Danny Boyle Shares Disappointing Update on ‘28 Years Later 3’: “It’s on the Back Burner”
Danny Boyle said financing remains unsettled after the sequel's disappointing box office, and he hopes the trilogy's conclusion will move forward once funds are secured.
- Director Danny Boyle confirmed at the London Film Festival on Friday that '28 Years Later 3' is on the 'back burner,' with the project awaiting necessary financing before production can proceed.
- Disappointing box office numbers for '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' created financing challenges, as audiences did not seek out the 2026 release despite critical praise and excellent word of mouth.
- Collaborator Alex Garland remains tied up with his large-scale 'Elden Ring' adaptation at A24, which does not hit theaters until March 3, 2028, keeping him occupied with post-production through 2027.
- Boyle's immediate priority is an Antarctica-set film written by Trainspotting writer John Hodge, though he acknowledged raising a budget remains challenging despite remaining hopeful about the trilogy.
- While no production schedule exists, the third installment will feature Cillian Murphy returning as Jim, and the project does not rely solely on a studio green light to move forward.
