Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are reuniting for 28 Years Later, a sequel to their 2002 zombie horror film, 28 Days Later.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the duo is currently shopping the project to studios with a carrot that it could be the start of a trilogy. Update: The film has been acquired by Sony, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The current plan is for Boyle to direct 28 Years Later and for Garland to write all three films. Boyle and Garland will also produce the trilogy alongside Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice.
28 Days Later starred Cillian Murphy as a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious virus has turned people into zombies. The film received a sequel in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later, but neither Boyle nor Garland were involved in that project.
Murphy is reportedly returning as an executive producer on the sequel and could also have an acting role.
Boyle most recently helmed Pistol, the episodic series about the Sex Pistols. Garland wrote and directed the A24 thriller, Civil War, which is set to hit theaters in April.
