Alex Garland Confirms 28 Months Later is Coming


Earlier this year, Alex Garland and Danny Boyle have expressed their interest in adding 28 Months Later to their zombie franchise. Speaking to IndieWire, Garland said that they're moving ahead with the project, but he's probably not going to be involved with it. He still came up with the idea for the film; here's what he said about that:

"In that conversation, and idea for 28 Months [Later] 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 [producer Andrew Macdonald] and [Danny Boyle], 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."

He's probably taking on a bigger project, especially after getting a lot of praise for his brilliant Ex Machina film. (Seriously, you gotta watch this amazing science fiction movie now! You can read our review by clicking here.) He still expressed his excitement for 28 Months Later, saying:

"Yeah. It's pretty simple. Don't you think those are, in a way, better? Because there is no momentum now, and you've had an organic, real spark about where I can take this. And it just popped into your head, kind of thing. Rather than, ‘Okay, I'm going to make a sequel'."

Garland sounds confident about his idea; whatever it is, I hope they make this film happen soon, so I could find out already. I'm a fan of this zombie franchise, and I'm sure that they can top off its two previous films. Are you excited to see 28 Months Later?
