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.

As the purpose of Nivellensem Dreams is to build a mythology as I go with a simple plot pinning it all together, I’ve decided that the central vehicle of the story can also be built this way, bit-by-bit.
