28 Months Later

I’m a big fan of 28 Days Later and was very plesantly suprised by the unecessary but entertaining sequel Weeks. 28 Months Later was in pre-production when the Fox Atomic label got shut down. Apparently though, the head and her films are likely moving to 20th Century Fox so hopefully we’ll indeed see this movie in a couple of years. Though I personally doubt Danny Boyle will have much to do with it, I would love to see him return.

Trainspotting 2 and 28 Months Later

Although Danny Boyle has other projects on, he’s long talked of the possibility of a Trainspotting part 2 and another 28 Days Later sequel.
Here’s a mini-interview of him talking Slumdog (very briefly) and mentioning that they have an interesting idea for 28 part 3.

Danny Boyle: filmography to date

Danny Boyle hasn’t made a hundred films and he doesn’t need to. Every film he has made has been special and though some are better than others, it is obvious that the man has a lot of talent. With Slumdog Millionaire causing a stir, I take a look at both Slumdog and his previous works.

Slumdog Millionaire

Finally Danny Boyle is getting the recognition he deserves (again). Slumdog Millionaire, his brand new film (out today here in the UK) is considered by many to be a return to form – back to his glory days of Trainspotting. For me though, Danny Boyle never left. 28 Days Later alone is a highly-emulated and generally respected piece in its genre, which can’t be easy when you’re doing horror, which is very rarely seen as anything but gory exploitative trash.
