Academy Award winner, Danny Boyle, who directed 28 Days Later, confirmed that he is returning to the 28 Days franchise with a “wonderful” idea from Ex Machina director and his old collaborator Alex Garland, who wrote the 2002 original.
The 28 Days zombie franchise is set to return after Boyle confirmed the news in an interview with The Independent. Boyle told the U.K.-based publication, “Alex Garland and I have a wonderful idea for the third part. It’s properly good. The original film led to a bit of a resurgence in the zombie drama and it doesn’t reference any of that. It doesn’t feel stale at all. He’s concentrating on directing his own work at the moment, so it’s stood in abeyance really, but it’s a you-never-know.”
The third 28 Days Later movie, which does not yet have an official title, would be based off an idea by Alex Garland, who wrote the 2002 original but has recently taken off as an on-demand sci-fi director following his 2014 breakout film Ex Machina. While either Boyle or Garland returned for the sequel 28 Weeks Later, Garland’s rise is sure to add anticipation when this film is released.
