But a third part would get people in, if it was half-decent.”Ģ8 Days Later star Cillian Murphy comments with a laugh, “I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older. It’s hard for companies distributing films and for cinema chains to show films, they’re struggling to get people into the cinema unless it’s something like Top Gun: Maverick or a Marvel. Anyway, we’ll see… who knows?”īoyle adds, “It might come back into focus because one of the things that’s happening in the business at the moment is it has to be a big reason for you to go to the cinema, because there are less and less reasons. It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. “ It feels like a very good time actually. “ I’d be very tempted ,” Boyle tells NME, referring to the script that Alex Garland ( 28 Days Later, Annihilation, Men) has written. In a new 20th anniversary chat with NME that was published this week, the 28 Days Later director noted that a script has been written – and now may be the time to dust it off. But maybe, just maybe, Danny Boyle is ready to bring the infected back to the screen. Another sequel, 28 Months Later, has been talked about multiple times over the years, with all parties expressing interest but the project never coming to life. If we get them, we’ll make sure you all see them, and hopefully we can clear this whole thing up.It’s been 20 years since the release of 28 Days Later, which was of course followed by sequel 28 Weeks Later in 2007. To clear things up, Fox Atomic has offered to send us those pictures of Danny Boyle working on the set Monday. The whole thing seems very strange, and at this point it’s a little hard to know who to believe. But keep in mind, since DNA did 28 Days, 28 Weeks, and Sunshine, you know that Danny, Andrew McDonald, Alex Garland and the rest of the crew are involved in every single thing anyway!” So why is Danny Boyle contradicting them if he actually worked on the movie? They speculate, “I think he's saying that because he really wants this to be Juan Carlos' film, and because he really has his mind on Sunshine right now. I have pictures of Danny on the set, and i know for a fact that he directed parts of the film (specifically an opening scene with Robert Carlyle).” They say, “I can tell you that Danny was very involved in the film. And since he has Sunshine coming out right now, which he did direct, he's completely overwhelmed with that film anyway.” So they’re sticking by their stance. That said, Danny has told us many times that he wants Juan Carlos to shine, not him. He didn't want this film to be all about him. That was Danny's way of making sure that this new guy gets his due. In that introduction, Danny says why he hand-picked Juan Carlos to direct the sequel and that he's passing the torch, if you will. We contacted Fox Atomic for their take on Boyle’s comments, and here’s what they told us: ”A few months ago, we taped a little intro with Danny and Juan Carlos that we showed a few of the long lead press. He didn't say "Yeah, sure I filmed a few scenes." or "Yeah, I hung out on set to supervise some stuff".


When wrapping up the interview, presenter Sian Williams asked him about 28 Weeks Later and how he was involved. He blew Fox Atomic's claims out of the water while on a live interview for BBC Breakfast News Wednesday morning, promoting Sunshine in the UK. So, it's a shame nobody told Danny what he'd apparently been doing on the 28 Weeks Later movie.

After all, Paramount went out their way to resell Transformers as a HARD ACTION movie with rumors of "almost-R-rated" action after AICN leaked info that the movie contained scenes of cringe worthy slapstick. If I was Fox Atomic I'd probably do the same and go on a PR offensive to do whatever I could to associate the movie with Danny Boyle in any way possible to try and win over this unreceptive crowd.

Reaction to the trailer on the internet last week was lukewarm at best, with most people commenting that it doesn't look a patch on the original.
