England hasn't even been re-infected with rage yet, but 28 DAYS LATER director and 28 WEEKS LATER exec producer Danny Boyle is already giving consideration to where those speedy homicidal freaks could travel next.

Boyle was apparently out promoting his deep space flick SUNSHINE (which we don't get in the US until later in the year), and told an Irish radio station that he'd like to see the toxic killers invade a nearby European country known for its cuisine, bike race, and general Frenchness. The potential title would be the logical progression: 28 MONTHS LATER (I assume because 28 FORTNIGHTS LATER doesn't translate globally).

Of course, Boyle could just be twisting our nips with a gag... besides, any possible sequel is really up to Fox Atomic, based on how well the sequel does as it mangles people around the world starting in May.

Extra Tidbit: Boyle originally wanted frequent collaborator Ewan McGregor to play the role that eventually went to Cillian Murphy, which ended up being his breakthrough role.

The More Murphy, The Better
I'm good with it as long as Murphy does some more full frontal. Considering that the Days version was only a couple of seconds long, a girl can only hope that with each progressive time frame the length... *ahem*... grows.

28 Monkeys Later
A hybrid 28 Days/12 Monkeys sequel... The whole 'infection' apocalypse future thing could mesh rather well...

The Number 28
Maybe have Jim Carrey skitz out about all the future 28 days later films.

I guess this will help when people decide to make "28 Years Later: IN SPACE".

Hmm...
I hope this doesn't turn out to be a trigger for several more "28" movies.....just imagine:

28 Years Later
28 Decades Later
28 Centuries Later
28 Millenia Later


....I know they wouldn't go THAT crazy, but come on. 28 Days Later didn't need a sequel in the first place.

I hope Boyle knows what he's doing.

This mean there's a 28 Years Later somewhere down the road? And what is the significance of that number beyond the original 28 days? I mean, that's how long it took just about for the whole thing to go into full effect. 196 days later means it's gotten how bad? And then you work in the math for the virus in two-plus years.
