![]() I’d love to see these guys cook up another zombie story and bring Murphy back for the ride. It would be great if Boyle was actually working on it behind the scenes right now. Every couple of years it will come up, or going, 'Do you want to do that?' and then for some reason it never happens." "I have got a really cool idea for it, but it's a much bigger movie, and one of the things about 28 Days Later is that it was small and punk and this idea is less small and punk. When previously talking about this possible third movie, Garland said: But a third part would get people in, if it was half-decent.” ![]() It’s hard for companies distributing films and for cinema chains to show films, they’re struggling to get people into the cinema unless it’s something like Top Gun: Maverick or a Marvel. “It might come back into focus because one of the things that’s happening in the business at the moment is it has to be a big reason for you to go to the cinema, because there are less and less reasons. It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. It sounds like he’s ready to make an effort to develop it. The script for the film was written by Alex Garland, and in a previous interview, Boyle teased a renewed interest in making the films. “That is a movie I watched with my kids not too long ago, and I feel that one, you know, it’s aged well.”Īt one point several years ago the movie was supposed to move forward, but it never did. Murphy then joked that the film would have to be called 28 Years Later because of the long gap between films. There needs to be a script, and Danny needs to find the time, and Alex needs to feel that there’s more story to tell.” While speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Murphy shared he is open to revisiting another chapter of the zombie horror franchise, saying: Now, Cillian Murphy is saying that he’d also love to do it!
