Overview
- Danny Boyle told JoBlo on Friday that he still intends to direct the third 28 Years Later film, that Alex Garland has written a script, and that he hopes to begin filming next year.
- Boyle said the project missed this year’s schedule because core scenes must be shot in a part of Britain that is only filmable in narrow seasonal windows.
- The second film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, earned strong reviews but underperformed commercially, with reports of roughly $25 million domestic and about $58 million worldwide gross and an early Netflix release.
- Key cast and creators have signaled readiness to return—Cillian Murphy has said he would like to come back and young star Alfie Williams posted a tease—but Sony has issued no formal production timetable.
- Production timing could also be affected by Boyle’s other film Ink, slated for 2027, and the project will likely await scheduling, permits and a studio greenlight before moving forward.
