Movies and TV Shows

28 Days Later was 22 years ago. (!)

Maybe they've been secretly filming this movie for 28 years!!

I think after the Dredd debacle, Garland has directed all his own movies, so it'll be interesting to see another one written by him but directed by Boyle.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Culver City-based studio has come out on top after a protracted bidding war to win the rights to the sequel package to the 2002 horror classic 28 Days Later.

WME, which reps Boyle and Garland, took the package out to the Hollywood studios and streamers almost three weeks ago, generating immediate interest and intense wooing.

More than 20 years ago, Boyle and Garland collaborated on 28 Days Later, the film that reinvigorated the zombie genre, paving the way for titles such as The Walking Dead, World War Z and Zombieland, The Last of Us, to name a few.

Murphy starred as a man who wakes up from a coma, alone in a hospital, only to discover the outside world had been overtaken by the undead 28 days earlier.

The 2002 film grossed $82.7 million globally and spawned a sequel, 2007’s 28 Weeks later, though Boyle and Garland were only nominally involved as executive producers.

Boyle went on to direct best picture winner Slumdog Millionaire, while Garland became a director of features such as Ex Machina, considered a modern sci-fi classic, and the upcoming A24 film Civil War.
