Plans not only include "28 Years Later" but also tease the potential expansion into a new trilogy. Plot details remain under wraps, but with a rumored budget of $75 million per film, expectations are high for a larger and more intense cinematic experience. Both Boyle and Garland are set to produce, alongside Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice. The project is expected to garner significant attention as it seeks studio or streaming partners.

What can fans expect from the new "28 Years Later" movie in terms of scale and story?

While specific plot details have not been disclosed, the involvement of the original team and the increased budget suggest that "28 Years Later" will offer a broader and more intense story than its predecessors. Fans can anticipate a cinematic experience that honors the gritty and heart-pounding atmosphere of the original film but on a grander scale, reflective of the increased production budget.

The original "28 Days Later," released in 2002, was a groundbreaking film that redefined the zombie genre with its fast-moving infected and its focus on survival horror.

The sequel, "28 Weeks Later" (2007), expanded the narrative to include a wider outbreak and military involvement. With Danny Boyle and Alex Garland returning for "28 Years Later," there is a tangible excitement for this influential horror franchise to once again push the boundaries of the genre.
