    I read this earlier this morning. Man, I knew it was too good to be true. Leave it to Hollywood to F perfectly good things up...

    I guess we can look forward to a PG13(and probably crappy) "28 Weeks Later"

    Wow... They're now trying to dumb things down?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Ah geez...

    It's like when they said they were going to do Dog Soldiers 2 - with all Americans, who apparently were also in the woods (i.e. bollocks cash in)...fortunately it seems to have sunk into development hell to (never?) come back. It'd be great if 28WL did the same, because it's definately going to be a heap of poo.

    PG13 'horror' sucks big time beanbag. Hollywood needs to get a freakin' grip already.

    I can't remember, was that a US Jet that flew by at the end of 28 Days Later? That'd explain the US angle. Is Boyle going to be steering this ship? If so, I think he'll keep a decent hold on the reigns.

    It's a British plane, though some sites say it's a Finnish plane.

    Boyle isn't involved, neither is Alex Garland as far as I know - i.e. TOTAL CASH IN BEANBAG FEST.

    god damn, now i dont care if i offend any americans here, hollywood sucks, its suck hot steamy donkey balls, in the last 5 years all they can come up with are A: ****ty remakes that no-one likes compared to the origionals, and B: lame ass romantic comedys for washed up actors like jennifer anaston.

    this is why i prefer asian cinema to hollywood, thats a prime example right there in that link, there even trying to remake oldby for chris sakes, face it hollywoods finally comeing to the end of its life span, thanks to the internet and modern convinience, its easy to see films from anywere not just the ones deemed fit by the film boards for the cinema so there losing cash fast, thats why posters now say "it earned 40- million" what they dont tell you is that it cost 100 million to make, foreighn films form the u.k asia and bollywood cost a fraction of the price to amek and have talent working on them ,so whos gonna see another lame ass comedy with actors who have been playing the same roles in different storys for the past ten years.


    case in point basic instinct 2.


    hollywood sucks balls.period. if i make it as a film director theres no way in hell id work for those kinda guys.

    Plus, I understand the concept of the British Isles being recolonized, but what boogeyman are going to be in the forefront. The end of the first film pretty much showed that the British major was right in that the infecteds will starve themselves to death in time.

    Hollywood is effin ridiculous!

    The only thing we can do is ignore the stupid stuff and hope someone out thier isint making more (like I said hope).

    This news is very disheartning at best, even more so after having seen Day of the Dead 2. Blah....I so want to make a film, but I dont know the first thing. I promise that if it is not good, ill destroy it!
    Look behind you!!!
