A Script For 28 Months Later Is In The Works

The last time we heard anything about 28 Months Later was earlier this year when 28 Days writer, and 28 Weeks Later producer Alex Garland revealed that the threequel was a possibility.

Now, speaking to Playlist, Garland offered an update on the project, which he says he won't be actively involved let alone write. However, he also says that he had the idea for it, so I'm guessing he might still get  story by credit should the film move forward.

About two years ago, Danny [Boyle, who directed 28 Days Later from Garland’s script] started collaborating on the potential to make Trainspotting 2, another sequel. In that conversation, an idea for 28 Months arrived. 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 [producer] Andrew [Mcdonald] 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.

Garland also added that he isn't a big fan of sequels since they tend to be rushed to try and capitalize on the success of the first film.

Sequels are generally done in a rush. It's done with a sense of urgency. The first movie, you spend a long time developing to get it over the line. The second thing, you don't. Your expectations are different and your motivations are different.
