28 MONTHS LATER Has A Director??

NICE by Cletus Van Damme	Oct 7th, 2008 10:50:57 AM
Yes yes yes!
Isn't he directing 28 MONTHS LATER? AICN needs an editor. by FuckMichaelBay	Oct 7th, 2008 10:54:50 AM
Fucking five year olds who let spelling mistakes go on a daily basis. PROOFREAD MOTHERFUCKERS!
No Danny Boyle...not really interested... by FlickaPoo	Oct 7th, 2008 10:56:34 AM
...28 Days later was unlike anything out at the time and left you with something to think about. After the first five minutes (which were pretty damn intense) 28 Weeks later turned into just another running around and stuff blowing up movie.

london to brighton is the business by cottonheadedninnymuggins	Oct 7th, 2008 10:57:39 AM
and the cottage is big dumb fun.... with the right script it should be pretty good...
Too Bad 'The Cottage' is a Steaming Hot Pile of Shit. by biggerjohn	Oct 7th, 2008 10:57:52 AM
Seriously, I saw it for free on a preview and I felt shortchanged. A terrible film (so very very not funny and the most lazy horror plot I have ever seen)- and I really liked 'London to Brigthon' but keep this man away from this flick. I thought Boyle was considering doing another one.
Cottage was not good by thinboyslim.	Oct 7th, 2008 10:58:37 AM
London 2 Brighton is rather good if slightly disturbing, almost docu style. The only thing to say about The Cottage is poor poor Andy Serkis, you're good, real good, don't do films with third rate page 3 girls.
nah, merrick needs an editor by thinboyslim.	Oct 7th, 2008 10:59:51 AM

"28 Weeks later turned into just another running around and stuff blowing up movie." no concept of metaphors or irony... you must be a yank....
cottonheadedninnymuggins...if you are referring... by FlickaPoo	Oct 7th, 2008 11:02:59 AM
...to the "political subtext"...yeah, I get it. Still didn't hold a candle to the original though.
i'm gonna wait for 28 CENTURIES LATER by newc0253	Oct 7th, 2008 11:06:45 AM

I'm waiting for the prequel, 28 Seconds Later by rev_skarekroe	Oct 7th, 2008 11:08:55 AM
Holy crap, that monkey's going to bite me! AAARRGHHH! The End.

That's just it... by Darth Macchio	Oct 7th, 2008 11:11:56 AM
Where is there to go with this other than a new outbreak of the rage virus? The formula only has so much in terms of legs unless what you're getting is basically an extension of the original story (in other words...hour 3, 4 and maybe hour 5 of the exact same movie) meaning it would take something extraordinary to make this more than what it already is...the idea of the "carrier" was great but not really used for more than just reigniting the virus that was thought contained. I mean what we usually get is the exact same plot and script with just innovative ways of killing people (the helicopter scene was dumb, sorry). I don't envy the writers of this....it's almost guaranteed to be 'been there, done that' at best.
The first one was awesome... by WillowFan2001	Oct 7th, 2008 11:13:06 AM
And the second one was still pretty good, but they were already pushing it. Why MUST they strive for a third? Isn't two jackpots enough for these people?
Make a WALKING DEAD HBO show instead. by FlickaPoo	Oct 7th, 2008 11:14:51 AM

ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM by skynetbauxi	Oct 7th, 2008 11:19:07 AM

This Halloween, England gets 28days later tv show...sort of by HarryBlackPotter	Oct 7th, 2008 11:21:06 AM
It's called Dead Set and is kinda like Big Brother meets George Romero. Looks cool.
Where else to go with the movie??? by Monkey Butler	Oct 7th, 2008 11:26:58 AM
The end of 28 Weeks Later showed zombies in Paris. The fact that all of Europe, Asia and potentially Africa could have been infected within two years is a pretty badarse premise I think. Make it a refugee movie or something, or have people trying to hide out in Siberia where the zombies would just freeze to death. Or set it in Australia where everything's fine and everyone's sitting on a beach laughing at how shit the rest of the world is.
Cool by Judge Briggs	Oct 7th, 2008 11:29:30 AM
I loved both movies... and I am glad that they are going with directors with actual talent and flavor to their direction. I wonder where this movie will be set? Paris? Perhaps Russia? U.S.?

