Cult sci-fi movie from 28 Years Later filmmakers was supposed to be the first in an "interplanetary" trilogy

Cillian Murphy in Sunshine.

Danny Boyle has revealed that his cult sci-fi thriller Sunshine could have been the first part of a trilogy, if only it'd done a little better at the box office.

Starring Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, and Michelle Yeoh, Sunshine is set in the year 2057 in a version of the future where the sun is dying and the Earth is in danger of freezing to death. The movie, written by Boyle's 28 Days Later collaborator Alex Garland, follows a group of astronauts who are sent on a dangerous mission to reignite the Sun with a bomb.
