Outside of The Marvels and Candyman, DaCosta has directed Little Woods, a drama starring Lily James and Tessa Thompson, and is the middle of shooting a Hedda Gabler biopic with the latter.
The publication goes on to claim that Boyle’s installment is aiming to start filming later this year, with DaCosta’s shooting immediately after. That way, “the directors can get on the same page about where they see the story going while also bringing their own unique visions for each film.”
28 Weeks Later, which unsurprisingly details the state of the world almost seven months after the initial virus outbreak, was released in 2007 and centers on Robert Carlyle’s Don and his family. Early on, Don abandons his wife during a invasion from the infected, in order to save himself. Later, when he catches up to his children Tammy (Imogen Poots) and Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton), he’s forced to reconcile with his actions.
It seems pretty safe to assume 28 Years Later will introduce us to fictional folks trying to overcome struggles almost three decades into the apocalypse.
