When asked byDeadlineif Murphy will be back for the new film, Rothman replied, “Yes, but in a surprising way and in a way that grows, let me put it that way.”
The flagship film starred Murphy as a bike courier who wakes up from a coma only to find that a virus has all but destroyed society. 28 Days Later grossed $82 million against its $8 million budget, and put Murphy on the path to becoming a household name. 28 Weeks Later, a standalone sequel directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, hit theaters in 2007.
