EXCLUSIVE: The new 28 Years Later trilogy from director Danny Boyle and Sony Pictures is gaining momentum, and some serious star power. Sources tell Deadline that Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes have boarded the first pic, a sequel to the original 28 Days Later.

Deadline recently broke the news that the studio has already tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to helm the second part of the trilogy, and that the plan is to shoot both films back to back. As for the three newest cast members, the studio is clearly showing it means business, adding star power instead of going the lesser-known-actor route like in previous installments
I’m cautiously excited but still can’t understand why the studio has already planned for a whole trilogy
That seems way too optimistic. I can’t believe we had to hold our breath waiting for Dune 2 to get greenlit weeks after Dune 1 was released, and these guys are already planning on a trilogy.
And what will they call the others? 28 Decades Later? 28 centuries later?
I expect an inverse progression: “28 Hours Later,” which will end on a cliffhanger leading into “28 Minutes Later.”
Followed by the first ever post-credits scene to also be a full-blown sequel, 28 Seconds Later
Had the same thought and hoped someone would follow up.
Ooh that’s even better lol
As best I can tell, Alex Garland (with Danny Boyle) came up with the idea and were able to convince the studio to give them the money to do it. I trust Garland enough that he would only commit to this if he had a story to tell but we’ll wait and see.
