Like most of us, if you’ve been hoping for a sequel to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s 28 Weeks Later, then today’s post will simply shatter your hopes. Alex Garland, who wrote the screenplay for Danny Boyle’s British horror classic 28 Days Later, just dropped some very disappointing news.

When asked if he had any plans to do 28 Months Later, Garland said:

“Kind of, but doubt it will ever happen.”

What can I say? Garland doesn’t sound too confident about a third film ever seeing the light of day, which is a total shame for genre fans. If we hear anything further regarding 28 Months Later, then you’ll be the first to know.
