Danny Boyle On Board for 28 Months Later

While many still debate if 28 Days Later (or 28 Weeks Later) is a zombie film, few can deny its appeal to fans of the genre.  True, they are "infected" and not undead, but Days/Weeks are must-watch movies for any zombie fan.  Besides, Danny Boyle makes amazing films.  Sunshine?  Trainspotting?  The Beach?

Digital Spy reports that Boyle "would be keen to both write and direct" a sequel to 28 Days Later.  They are also quick to point out that 28 Days screenwriter, Alex Garland, was quoted in Worst Previews as saying a rights dispute may delay a new film.  But still... Danny Boyle wants a third part to the 28 Days franchise!

Win An Autographed Copy of 28 Days Later

Forbidden Planet is currently running a contest for an autographed copy of the 28 Days Later graphic novel. The book is signed by script writer Michael Alan Nelson and artist Declan Shalvey. The only downside, Forbidden Planet is a UK-based company and therefor the contest is only open to UK residents.

The graphic novel follows the story of Selena and connects the films "Days" and "Weeks".

The Government WILL Be The Cause Of The Zombie Apocalypse

Admit it, you have fantasized about the zombie apocalypse. Don’t be ashamed, I think everyone reading has their strategy planned and if you don’t… well, you’ll be one of the first to go. And for those of you who don’t think that it can (or will) happen, I have some sorry news. It looks like the government is looking for ways to “freeze” all bodily functions including heart beat and brain activity and then reanimate the corpse. The military’s Darpa team has given 9.9 million to the Texas A&M Institute to study ways to extend the time in which a dead or dying soldier can be brought back to life.

Of course, the uses only begin with the military. I don’t think this kind of “medicine” is a bad idea. I think it’s a great idea if we can develop a way to stop a soldier, and eventually, civilian from dying in order to get them treatment. I only bring this to your attention as further proof that a mistake could eventually be made. I mean, you have seen 28 Days Later, right?
