'28 Months' Later Spoilers: What We Know So Far About '28 Weeks Later' Sequel [VIDEO]
28 Months Later is actually be happening, even though development might take some time.
While the details about the movie haven't been firmed up yet, the main men associated to the project have spoken and assented to the wishes of fans.
28 Months Later, the final in the trilogy of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, was most recently confirmed by author Alex Garland.
The writer of The Beach, Ex Machina, and 28 Days Later, has revealed that the project will be going forward with producer Andrew McDonald.
In an interview with IndieWire Garland revealed that he was not initially very invested in the idea of a trilogy kickstarted by 28 Days Later -- which was followed up with 28 Weeks Later.
"The rights to 28 Days were frozen, effectively, because they were shared between Danny [Boyle], [producer] Andrew [McDonald] and myself, and Fox," he said. "After the second one, none of us really wanted to do another. Fox may or may not have, I don't know."
He went on to reveal that he let the idea come to him naturally without any premeditated conception of a trilogy and talk of Boyle collaborating on Trainspotting 2 surfaced, Garland got inspiration for 28 Months.
"About two years ago, Danny started collaborating on the potential to make Trainspotting 2, another sequel," he said. "In that conversation, an idea for 28 Months arrived. I had a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. Partly because of a trip I'd taken. I had this thought, and I suggested it to Andrew and Danny, but I also said I don't want to work on it. I don't really want to play a role, and Andrew said, 'Leave it to me.' So he's gone off and is working on it."
While no real official word of confirmation has come from Boyle, the director did hint at the fact that 28 Months Later is in the pipeline in previous interviews.
He told The Playlist that he didn't mind working on a sequel to 28 Weeks Later.
"I've got no problem [with that]. It's the usual thing: is it's not about whether people think it's a good idea that you're directing. It's whether you respond to the script or not," he said.
