28 Months Later

[Skippy911sc]

Just read this on AICN and thought I would post... Word around the Stiges International Film Festival (HERE) says that Paul Andrew Willams (THE COTTAGE, LONDON TO BRIGHTON) will be directing 28 MONTHS LATER, the second sequel to 28 DAYS LATER. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38652

Yeah the cottage scene is classic. Gee, an intense opening scene where there's chaos in a house that's basically the highlight of the movie, where'd they get that from?....cough...dawn...04' hack...wheeze..

there's about 1 degree of separation between me and this new director... they should've chosen Chris Smith who did Severance...he's very taented...

You had to know it was coming. And I for one look forward to it.

[clanglee]

Yeah, count me in for now.

Anyway, I was huge on 28 Weeks Later. In fact, I liked it better than the original due to the fact that I felt 28 Days started out great but then just completely and continuously lost momentum from about the 20 minute mark until pretty much the very end. Whereas 28 Weeks was pretty much rolling from start to finish.

You had to know it was coming. And I for one look forward to it. I knew they were going to make 28 months later,right after I saw 28 weeks later.The ending of 28 weeks was a dead give away they were going to make another sequel.

I am surprised that it's not the same people and that they didn't secure the rights to 28 Months the very day that 28 Weeks was released. My opinion of 28 Weeks is bipolar. I think it laid the groundwork to be the best infection movie of all time. I love the beginning and the buildup and the characters. I also think it blew it to such a degree as only a few movies could rival. From the point where the dad gets infected through the rest of the movie I'm just like "Oh, Please!!!!" It was just awful. Not one shred of decent film after that point. Ironically, I think about the same way for 28 Days. The beginning was okay and the progression was fine. I thought it had pacing problems and a few minor annoyances in the Infected rules, but overall not bad. Then they come upon the military base that has gone bananas and it just implodes. Total crapola from that point through to the end. My biggest fear with 28 Months is that it's going to be action start to finish. Thus it won't have the good buildup of the previous 2 movies. It'll go straight to the God-awful parts. But I'm hopeful...

Well they tried the same formula with the first two and for some reason ( other than the ones you stated) the quality of the films fell off a little while into it. Let's see what happens if they approach it from that angle.
