Director Danny Boyle recently spoke with MTV Movie News about him possibly returning to direct a sequel to 28 Weeks Later. Here is the article:
Recently, reports spread across the net that “Slumdog Millionaire” helmer Danny Boyle was considering hopping back into the saddle to direct “28 Months Later,” the second sequel to his smash 2002 film about a viral outbreak and its devastating consequences.
True enough, Boyle told MTV News, re-iterating what he told us back in September.
“It don’t think it will be called ‘28 Months Later,’ that’s all I can say,” Boyle insisted of the sequel, remaining maddeningly coy on other details.
The first film in the series explored the aftereffects of a viral outbreak on London. The second film focused on what happened when the military tried to repopulate the area after presumably containing the threat. The third film? Who knows, Boyle said, revealing that he has an idea but that nothing is set in stone.
“I mean, it’s absolutely not written yet, but there’s a prospect of an idea and the way these ideas start is you just suddenly get a little glimpse,” Boyle confessed.
What else? Not to go all Columbo on you here at the end, but Boyle, well, he does have just one more thing he wants from you: for the love of all that is holy, stop calling his infected monsters zombies.
“There was an article in the paper the other day by Simon Pegg. He wrote this article begging people to let zombies stumble again and not run. He was trying to turn the tide back because everyone has zombies running now. He’s like, ‘No, please. Can we go back to the old days when you knew you could get away from them?’ That was sort of the thrill. These idiots didn’t lock themselves in car and died,” Boyle laughed. “That’s why I keep saying, ‘It’s not a zombie movie, everyone. It’s not a zombie movie!’ Because the aficionados - it’s sacrilegious what you’re doing by changing things like that. They’re infected. They’re not zombies.”
Should “Untitled Boyle Infection Movie” pick up right from the last film, with a global pandemic? Or should it stay small? Would you want Boyle to sit in the director’s chair once more? Sound off on all your thoughts below.
What do you guys think? I really enjoyed both 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later. I'd love to see a 3rd one made, and I do agree the title '28 Months Later' is kinda stupid. Its nice to hear from the horses mouth that we can stop calling it that.
Also... Simon Pegg clearly needs to star in the next '28 Days' movie 8)

Well Kyle I love ya and I think it is a good idea. He is an incredibly talented director (Sunshine anyone?) and I would definately watch another sequal.

I really hope he takes it in a direction more reminiscent of the first one. I felt he got lazy with the sequel, allowing there to be some pretty significant holes in the plot (I mean, what was up with dad?).

He didn't write or direct the sequel so he wasn't lazy. Yes, there were gaping plotholes in the second, but I found it much more entertaining then the first. Both are enjoyable but neither are very rewatchable for me.

I believe what the director said he was going for was making the dad aware of his family still even though he was infected. Which is why he was drawn to them and stalking them through the whole movie. I see what he was going for and I like the idea, but you're right. There some holes in the plot that can't quite be filled.
