Danny Boyle: 'There May Be a Third '28 Days Later' Movie'

Talk to most any expert on pop-zombie culture and he or she will mention 28 Days Later..., Danny Boyle's 2002 contribution to the horror subgenre that helped renew interest in the idea of society crumbling under the threat of shambling (or this case, infected and sprinting) corpses. The missing link between the Romero-era Dead films and The Walking Dead — compare Cillian Murphy's awakening into a chaotic world to the beginning of the latter's pilot episode — it's a seminal zombie-apocalypse work. And as the director told Rolling Stone during an extensive interview about his upcoming biopic on Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs (which we'll be running in full soon), there may very well be a third 28 Days film.

"There is a kind of synopsis idea for a third part," Boyle says. "Alex [Garland, the original film's screenwriter] has been working on something that’s real interesting. It's partly a military thing…that's all I can say. It'll be interesting to see if we can get it going; we're nowhere near as advanced on that as we are on the Trainspotting sequel. But it might happen, yeah. I certainly hope so."

Neither Boyle nor Garland were directly involved with the film's 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, directed by Spanish filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo; both are listed, however, as executive producers. The rumors that a third movie might be in the works started circulating last May when Garland was doing press for his directorial debut Ex Machina, and told IndieWire that, during Trainspotting 2 conversations, "an idea for 28 Months [Later] arrived. I had a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. Partly because of a trip I'd taken. I had this thought, and I suggested it to [producer] Andrew [Macdonald] and Danny...it's pretty simple." He also mentioned that he wasn't interested in writing it and that Macdonald would be taking over the reins, so any potential third movie may just be based on his original concept.