London To Brighton was great but.. by RobFromBackEast	Oct 7th, 2008 11:30:03 AM
The Cottage was utter shite. Still, nice choice
Oh and please adapt... by Judge Briggs	Oct 7th, 2008 11:30:08 AM
The Walking Dead into a t.v. series on HBO!
The Cottage wasn't good enough to get me excited. by Knuckleduster	Oct 7th, 2008 11:31:32 AM
Why not just bring back the dude who made 28 Weeks Later? I think he did a great job on the sequel. I second the idea for a Walking Dead TV series. Zombies on a weekly basis would be awesome.
well good then, because this news is false by Jarek	Oct 7th, 2008 11:32:26 AM
Straight from Twitch: "" UPDATE In a very brief email from the powers that be on this film I am told that any rumor of Paul Andrew Williams’ involvement in 28 Months Later is “totally untrue”. Here the update ends, with the original post below for reference’ sake. "
Metaphors and irony? by Die_Hardest	Oct 7th, 2008 11:32:45 AM
Yeah, in 28 Days Later. 28 Weeks was a run of the mill action film complete with a guy decapitating zombies with a helicopter and a Big Boss Bad Guy zombie. If you see a lot of metaphors and irony in a paint by numbers action flick with shallow political subtext, you must be a Brit. (I had to)
Rage does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Oct 7th, 2008 11:36:41 AM
This is pretty cool news. The first two films were intense, hard hitting, gory horrors - more of that please. However, because both were localized to England they never felt truly apocalyptic 'end of the world'. This third film, budget allowing, could go down that road. Worldwide rage! Bring it on!
4th in a Series - Third without Sandra Bullock? by Squashua	Oct 7th, 2008 11:39:13 AM
28 Days - Drunks 28 Days Later - Drunken Rampages 28 Weeks Later - Drunken Bender Revisited 28 Months Later - More Drunken Rampages?
Yeah, Aussies are the way to go. by FluffyUnbound	Oct 7th, 2008 11:39:44 AM
Eurasia and Africa are toast, and the ragers are finding enough to eat that they haven't all starved, and the Aussies and Americans are freaking out because untended nuke plants are threatening to melt down all across Europe. So they have teams that go in to shut the plants down, and take out the spent fuel rods so they can be stored somewhere. And some radical apocalyptic cult or group tries to take out one of the teams while they're in action, because they WANT the nuke plants to start to melt down to wipe out what's left of humanity with radiation. So you have a three way battle between the cult and the nuke plant team and the ragers. And you use the miniature conflict to make whatever "deep" political or philosophical points the director feels compelled to make in order to justify telling this story.
28 films later by Boba Fat	Oct 7th, 2008 11:47:12 AM

'weeks' was better than 'days' by Mr Gorilla	Oct 7th, 2008 12:02:09 PM
OK?
by grainy	Oct 7th, 2008 12:03:06 PM
I hated WEEKS. It's the only film I can remember where I wanted the protagonists to die to the zombies. Not just because of the hapy ending it would ensure (in that I would jump up and down and generally be happy), but because those douchebags fucking deserved it. Who breaks a military-imposed quarantine on the single greatest disease humanity has ever known to ride bikes?!!!
I'll wait until 28 Million Later... by Kid Z	Oct 7th, 2008 12:03:23 PM

Max Brooks is Mel Brooks' son... by Kid Z	Oct 7th, 2008 12:05:41 PM

How is it possible.. by 5_day_forecast	Oct 7th, 2008 12:16:39 PM
That every hack director who cut an "edgy" trailer with their new HD camcorders keep getting all these fucking directing gigs, yet Brad Anderson gets stuck making fucking awesome movies that nobody ever notices!?! Shit man - if Nolan doesn't come back for Batman, Anderson's my first replacement.
There aren't any zombies... by UndeadXeke	Oct 7th, 2008 12:16:43 PM
...in 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later. Why do people keep saying they're zombies? I enjoyed both movies, I'll keep an open mind for the third one.
Completely agree with people asking... by UndeadXeke	Oct 7th, 2008 12:18:08 PM

