28 weeks later... the sequel.

Post by **reefsurfer** » Wed May 11, 2005 1:40 pm

"Original director Danny Boyle (who now serves as executive producer) spoke recently with SciFi Wire about the film. Here's what he said: "It's got a very good idea in it. [The idea] is that ... Britain has been emptied. There's nobody there. It's completely dead. And six months later the Americans arrive to reboot it back up again." He also went on to say how he wont be directing and how the original cast are too busy to return for the sequel.

DETAILS

- The original cast will not return.
- It's likely that original director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland will take producing roles alongside original producer, Andrew Macdonald.
- Rowan Joffe is in talks to write the script.
- Fox Searchlight is developing this.
- A sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later.

Loved the first one, hope the sequel can be as good. :icon31:

I just watched the first one this weekend. It was a great concept, awesome story, I liked the way the plot twisted once they found "salvation", but..

It was either the directing, the acting, or cookie cutter zombies that made the movie very stale and not good enough to make the keep pile.

Wasn't the first movie "28 Days Later"?

Post by **4days** » Wed May 11, 2005 2:05 pm

the first one was a great movie, rescued from being shit by some nifty editing, a good story, a strong cast and a fairly original take on zombies. only thing that really let it down was the opening sequence in the animal testing lab - badly cast, a crap set. it was like part of an itv drama had been tacked on.

28 days later did extremely well on dvd, and the soundtrack shifted plenty of units as well - looks like it was just enough for some slimy bastard to decide the corpse could take another rogering. that sounds like it'll be a shitty sequel tbh

The first one was so great because it had a gritty, indeoendant, and rather realistic edge. There's no way that can be reproduced in a second movie. I bet it will be like the Blair Witch Project 2.

Post by **Grudge** » Wed May 11, 2005 2:34 pm

I liked the first one. It's one of the better zombie movies I've seen (and I've seen a few).

Oh, and the only good thing that's come out of Australia movie-wise is the Mad Max movies. And that was 20 years ago.

I saw the words 'FOX Searchlight' in that snippet. The movie will suck, which is too bad as I rather enjoyed the first.

28 days later was a good movie up until they got to the military compound... then it just got shitty and totally irrational and uninteresting. horrible ending, the alternative ending where the main dude dies is much more believable... seriously, a gut shot and no doctors, no way he should have lived.

a sequal to that movie though... pointless.

Why does the title say 28 weeks later?

Ah I get it. Right. It's 28 weeks later.

Because its probably 28 weeks after the 28 days... or 28 weeks after the outbreak which was 28 days earlier but then it should be called 32 weeks later..

get it?

but it must be after the 28 days otherwise the 1st half of the film will be 28 days later, so 28 weeks later must be after 28 days later otherwise they would be repeating the same thing and itll be called 28 weeks and 28 days later

True... but if they call it 28 weeks later its probably from when 28 days later ended.

Is it me, or is 28 weeks a very short time span for an enire country to go, and the yanks to come in and save us all?

28 months later, possibly?

Anyways, the first one rocked for what it was. It didn't have a HUGE buggit, or Lucas special effects. What it did have, was style, and it pulled it off very well. It was far far better than the res evil movies lets put it that way.

I would love to see this new film have a bigger budget. It would really own.
