EXCLUSIVE: The new 28 Years Later trilogy from director Danny Boyle and Sony Pictures is gaining momentum, and some serious star power. Sources tell Deadline that Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes have boarded the first pic, a sequel to the original 28 Days Later.

…

Deadline recently broke the news that the studio has already tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to helm the second part of the trilogy, and that the plan is to shoot both films back to back. As for the three newest cast members, the studio is clearly showing it means business, adding star power instead of going the lesser-known-actor route like in previous installments

    28 Weeks Later was a thing?

    Definitely a thing.

    Uhh, is 28 Years Later going to be a trilogy?

    Yep, that’s the plan - the last part of a trilogy of films is, itself, a trilogy of films. Alex Garland is writing them all and Danny Boyle is back to direct the first one, Cillian Murphy isn’t currently listed as having an acting role but he is an executive producer so it seems pretty obvious that he’ll be in front of the camera at some point.

    It does seem ambitious but Garland knows what he is doing and the studios wouldn’t have signed off on the project and handed over a chunk of change without seeing a solid overview of the story arc. So I am optimistic that this is going to work.