meh by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 7th, 2008 01:26:51 PM
i liked one and two...but in a very lukewarm way. things that turned me off about the first one was seeing out hero (Cillian Murphy) change from a bean-pole gimp to a "plan on the second", soldier killing badass within mintues...that part dragged the movie into WTF!!! territory...otherwise i enjoyed it. two...i enjoyed more than one, Robert Carlyle freaking out and killing his wife the way he did after becoming infected was very stirring and brutal, took the film to a crazy/cool twisted territory.
28 Days Later? Not as great as you think it is by newc0253	Oct 7th, 2008 01:33:11 PM
Face it, 28 Days had a great opening 30 minutes but it had a lazy and boring third act. 28 Weeks was a reasonable twist, but it devolved into more of the same. I'd normally say the third film in a series like this is more than likely to suck ass, but then I saw Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and that was actually better than the first two...

As long as they bring back Begby and his all access card I'm there cuz that shit was brilliant movie making.

Days is great, weeks is shit by theGoldbergV	Oct 7th, 2008 02:18:18 PM
Seriously guys, 28 Days Later is a clever, low-budget, atmospheric pic. 28 Weeks Later was a by the numbers action fare with too much CGI, unneccessary gore and a naff plot twist. And it started off pretty cool, but then all Robert Carlyle's wife just happen to be immune from the virus, what the shit is that all about?

"28 Days had a boring third act?" by newc0253	Oct 7th, 2008 03:10:06 PM
yes, yes it did. it was straight up standard action fare, and all the more implausible given that the hero was a weedy fucking bike messenger, and all of a sudden he's bloody Rambo. Listen, I like explosions and shit as much as the next movie fan but 28 Days pretty much nosedives as a film as soon as they reach the compound. "And then they all turned on each other, in the most violent way possible" is Danny Boyle's standard way to end a film, from Shallow Grave, The Beach, to Sunshine and the resolution of 28 Days was no different.

Zombies are dead. These things are not dead by Knobules	Oct 7th, 2008 03:31:39 PM
But they act like Zombies and they run, unlike Zombies, unless its the Dawn remake then they run like 28 days later infected zombies who act like ... ah fuckit. Weeks was great. chopper chopup, great scene.
newc0253 by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 7th, 2008 03:35:47 PM
AGREED...those are the issues i had with the film as well, the third act almost feels like a completely different movie...like Paul W. Anderson took over while Danny Boyle took a vacation from the rest of filming.
zombies or not. by Campion	Oct 7th, 2008 03:57:31 PM
I saw both films (Days was MUCH better), but I don't remember whether they ever found a cure for the virus. If not, then these things, while technically just "sick", had no chance of getting better. They would never be "humans" in a normal sense again. In the 'real' world, like where zombies don't exist, the state of those things is totally the same, minus the living dead part. Sort of a real-life zombie movie. Does that make any sense?

I'm all for an HBO zombie series by Ben Addiction	Oct 8th, 2008 12:43:21 AM
But please- no Walking Dead and no World War Z! Neither one was particularly well written. Walking Dead is the very definition of "making shit up as you go along." There's no overarching story, and a shit load of moping. I can just see the episode recaps: "The random middle aged blonde lady whose name nobody can remember is killed. But hey! It's better than your standard crybaby-behind-bars episode, so please don't cancel your HBO subscription." And World War Z is clearly written by a fan of the genre, but it also seems like masturbatory fan fiction written by an over-serious sci-fi nerd. One with an unquenchable thirst for coining dippy military/political terminology and little feel for narrative or realistic dialogue. We'd all be better off if they just hired talented writers to pen original scripts.
28 Weeks Later was great by the_scream	Oct 8th, 2008 02:03:06 AM
Non-stop action that never lets up. But it was clever action unlike say... the recent Rambo film. Much like Cameron's Aliens, you never knew who was going to buy it along the way and the game kept shifting every five minutes. Oh, and it didn't overstay its welcome like a lot of horror films. Short, sharp and fun. Period.
Just read this at Bloody Disgusting by deanbarry	Oct 8th, 2008 02:25:55 AM
Copy and paste are GO!!! "Last week Arrow in the Head reported that Paul Andrew Williams, director of Sony Home Entertainment's THE COTTAGE, would be taking the helm for 28 Months Later, the third film in the 28 DAY LATER franchise created by Danny Boyle. This morning the story was shot down by Twitch Film who reports that "any rumor of Paul Andrew Williams’ involvement in 28 Months Later is 'totally untrue'. " We'll keep you posted if anything new comes in."

