28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER are examples of what I like to call "unofficial" comics movies. That is, while they aren't adaptations of a comic, they might as well be. They've got a similar aesthetic and I don’t think anybody’s going to argue that there isn’t a significant overlap in the audience. Boom’s even been putting out a 28 DAYS LATER comic for more than a year, now. The lines have blurred and blended together like blood and brains.

With that squared, I think a lot of you Comic Vine maniacs would be interested in knowing that Danny Boyle is looking to direct a third movie for the series, appropriately-titled 28 MONTHS LATER (the word given to Dread Central.)   However, considering how he’s one of those director’s who always seems to have five projects going at once (he’s the creative director of the 2012 Olympics!) this could likely end up being another case of him opting to step back and produce while another bloke sits in the director’s chair. Regardless, as a genre fan, I get a special satisfaction out of the fact that an Oscar-wining director is seriously mulling over doing a zombie movie. So the worm has turned... == TEASER ==

I’d almost be more interested in seeing them skip to the inevitable 28 YEARS LATER. The central conceit of THE WALKING DEAD is that it’s showing what happens to these characters beyond the limited window usually afforded by a movie. Even though that book’s been running for years now, we’ve really yet to see what happens to a society in the decades following the outbreak of a zombie apocalypse.  

Have any of you been reading the Boom comics? Are there any elements introduced there that you’d like to see in 28 MONTHS LATER?

Never really cared for this comic

Why don't the infected just die already!? Remember, all you have to do is starve them!

"I have seen 28 Weeks Later recently. It was pretty good. But I was wondering..... In the ending scene, did the two kids and the black pilot survived the helicopter crash? Or are they dead? "

Dread Central got a shout-out here? Fuck yes.

28 Days Later - good movie 
28 Weeks Later - bad movie 
28 Months Later - probably shouldn't be made....

Ocean's 13.

What I REALLY want to see is "28 SECONDS Later"!

Zombie! Infected! Gimme!

wouldnt even bother.

I'm kind of interested in the long term generational effects as well. With the idea that some humans carry and process the virus differently opens a lot of possibility over 28 years. 
 
No matter what they do I can't wait till they do it. I never met a zombie movie I didn't like.

I am a massive fan of the 28 days/weeks films and absolutely love the horror genre in movies and comics... but for some reason I just could not get into the comics for this.
 
...but I'd like to see a 28 Months later film. The franchise just feels like it needs a third, especially with the ending it leaves us with in 28weeks later. Watching the results of a world wide outbreak would be interesting. But the movie would have to work on atmosphere and tension a bit better than 28weeks. The first one had this sense of isolation and despair which contrasted with the little moments of joy that the survivors had when we saw them having little bursts of fun now and then. 28Weeks had some memorable scenes... but ultimately just wasn't the same. 
 
The opening bit of 28Weeks later is my favourite part of the movie (which starts in the house, the chase through the field and ends with the boat at the river), and that was done by Boyle and not  Fresnadillo who did the rest of the movie. So I have faith in Boyle to deliver in 28months what he did with 28days.
 
I say 28months later would rock if they went back to the 'small group of survivors' thing, working off of tension with-in the group aside from the threat of the infected. Show us a world torn and on the verge of being traditional post- apocalyptic, as in it looks totally shattered to hell... but it also looks like just yesterday everything was normal.  
 
Also I think this would be the perfect time to flog off my little zombie short :P

cool that an oscar winning director is doing a zombie threequel.  but then again he is famous for being diverse in projects
i cant wait for 127 hours.

I haven't read the comics, but I thought 28 Weeks Later was far superior to 28 Days Later, and I look forward to the next installment in the series. I don't expect to see this movie for another 2 years though.

I'd love for Boyle to direct 28 Months Later but I do not see it happening. I'm not even too confident in the film ever happening. It has been a while.

For those of you interested in the long term after effects of a zombie outbreak you should read World War Z by Max Brooks, it handles the aftermath of a world wide outbreak extremely well and the movie is still in the works.

With Danny Boyle back directing I have high hopes for 28 Months Later.

" I have seen 28 Weeks Later recently. It was pretty good. But I was wondering..... In the ending scene, did the two kids and the black pilot survived the helicopter crash? Or are they dead? "

I absolutely adore the theme music to these films.

I liked 28 Weeks Later, maybe more than the first one.

Selena's current predicament in the comic books is totally unsettling. "Stay in the circle" I hope Boyle returns to do a third film! I didn't enjoy the last one all that much, but I still wouldn't mind seeing 28 Months Later.
