It’s been almost two decades since Danny Boyle’s Rage virus decimated the streets of London and its surrounding boroughs, but fans have been quietly holding out hope that he’d one day return to the franchise he helped birth back in 2002 with 28 Days Later.
Following a less-than-stellar sequel that Boyle didn’t direct – that responsibility fell to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo – the series was said to be making a comeback via the long-gestating third installment, 28 Months Later, though it’s been some time since we’ve had any substantial updates on it. As such, many suspect that the project is dead.
That’s only been made even more clear by Alex Garland, who wrote the first film and offered a brief status report on the sequel via a Reddit Ama session. When asked if we could still expect to see it happen, he said that he doubts it’ll ever get off the ground.