I'm not the only one hoping this does okay by shitstorm23	Oct 8th, 2008 10:46:09 AM

chill KurtLockwood by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 8th, 2008 10:48:54 AM
actually Bruce Lee was probably smaller than Cillian Murphy...i think Bruce only weighed like what...140lbs er so??? anyway, thats a BAD comparison considering Bruce Lee studied Kung Fu and all that shit since what...BIRTH and created his styleless style Jeet Kune Do...something im sure that bike messenger in 28 Days Later failed to achieve. im sorry, seeing Cillian Murphy single handedly kill trained soldiers is B.S. i don't care HOW much he wanted to survive, throw you in a cage with a trained soldier in a live or die situation and i assure you, youre dead...because what do soldiers train to do???...kill...duh, and they know how to i assure you. letting that soldier-zombie go to run amok....hmmm, good idea until you accidentily run into him in the house (which luckily he didn't but what if that soldier-zombie had found the little girl he was SO trying to save???). either way, the third act may seem more "exciting" than the rest but does that make it GOOD???....no. given the first 2/3s of the film in comparison to the last...yeah, it looks like an amateur action director took control, hence the PWA reference.
28 Weeks Later broke the Cardinal Rule of horror movies by JackRabbitSlim	Oct 8th, 2008 01:00:49 PM
You set rules with your initial film. Breaking them does not equate to daring and thought-provoking but to stank-stenched shittiness. Utterly despised how Robert Carlyle rage victim becomes unlike any other rage victim - he seemed possessed with an agenda other than gory killing. And his ability to use technology (the pass to open doors). And his sudden uncanny ability to track down his children - must be that rage disease must have the added bonus of developing internal homing beacons! Oh and this film also promulgated the rank Hollywood stupidity of "Oh look - a ball of fire is coming down the corridor - if I just duck into this doorway it will pass me by unscathed!!!" And the half-assed, ham-fisted "Oh - look I'm saying something about Iraq" wasn't already seems hideously dated. And the CGI of the flames billowing through the streets looked like ... cheaply rendered flames billowing through the streets. I parrot what was said earlier - If Danny Boyle isn't directing this - fuck it. Have to conceded though the opening sequence was rather effective though.
I'm in the minority, I suppose, but by Drunken Rage	Oct 8th, 2008 06:04:26 PM
I thought the ends of both movies were stupid cop-outs. However, both were vastly superior to the shitfest that was "Land of the Dead." Holy fucking Christ, that was a terrible movie.
Days is great, Weeks is only ok by The Amazing G	Oct 8th, 2008 06:35:45 PM
28 Days Later is one of my favorite movies, it really got me into the whole zombie genre, but I recently rewatched Weeks and actually liked it better than I did when I saw it in theaters, but it's still just not as good as the first, however I still support a third one

that if you were gonna make a bigger budgeted "28 movie" a prequel would be best
Danny Boyle needs to learn by Kaitain	Oct 8th, 2008 10:11:06 PM
...how to end his movies. Has any one of them had a good final reel? 28DL's was crap, as usual. I thought that the first half of Sunshine was amazing. The second half started going very wobbly, and the final reel was bloody appalling.
Oh, and... by Kaitain	Oct 8th, 2008 10:14:54 PM
...Boyle is a total rip-off merchant. 28DL has an opening half hour that is lifted straight from Day of the Triffids, while Sunshine rips of sequences from 2010 and even the awful Event Horizon pretty egregiously. The bit in Sunshine that made no fucking sense whatsoever is when they just stop off next to the first ship to pop on board. Ummm, I'm sorry, where did they get the fuel to do that, i.e. to bring their ship to a complete stop then get up and running again? Did they just have a spare extra 200% of fuel above that needed to get to the sun on schedule?
28DL final reel by Kaitain	Oct 8th, 2008 10:28:45 PM
"Listen, I like explosions and shit as much as the next movie fan but 28 Days pretty much nosedives as a film as soon as they reach the compound." Clearly I agree (see above), but...question for you. Can you think of any post-apocalyptic survival movie that doesn't have a cack final reel? The problem for me is that they always seem to feel the need to open things out from an intimate group (one guy, or two, or a small group) to a wider group or a community, and the sense of gripping, claustrophobic intimacy with the characters is broken. It's almost like being down the pub with one or two friends then having ten other people turn up after a couple of hours, disrupting the dynamics of the situation and feeling like intruders into your cozy clique. 28DL does this, as does Day of the Triffids, as does I Am Legend.

