One of the most popular zombie movies in recent memory was Fox Searchlight's imaginative 28 Days Later, which was box office gold a few years back thanks to Danny Boyle and co. The sequel, 28 Weeks Later, has been planned for years and has finally got the good ol' green light over at the new Fox Atomic. Today the first official casting news was announced for the film, which is already aiming at an May 11, 2007 release.
Jeremy Renner has been cast in a lead role in "28 Weeks Later," the Fox Atomic sequel to the zombie thriller "28 Days Later," according to Variety.
Story picks up six months after the end of the first pic, in which a virus spreads, leaving few survivors. Special Forces is working to restore order and helping repopulate London when a carrier of the virus unknowingly ignites a reinfection. Renner will play Sgt. Doyle, one of the heroes of the sequel.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is directing from a script by Rowan Joffe. Andrew MacDonald, Andrew Garland and Danny Boyle produce. Boyle directed the first installment.
Renner, who starred in the indie drama "Dahmer," has most recently been seen in "North Country" and "Lords of Dogtown."
