It’s actually been 21 years since a dazed and confused Cillian Murphy awoke in 28 Days Later’s post-apocalyptic London.
It’s the horror sequel we didn’t realize we were waiting for, and now demand ASAP: 28 Years Later, a continuation of the post-apocalyptic zombie tale started in 2002’s 28 Days Later and further explored in 2007’s 28 Weeks Later. And this time, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are coming back.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, with the added tidbit that 28 Years Later might just be the first of a new trilogy of sequels. So far this is a very early-stages project; as the trade notes, the “new zombie thriller … is expected to hit studios, streamers and other potential buyers later this week, according to multiple sources.
