Danny Boyle was in a Q&A session and the movie 28 Days Later came up. There has been rumors that Boyle has been thinking about doing this movie and he has the words about his thoughts on the making another film.
Well there's an idea. I've got this idea about how to do it. It's quite a weird idea really, but I need a bit of time to get it worked out properly.
The only firm detail of the movie is that "it wouldn't be set on the sun." That's kind of...funny?
Seriously though, they need to give this up. They ruined the "series" with the second film with the direction they took and making the infected people zombies. Especiallly when Boyle said that in 28 Days Later they weren't zombies and it wasn't a zombie movie.
I mean do we really need ANOTHER political satire about how the US army is incompetent and need to mind their own business with zombies kind of walking aroun din the background? We just need to burn all copies of 28 Weeks Later and call it a day.

Well and Boyle already said it wouldn't be called "28 Months Later", thank god.
US already remade Rec., so I honestly believe the US box office is just going to remake every good / great movie they can. Well and screw it up.
28 Weeks later was one of the better zombie movies to date! Much better than any of the trash George A Romero came out with. Land of the Dead? Seriously? fucking zombies using power tools?! Get the hell outta here.
28 Months later is probably going to be a global outbreak, seeing as the first two were still set in England, and in the end credits of 28 weeks, we see a bunch of infected or "rage" running in France.
Also, if we're going to get picky about what is and isn't classified as a "zombie" then I want people to stop referring to the Infected in L4D as Zombies. They clearly do not shamble nor do they crave "teh brainz". They are clearly mutants and to claim that they are Zombies is racist.

/ˈzɒmbi/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [zom-bee] Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. (in voodoo)
a. the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose.
b. the supernatural force itself.
2. Informal.
a. a person whose behavior or responses are wooden, listless, or seemingly rote; automaton.
b. an eccentric or peculiar person.
By this definition, (fucking WEBSTER bitches) then the Infected ARE zombies.
The second movie wasn't a zombie movie or an action movie. The reason why it was horrible wasn't cause it was "action" based. It was a stupidly written political satire with zombies running in the background. I love me zombie movies and own a lot and I felt the zombies played second fiddle to the underlying message that was directed at Americans. Darn foreigners.
And the reason why 28* and L4D ARE zombies comes from the simple fact that one is dead and one isn't. In 28 Days Later, they aren't dead. They get infected with a virus and they go ATTACK people, NOT bite. They slash and spit on them.
In L4D they are clearly dead which is the number one point. Zombies are the living dead, not the living living.
And the sheer fact that you mentioned "teh brainz" is a clear indication that you don't know what you are talking about (not cause of the internet speak) and you need to watch a zombie movie.
dude but by that rationale, once your infected you begin to decompose, so they inevitably become the living dead. They dont eat, sleep, have no functions expect to infect other creatures that arent infected.
I PROCLAIM A ZOMBIE DISCUSSION!
But one simple fact you are forgetting...in 28 Days Later they waited the infected people out. Until they starved and died. Zombies don't die of starvation. You can't wait out a zombie.
Yeah, I said "zombie."
Yes, 28 Weeks Later jumped on the masses train and called them zombies and made them traditional zombies (minus the running aspect). So yes, 28 Weeks Later were zombies...28 Days Later wasn't. But 28 Weeks wasn't primarily done by the creator, someone else did it.
NOT ZOMBIES!
They mention some of the points discussed here.
(( The HD L4D Video Review is on my PS3. ))
I really loved the first two, of course I loved the first film far more than the 2nd. But knowing Danny Boyle is back on it, just gets me excited. HNNNGGGGGGG.
I would Fecking kill to see that
so it has been written so it shall be done
I welcome 28 months, years, centuries later.
People argue the story was worse 'cause it was "American-ized" or whatever, but really in context it makes sense the US would intervene in an international crisis like that. I mean look at Iraq. We're all up in that shit.
Wait a minute...

You realize you just said "You can't wait out a zombie", right?
What are zombies? They're moving dead flesh. Decomposed and rotting. As in they're dead. Movement aside, they're on the way out. The true advantage to the smart survivor with zombies is that no matter what you do to stay alive, just in doing so, you'll outlast the zombies.
One of the early abandoned concepts of both Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead was meant to touch on being on the backside of a Zombie apocalypse. One where your biggest fear was that the nearby pile of rotted bones still had enough cartilage in it to pose a threat if you were walking around barefoot. Sadly as this would make a totally boring zombie movie, it's never been fully realized in a Romero film, but Boyle touches on the prospect in 28 Days. If you just simply let them roam free, there will be a stopping point. The controlling aspect of the zombies is the brain being intact. One the brain rots completely, there's nothing left and the zombie will cease to function.
End of story.
C'mon...
Also, Danny Boyle should go make something else. Leave the sequels for the chumps to direct.. hell get Brett Rattner for all i care. I'll still have the first film.
