Zombie fans can rejoice as it appears a new sequel to much-loved horror flick 28 Days Later is in the works.<\/p>\n

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the director and writer of the 2002 film, are set to reunite for the movie – named 28 Years Later.<\/p>\n

They are said to be planning a trilogy of sequels.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter said multiple sources had confirmed the project would be offered to “studios, streamers and other potential buyers” this week.<\/p>\n

It said Boyle was lined up to direct the first sequel, while Garland would write all three films, which would reportedly each have a budget of around $75m.<\/p>\n

The pair would also produce the trilogy.<\/p>\n

28 Days Later depicted an eerie version of the UK in the wake of a mysterious virus and starred Oppenheimer and Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy alongside Naomie Harris, who went on to play Moneypenny in the James Bond franchise.<\/p>\n

A sequel, 28 Weeks Later, followed in 2005 and featured Jeremy Renner and Robert Carlyle, but had a different writer and director.<\/p>\n

The films reinvigorated the then unfashionable zombie genre and helped pave the way for later takes such as The Walking Dead, The Last Of Us and World War Z.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
