Meeting various development folks around town have led me to some really interesting news. Apparently the ONLY horror film in the works right now over at Fox Atomic is their PG-13 remake of The Entity, which is being directed by Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata (The Ring Two, Ringu). What's even more disappointing is that Fox Atomic had planned on taking the 28 Days Later franchise up until 28 Years Later, which as of this moment, will never happen. Now if DVD sales are through the roof for 28 Weeks Later and horror regains some lost momentum, maybe we'll work our way towards seeing 28 Months Later. Go support your genre and help kick-start the flooded engine.
28 Weeks Later didn't do that bad in the box office considering what it was up against (Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3....)
Hopefully DVD sales will change their mind.
That sucks. I loved 28 Weeks Later and I was really hoping they would make another film (or two). I actually have this movie to thank for my newfound interest in the horror genre.
If 28 Months Later is going to be as bad as 28WL then don't bother. The director for 28WL is not welcome back as far as I am concerned. Nor is the person that wrote the DULL script for 28WL. Yes 28WL was so good that all we were waiting on was The Infected turning up due to a lack of interesting and dragging it's heels storyline.
I love the 28 days/weeks series! It is what got me interested in the more gory and horror genre of films! I want to see more...
