I had a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. "In that conversation, an idea for 28 Months arrived. "About two years ago, Danny started collaborating on the potential to make Trainspotting 2, another sequel," he said. 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. "After the second one, none of us really wanted to do another. "The rights to 28 Days were frozen, effectively, because they were shared between Danny, Andrew and myself, and Fox," he said.
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 writer of The Beach, Ex Machina, and 28 Days Later, has revealed that the project will be going forward with producer Andrew McDonald.
#Alex garland 28 months later script movie#
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.Ģ8 Months Later, the final in the trilogy of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, was most recently confirmed by author Alex Garland.
Armed with an excellent cast, the film actually makes the fans want to see proposed trilogy-ender 28 Months Later made some point soon.28 Months Later is actually be happening, even though development might take some time. Alex Garland's script hits many good notes as we follow him through an epidemic which has destroyed the country and, at every point, we really feel for him and his journey.Īn honourable mention must go to the Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed sequel, 28 Weeks Later, which managed to be an interesting and original take on a society trying to rebuild itself. When you get an excellent film-maker like Danny Boyle entering the horror genre, the results are clearly going to be good but it's obvious from the opening, desolate shots of an empty London to the brilliant score by John Murphy that this is a particularly special entry.Īlthough Christopher Eccleston's military major is a little bit too obvious a villain, the film never really descends into cliché and Jim remains a viable everyman character on which to place our emotions. Similar to many zombie films, it's quickly obvious that the monsters aren't the infected but the humans that still walk the streets. The story details his attempts at survival from a broken down London city to a military-run mansion outside of Manchester. When animal liberation activists release 'rage' infected monkeys, society breaks down within a month leaving only a few survivors in the big cities including Cillian Murphy's Jim who, Day of the Triffids style, has been in a coma through the whole thing and has missed the epidemic. Granted, they're 'infected' and not 'zombies' but you'd be hard pushed to see too much difference between the two when they're chowing down. Although many think the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake was the first 'fast zombie' film it's actually Danny Boyle's excellent film that introduced us to sprinting hordes.
