In 2002, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland forever changed the zombie subgenre. While the world had grown use to George A. Romero's classic shambling undead, 28 Days Later introduced audiences to the Rage Virus and the mindless infected who are basically in a full sprint at all times. It took five years for a first sequel to get made (director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's underrated 28 Weeks Later), but now, more than two decades after the series launched, we are finally getting a 28 Years Later, and the project is reteaming Boyle and Garland.
The reunion has been revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, and their collaboration is apparently going to be pitched to "studios, streamers and other potential buyers" this week. What's perhaps most exciting of all is that 28 Years Later isn't the only project that they are thinking about. The trade is saying that there is hope to develop a whole trilogy of sequels.
