Garland himself penned the original script to 28 Days Later, and while he passed the script-writing torch for the films sequel, 28 Weeks Later, he did executive produce. As he tell IGN, if 28 Months Later becomes a reality, he will likely pass off the script-writing duties again and take up the helm as executive producer. But from what Garland says, an idea is in place...
Of course, this isnt the first time weve heard chatter of a third film in the franchise. Rumors have been swirling essentially since 28 Weeks Later released in 2007. Fans were a bit jerked around by Boyle and Garland with lots of promises of a sequel and then promises that a sequel wouldnt actually happen. Garland didnt go into the nuts and bolts of bringing a 28 Months Later film to the big screen--saying it was too boring--but he did let IGN know that there were some serious complications standing in the way of a 28 Months Later movie. That certainly explains the years of will they/wont they weve had over a third film. However, Garland has a strong idea for the third film, and the fact that he is having actual conversations with Danny Boyle and Andrew Macdonald should give fans real hope that they may see a 28 Months Later movie soon.
