If you’re as big a fan of the series as I am then I’m sure you’ll also be highly excited about the prospect of a Danny Boyle directed follow-up to the Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed 28 Weeks Later. Danny Boyle has confirmed interest in directing 28 Months Later and had the following to say when he spoke with Sci-Fi.com:
I’d certainly like to, I feel the idea is quite a strong idea, and it could well involve directing it. Yeah, absolutely.
Danny Boyle did of course direct the first film 28 Days Later, and having produced 28 Weeks Later it now sounds as though he could well turn his hand back to directing for the third film in the series. Scripting for the film has not yet begun, having enjoyed the first two films however I’m sure that when the third film does emerge it’ll be brilliant.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo did an excellent job with 28 Weeks Later, and whilst it had been previously rumoured that Paul Andrew Williams could direct the third, I definitely feel that Danny Boyle would be the best man for the job and the director from which we’d see the best film. As the man who started it all back in 2002, it’d be excellent to see him return to the fray, and assuming that ’28 Months Later’ would be the final film in the series; who better to direct it than the man that initially brought the series to life with the fantastic 28 Days Later.
It’s likely to be a long while yet before we learn any concrete news about 28 Months Later, this latest Danny Boyle rumour is a huge thing to hear however, and if it is confirmed that Danny Boyle is to direct 28 Months Later then we can surely expect an exquisitely fine threequel from him.
