When there is a hit film… there’s a sequel. I remember all the buzz about 28 days later when it first came out. A lot of people thought it was an instant classic. I was more reserved in my praise for the flick. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy it… but I didn’t think it warranted as much pop as it got. But still… a solid little flick. And hell… when a movie costs only $8 million to make, and takes in over $80 world wide… it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out there is going to be another one.
Well that other one is on it’s way, and it’s called “28 Weeks Later“. The good folks over at Digital Spy give us this:
Fox Atomic, an offshoot of 20th Century Fox, have revealed information about the sequel to hit film 28 Days Later. Their press release states: “The film picks up six months after the Rage virus has decimated the city of London. The U.S. Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city, when a carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the spread of the deadly infection, wreaking havoc on the entire population.”
Looks like Cillian Murphy won’t be back (since his paycheque now would be bigger than the whole budget of the original film), but the writers are back.
Ok, here’s the deal… this does look and sound interesting, I’ll give it that. But come on. ANOTHER zombie movie?!?! Look, I like them about as much as the next guy… BUT THEY’RE ALL THE FREAKING SAME MOVIE!!! Dawn, Day, Night, Afternoon, and F’ING Tea Time Of The Dead. Enough! Give us a little bit of a break… PLEASE.
