Just over two decades after unleashing a zombie epidemic, modern horror classic 28 Days Later is getting a new sequel. Maybe even a trilogy of sequels.
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the director and writer of the 2002 movie, are reuniting for 28 Years Later, a new zombie thriller that is expected to hit studios, streamers and other potential buyers later this week, according to multiple sources. WME, which reps Boyle and Garland, will take out the package and handle the sale.
The package isn’t just a simple modern sequel installment; the movie already had a follow-up with 28 Weeks Later, released in 2007. The duo were only involved with as executive producers on that film. Now, the hope is to launch a new trilogy.
Boyle is attached to direct the first installment. Garland would write all three. The budget for each movie would be in the $75 million range.
Release in June 2025.

Well, they're not technically zombies, it's living humans infected with the rage virus. As we all know, viruses mutate and change over time. I guess it could turn into Rage 2.0 or something.

I know it's Columbia Pictures financed, but made by the British personnel with British Film Institute, so I want it to be

as British is kinda more infernally profound than American.
28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Nia DaCosta, from a screenplay by Alex Garland and Danny Boyle. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with BFI, DNA Films and Decibel Films, it will serve as the direct sequel to 28 Years Later (2025) and the fourth installment in the 28 Days Later film series.
I’d never heard of the ‘Boots’ poem before the first teaser but it’s used to great effect in the movie and marketing and pretty disturbing and quite fascinating after reading up on it.
Service members who have gone through Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape training, or SERE may get flashbacks from the trailer for the upcoming zombie horror film by Danny Boyle, “28 Years Later,” which features a 1915 reading of the Rudyard Kipling poem “Boots.”
In the past, troops who went through SERE were forced to repeatedly listen to a reading of the 1903 poem, which is written to mimic the cadence of British troops marching: “Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin’ up and down again!”
SERE trains service members on how to avoid capture and what to do in the event they are taken prisoner. Much of the course focuses on how to resist interrogation and keep a level head during capture. There are some physical elements, but the school emphasizes psychological misery. Playing “Boots” ad nauseam is meant to test a service member’s fortitude.