Post Apocalyptic movie ending not suck = Road Warrior by JackRabbitSlim	Oct 9th, 2008 03:35:22 AM
Butchered english to get it in there but undoubtedly one of the seminal climaxes ever - in action moobies at least.

Cillian Murphys character a black ops super agent???...somehow, i think he would have mentioned that at some point given he'd have no reason to hide it after the world has gone to shit, but i get it...your kidding...right? anyway, the whole "exciting" thing...i said "seems" exciting, as in you'd think this would be entertaining but when compared the last two thirds, it just dosen't FIT...thats what i was referring to. anyway, i never said i didn't like 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later...im just saying the films have a drop-off-in-interest point for me, mainly with 28 Days Later and its (IMO) lame last bit...but hey, at least its only the last bit that sucks right???...better than the WHOLE movie licking those balls you were referring to.
Bike Messenger VS. Marine by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 9th, 2008 09:16:17 AM
my money is on the marine...EVERY time haha
and Kurt by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 9th, 2008 09:18:57 AM
don't worry about feeling weird talking to someone with a name like mine...have you seen some of the other names around here??? what should i use...something edgier...like...Henry???
okay okay by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 9th, 2008 10:19:43 AM
one more little thing, Danny Boyle has a knack for weird "last act"s...Sunshine is a perfect example, excellent movie up until the end when Mr. Crispy shows up and starts killing and terrorizing the crew in WTF!!!-fashion....but alas, i own BOTH films..28 Days Later and Sunshine, because i like them...i just have an issue or two with them. its okay though, movies are like people...none are PERFECT...at least in my opinion.
honestly Kurt by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 9th, 2008 01:18:39 PM
i just find it amusing that people around here find my name "juvenile" and "immature" which it IS just that (among the many other names of the same caliber) yet still find the time and effort to spell the ENTIRE thing out. thank you, you are a gentlemen and a scholar.
i hear ya by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Oct 9th, 2008 01:20:53 PM
i understand characters have these unknown backstories in films that we never see or even hear about but given the material at hand and what we DO know...alot of it you have to base on that little thing called LOGIC.
28 Days of Atonement vs. Predator with a Vengeance... by duanejones	Oct 9th, 2008 02:49:05 PM
the extremely mistaken mr. cloverfield has it ass-backwards on the _dawn_/romero/28 whateves dynamic. the _dawn_ remake is pathetically overrated, while the two _28_ films are everything romero's post-_dawn_ zombie flix SHOULD have been, but oh, so very much weren't. if the director info is mistaken here, can we all suggest our first choices? i personally vote for larry fesseden or takashi miike (could you imagine??). actually, given that the last shot of _28 weeks_ was the eiffel tower, maybe i should pick claire denis (_trouble every day_ is sorta like an indie nihilist sex-addict take on "i'm'a eat your ass" cinema)? whoever directed _district 13_? godard, maybe? now THAT'S something i'd pay top euro to see...
NOT ZOMBIES by GavinVanDraven	Oct 9th, 2008 02:50:15 PM
zombies are reanimated DEAD people. the infected are just that, infected. its like extreme rabies. zombies dont "die" of starvation. they die of a gunshot to the head or decapitation. the infected in 28 days/weeks later die of damn near anything that would kill a regular human being, because they are just that... human beings infected by a virus that makes them turn batshit insane and cannibal. enough of the zombie shit. they arent zombies.
oh and HARRY by GavinVanDraven	Oct 9th, 2008 02:51:35 PM
