Over 20 years on from the release of the British post-apocalyptic horror,28 Days Later, a third zombie film is finally on the cards, which will apparently move past the slightly rubbish 2007 sequel,28 Weeks Later.
Speaking toInverse, the director and writer of 2002’s28 Days Later, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, have teased that they’ve been contemplating the idea of a thirdfilmfor some time now. The two weren’t involved in the production of28 Weeks Later, which as fans will know, wasn’t nearly as good as the first. In fact, Garland revealed that the sequel almost put him off from returning to the series.

“A few years ago an idea materialised in my head for what would be really28 Years Later,” Garland said. “Danny [Boyle] always liked the idea.”

“So we’re talking about it quite seriously, quite diligently,” Boyle added. “If he doesn’t want to direct it himself I’ll be well up for it if we can execute a similarly good idea.”
“I resisted [making a sequel] for a long time because there were things about28 Weeksthat bugged me,” Garland continued. “I just thought, ‘F**k that. I’d rather try to write a different story in a different world.’”
Speaking ofzombiemovie sequels, English actor and comedianSimon Peggrecentlyaddressed the overwhelming demand for a follow-up toShaun of the Dead, although he didn’t give the response that everyone’s been hoping for for the last 19 years. In aninterviewwith The Guardian, he said: “If I ever do an Instagram Live or whatever, people are always like, ‘I needShaun of the Dead 2in my life.’ And I’m like, ‘No, you don’t f***king needShaun of the Dead 2! The last thing you need isShaun of the Dead 2! It’s done. Move on!’”
