The days of old franchises returning are seriously upon us and the next installment to get the rebirth treatment is none other than ‘28 Days Later‘!

Danny Boyle, who directed the first zombie horror hit, confirmed that he is returning to the 28 Days franchise with a “wonderful” idea from Ex Machina director and his old collaborator Alex Garland, who wrote the 2002 original.

Boyle told the U.K.-based publication, The Independent.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a third 28 Days Later film, which has been tentatively referred to as 28 Months Later. Back in 2015, Garland spoke about his idea for the sequel, which he described as “a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. Partly because of a trip I’d taken.”

The third 28 Days Later movie, which does not yet have an official title, would be based off an idea by Alex Garland, who wrote the 2002 original but has recently taken off as an-demand sci-fi director following his 2014 breakout film Ex Machina.

Neither Boyle nor Garland returned to work on the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, which was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, but this new idea appears to be good enough to bring both of them back on board for a third film.

No word on when any production is set to take off for the third film but we will be sure to keep all you CritiX up to speed!
