He later comes to find out that a mysterious aggression-inducing virus has swept through the United Kingdom and has turned everyone into flesh-eating zombies. If Alex thinks there’s a script in it and Danny wants to do it, I’d love to do it.“Ģ8 Days Later was released in 2002 and follows the story of Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes up in a coma only to find that the city he is in is deserted.

Then in a recent interview with Collider, Murphy said “ 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. If he doesn’t want to direct it himself I’ll be well up for it, if we can execute a similarly good idea. Danny always liked the idea.”ĭanny Boyle later said “ So we’re talking about it quite seriously, quite diligently. But a few years ago an idea materialized in my head for what would be really 28 Years Later. I just thought, ‘F–k that.’ I’d rather try to write a different story in a different world.

28 Days Later director Danny Boyle, writer Alex Garland, and actor Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Oppenheimer) offered a promising update in a recent interview with both Inverse and Collider. So yeah, I love the idea and it's very appealing to me.Regarded as one of the greatest zombie films of all time, this update is very promising for the sequel. "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. The 'Peaky Blinders' star said: "I think there's a problem with that, in that I'm 20 years older. We complain how overcrowded (cities) are and about the stress, and then in an instant, life as we know it in many, many different forms can empty them."Ĭillian revealed that he would jump at the chance to return for the third film. It's actually come to haunt us (since Covid). "What an amazing idea: a deserted London. He wanders around London on his own and you just thought, 'Oh my God!' I remember reading the first ten pages of (Alex Garland's script), thinking, 'This is brilliant'."ĭanny, 66, continued: "It was like a quarter of a page. The 'Trainspotting' filmmaker recalled: "I instantly knew the film was something very special. The original movie starred Cillian Murphy as bicycle courier Jim, a man who wakes from a coma to find London deserted after a viral infection decimates society, and Boyle knew that it would be a success immediately.
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. In an interview with NME, Danny said: "I'd be very tempted (to direct it). The Oscar-winning director helmed the 2002 horror flick – but not the 2007 follow-up '28 Weeks Later' – and explained that the opportunity to adapt Alex Garland's script for '28 Months Later' appeals to him. Danny Boyle would be "tempted" to complete a '28 Days Later' trilogy.
