Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Fiennes To Star In ‘28 Years Later’ For Danny Boyle And Sony Pictures

Uhh, is 28 Years Later going to be a trilogy? Or is this the final movie capping off the two we already have? We did have two, right? 28 Weeks Later was a thing?

Did I dream it?

28 Weeks Later was a thing?

Definitely a thing.

Uhh, is 28 Years Later going to be a trilogy?

Yep, that’s the plan - the last part of a trilogy of films is, itself, a trilogy of films. Alex Garland is writing them all and Danny Boyle is back to direct the first one, Cillian Murphy isn’t currently listed as having an acting role but he is an executive producer so it seems pretty obvious that he’ll be in front of the camera at some point.

It does seem ambitious but Garland knows what he is doing and the studios wouldn’t have signed off on the project and handed over a chunk of change without seeing a solid overview of the story arc. So I am optimistic that this is going to work.

Aaron Taylor Johnston pulling a “blue steel” in that pic.

Jodie Comer is going to be so good in something like this, she’s fun to watch. Ralph Fiennes also always brings it.

Can’t wait to see how the 28 Days Later world has progressed, or I guess, regressed.

I am blown away by Jodie Comer.

I’m bothered that it wasn’t “28 Months Later,” but this is what happens when movies take so long to be green lit.

28 Weeks Later rather scuppered that one. I imagine that, one day, someone will get the green light to make a flashback film.

I’m cautiously excited but still can’t understand why the studio has already planned for a whole trilogy

That seems way too optimistic. I can’t believe we had to hold our breath waiting for Dune 2 to get greenlit weeks after Dune 1 was released, and these guys are already planning on a trilogy.

And what will they call the others? 28 Decades Later? 28 centuries later?

I expect an inverse progression: “28 Hours Later,” which will end on a cliffhanger leading into “28 Minutes Later.”

Ooh that’s even better lol

Followed by the first ever post-credits scene to also be a full-blown sequel, 28 Seconds Later

Had the same thought and hoped someone would follow up.

As best I can tell, Alex Garland (with Danny Boyle) came up with the idea and were able to convince the studio to give them the money to do it. I trust Garland enough that he would only commit to this if he had a story to tell but we’ll wait and see.
