While doing the usual press tour rounds for any new movie, Danny Boyle, who is currently promoting Steve Jobs, spoke about the possibility of returning to the zombie world he created in 28 Weeks Later

“I’ve got no problem [with ‘28 Months Later‘],” Boyle explains to IndieWire. “It’s the usual thing, …it’s not about whether people think it’s a good idea that you’re directing. It’s whether you respond to the script or not. It’s just like on [‘Steve Jobs’]. I got the script and I went, ‘That was amazing. I hope I can add to that somehow and it be even better than just the experience of reading it.’ ”

Earlier this year, writer/director Alex Garland spoke about the film, explaining that he offered an idea to producer Andrew Macdonald but he didn’t want to go any further with the series:

About two years ago, Danny started collaborating on the potential to make ‘Trainspotting 2,’ another sequel. In that conversation, an idea for ’28 Months’ arrived. I had a funny idea. I had a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. Partly because of a trip I’d taken. I had this thought, and I suggested it to Andrew and Danny, but I also said I don’t want to work on it. I don’t really want to play a role, and Andrew said, ‘Leave it to me.’ So he’s gone off and is working on it.

Again, nothing is concrete and a third film isn’t even 100% locked down. However, we’re hopeful that something will come of all these discussions. That universe is a great deal of fun!
