![]() About moving forward with a sequel, Murphy remains optimistic though there is nothing currently on the horizon. ![]() The Kildare native’s clan are excited to show their support and attend the most prestigious awards in the world. Regardless, the movie is not in development at this time. Paul Mescal’s family will fly out to join him in Los Angeles for the Oscars later this month. Perhaps they should wait a few more years and just call it 28 Years Later. In all, 28 Weeks Later improves upon 'Days' scares, story, characters, and plot to make for one exciting entry in the horror/sci-fi/drama genre. Especially considering 28 Weeks Later came out in 2007, with more than 14 years having passed. And when you can't see where the terror is coming from in a horror film than you're in for something special. But writer Alex Garland is a little more cynical: 'Ill be honest. ![]() With a horror film, you expect there to be an ample amount of deaths, but the way in which Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directs the deaths is terrifyingly unexpected. The working title is 28 Months Later, and would move the story on even further. Yeah, I'm looking at you every other horror film, it's cool to make them run.īut perhaps the biggest compliment I can give to the film is its utterly unpredictable. Adding to that experience are running zombies. That could lead to pacing and character issues, but with a non-stop action-horror, it actually works to the benefit of the experience. That partly because it's only 100 minutes long, but mostly because the film never takes a breath. All of which, do a wonderful job in roles that aren't necessarily flushed out. Not only do you have some nice lead turns from Robert Carlyle and Catherine McCormack, but you have Idris Elba, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Imogen Poots before they became famous. I also found the cast to be quite impressive. So, in that way I like what the film tried to do. Usually we either see everything as the apocalypse is going down, or maybe several years later. Implausible probably, but we've never really seen an apocalyptic series that attempts to go back and restart civilization from the same area. Of course, apparently it was a good idea for the military to reoccupy London and start building up a civilization again, even though it was the center of disaster only a half a year earlier. 28 Weeks Later picks up after London is deemed safe and virus free, as the undead have starved to death after the events of the previous film. Similar to how the Cloverfield films are related but not directly tied in, 28 Days Later is a prequel of sorts, but the characters and plot are entirely different. There's something so glorious about seeing the streets of London be a wasteland that only occupies a select few living and undead. But there's something about the '28' series that really hits well for me. The 21st century has been flooded with films and TV shows about zombie apocalypses, so it's difficult for any of them to stand out and feel completely fresh.
