Ever since 28 Weeks Later opened in 2007, fans of the zombie film series have pondered the existence of third movie that could close the triology. The films' original creative trio - helmer Danny Boyle, producer Andrew McDonald, and writer Alex Garland - have all said that 28 Months Later is a possibility, but not high enough on anyone's agenda to push it into proper development.
Boyle in particular had outlined that if he were to return, he'd do so in an executive producer capacity - like he did on Weeks - but he's now changed his tune on directing. “I've got no problem [with directing],” he told The Playlist. “It’s the usual thing: it's not about whether people think it's a good idea that you're directing. It’s whether you respond to the script or not. It’s just like on [‘Steve Jobs’]. I got the script and I went, 'That was amazing. I hope I can add to that somehow and make it be even better than just the experience of reading it.'"
