Though that is not where the talks of a third installment in the franchise started; according to Den of Geek, Garland revealed to IGN conversations had begun in 2015, then later in 2019, Boyle stated to The Independent that the movie was “in the works.” Since then, there has been no update, until of course, the recent in-depth article by Inverse done on June 27th of this year.
Writer Alex Garland had this to say about doing a sequel, “I resisted it for a long time because there were things about 28 Weeks that bugged me. I just thought, “F**k that. I’d rather try to write a different story in a different world…But a few years ago an idea materialized in my head for what would be really 28 Years Later. Danny always liked the idea.”
Both Producer Andrew Macdonald and Director Danny Boyle seemed on board for a 28 Years Later film, and once again, there has been confirmation that there are talks for a third installment as Boyle stated, “So we’re talking about it quite seriously, quite diligently. If he doesn’t want to direct it himself I’ll be well up for it, if we can execute a similarly good idea.”
Will the film finally see the light of day? Only time will tell.
