I searched as best as I could and could not find if this had been mentioned before, so please forgive me if I missed one, but I found this interesting article at rottentomatoes, I hope it's not just old news.


Danny Boyle Talks about "Sunshine" and "28 Weeks Later"

Posted by Scott Weinberg on Wednesday, May. 25, 2005, 02:34 PM


Scott Weinberg writes: "Where else would you expect to find your dose of Danny Boyle news other than FilmFocus' Joe Utichi got to share a brief chat with the celebrated director of "Trainspotting," "28 Days Later," and "Millions," and Mr. Boyle shared just a bit of news regarding a pair of his upcoming projects.

Regarding his seriously slick-sounding sci-fi flick "Sunshine," the filmmaker said, "We've done about a year's work on the script and we've just recently got the go-ahead on the film ... So we're just in the process of making some offers to some actors ... We're going to start shooting on August 1st, hopefully ... we have to get it shot by Christmas so then we can edit it in the new year and hopefully it'll be released in the autumn of next year."

And what of the sequel to the fan-fave non-zombie flick "28 Days Later"? "We're hoping to get this Spanish director, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, to direct it ... it's a lovely idea, and a very simple idea that the country has been left moribund, just for the virus to die out. It's been quarantined. And then the Americans arrive to reboot the island and get everything going again. But of course not everything goes as planned, as you'd expect."

Never heard of this before, I just hope it doesnt suck, I loved 28 Days Later so I will definately watch out for this.

i didn't care for the first one. I liked how, I know it's not a zombie movie, but fast running zombie-esque creatures. that, to me, was the only redeeming thing about it. I didn't find it scary, then again I don't find zombies very scary... oh well.

[JohnnyBgood]

I guess they're not keeping it British.

Oh well, a different director might give it an different flow.

Notice how when the Americans show up everything seems to always fall apart?

[hammerhedd11]

This doesn't need a sequel.

[Faithless Eye]

Agreed. No sequel required. And besides, Boyle's direction was the best thing about it (shot on a Canon XL1 too!). Though, Cillian Murphy's performance really made me look forward to the new Batman a lot more.

The movie was fantastic in the first half but once the army people came into play it was terrible. And the ending was weak too. Had potential but didn't know how to finish it off. Also, how was this even scary?

[runningtongue]

it was on imdb for awhile, i think, but they took it down.

for those of you who dont know, imdb is the internet movie database.

but yeah they also had EVIL DEAD 4 on there for awhile and removed it, because its not going down like they thought.

they may have put it back up, but i doubt it.
