Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes are looking to take a bite out of 28 Years Later, with the actors joining the long-awaited sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Danny Boyle is once again directing, after helming 2002’s 28 Days Later, which centered on a man (Cillian Murphy) who wakes up from a coma to find the United Kingdom overtaken by a zombie plague. Civil War filmmaker Alex Garland, who penned the script, is back to write what is intended to be a trilogy of films for Sony. The feature already had a sequel, 28 Weeks Later, which only nominally involved Boyle and Garland as executive producers.
Boyle and Garland will produce with Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice and Bernie Bellew. Original star Murphy is executive producer.
Comer is repped by Independent Talent Group, WME and Johnson Shapiro. Fiennes is repped by 42 and CAA. Taylor Johnson is repped by WME, Brillstein and David Weber.
More to come.
