28 Years Later can't just stay in London
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 28 Days Later saga is continuing with the long-awaited threequel, 28 Years Later, intended to kickstart a new trilogy – but there’s only one storyline that the movie can use to justify launching a whole trilogy. A 28 Years Later trilogy was first announced to be in development with original producer Andrew Macdonald and former Fox Searchlight boss Peter Rice in January 2024.
28 Years Later's New Trilogy Needs To Go Global Close The plan to make an entire new 28 Years Later trilogy can only be justified by going beyond the series’ UK setting and telling a more global story. Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later are confined to the UK, but the infection can’t just be confined to the UK. If the zombie apocalypse has continued to ravage Britain for more than a quarter of a century, then surely other countries around the world are being affected by it, too.
It could also ruin the intimate, character-focused feel of the original film. 28 Days Later didn’t set out to show the entire scope of the zombie apocalypse; it showed it all through the eyes of Cillian Murphy’s survivor character Jim. That refreshing intimacy and small scale would go out the window if 28 Years Later goes overseas to explore other corners of the world. Going global risks turning 28 Years Later into World War Z.
