Alex Garland may be out promoting his directorial debut EX MACHINA, but the people demand he discuss movies he may or may not be involved with. Just the other day we alerted you to the news he’s pretty much through with DREDD 2 (though he thinks it may happen with someone else), and today we’ve got a minor update on 28 MONTHS LATER, a film that has been on-again, off-again since 28 WEEKS LATER came out.
Much to my surprise, 28 MONTHS LATER is evidently on-again. Garland said as much to IGN in a recent interview, where he also revealed 28 DAYS LATER director and Oscar-winner Danny Boyle is still on board:
We’ve just started talking about it seriously… We’ve got an idea. Danny [Boyle] and [producer] Andrew [Macdonald] and I have been having quite serious conversations about it so it is a possibility. It’s complicated. There’s a whole bunch of reasons why it’s complicated, which are boring so I won’t go into, but there’s a possibility.”
Garland also went on to explain that “months” is the way to go as far as a title:
It’s more likely to be 28 Months than 28 Years” he revealed. “28 Years gives you one more place to go. 28 Decades is probably taking the piss.”
What do you think? Are you down for another 28 movie? Let us know in the comments below.
