind of story this script tells.Actor Cillian Murphy revealed in an interview that he'd be happy to return if Garland and Boyle are involved, saying: "I was talking to Danny Boyle recently, and I said, “Danny, we shot the movie at the end of 2000.” So I think we’re definitely approaching the 28 Years Later. It sounds like Boyle is actually really interested in making 28 Months Later a reality. Every couple of years it will come up, or going, 'Do you want to do that?' and then for some reason it never happens." "I have got a really cool idea for it, but it's a much bigger movie, and one of the things about 28 Days Later is that it was small and punk and this idea is less small and punk.
I think it actually, speaking of conversations, 28 Days Later joined the zombie conversation, that genre. "A long time has passed and 28 Days Later, when it arrived fresh, and I don't think it's fresh anymore. When previously talking about this possible third movie, Garland said: So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very appealing to me.” 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. “I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older. 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy commented with a laugh: It’s something that a lot of us have been wanting to see, so it would be cool if it actually got made after all these years. I think he’s right! Fans of the franchise would welcome a third film. 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.
It sounds like he’s ready to dust off the script and make an effort to develop it. The script for the film was written by Alex Garland, and in a recent interview with NME, Boyle teased a renewed interest in making the films. At one point several years ago the movie was supposed to move forward, but it never did. That was followed by the sequel 28 Weeks Later in 2007, and over the years there has been talk of a third film, 28 Months Later. Danny Boyle’s zombie film 28 Days Laterwas released 20 years ago, and it’s one of the better zombie movies that has been made.
