Danny Boyle Directing 28 Months Later

www.deadcentral.com

Here's some great news to kick off your week with ... the 28 Days Later franchise thus far has been nothing short of killer with two rock-solid installments. We just got some really interesting news regarding the third film in the series.

Dread Central has learned exclusively that the director of the original film, Danny Boyle, is planning to return to direct the as of yet untitled third film in the franchise. Details are scant at the moment, but we're working to get some more for you.

Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later told the story of what happens when a rage virus gets loose in the UK, turning its hosts into maniacal pissed off killers. Sort of like zombies but not really. Look for more on this exciting bit of news as we get it!

UPDATE:
For those wondering, this news has come from Boyle himself. The director indicated to a good friend of our site that "there's another 28 Days Later in the works." When asked if the title would be 28 Months Later, Boyle replied "In theory, yes." Immediately the next question was if he'd be producing, to which Boyle responded, "Actually I want to direct it." There you have it, kids. From the horse's mouth.

Nice!

Best news I've received all day!

Sweet. I like Danny Boyle a lot.Engrish_Major

cool, that's a great series.

Great news. 28 Days Later is one of my favorite movies. I enjoyed the second as well, but it just wasn't as good as the first. Hopefully with Boyle working on this one, it will turn out to be really good.

Thats cool, I'm really excited to see where he takes it.

Hell yes! Lets see how awesome this next installment is now!

I gotta say, 28 Days Later just might be the best zombie movie ever made. The only ones that compare IMO are Rec and the Dawn of the Dead remake.

This is good news, I love those movies.

I hope GY!BE is in it again :)

that's cool. i haven't seen Weeks, but i've seen Days, which i thought was awesome. i need to see Weeks.

cool, that's a great series.

Does "I want to direct it" mean "I will be directing it?"

Or does it mean, "I'm still interested in directing it, provided that I don't get tied up with a more interesting project later"?

Excellent news, I loved these movies.

Cool.

Nice! I loved the first but skipped out on the second. It didn't look very good.

Whats next? 28 years later? Then 28 Decades Later?.. This should do a prequel.. 28 hours later.sSubZerOo

Awesome. Both films were good, they weren't anything stellar (I watched both again recently) but they were definitely unique. I preferred 28 Days solely due to the focus on the characters more than the action... but I hope the third film bridges the gap between the two.

What would a prequel even be about? 90 minutes of a chimp sitting in a cage?

28 hours later from first contact within a major city? The main character trying to get the HELL out of there maybe?

This is excellent news!

Nice i can't wait.

Sweet. I liked the first two, hear's to hoping that the third will be just as good.
