Despite Slumdog Millionaire collecting lots of gold recently and despite Danny Boyle receiving an Oscar for Best Director, he has no idea what he will do next. He has nothing in the pipeline.

From MTV:

…just what in the heck is the famed director going to do next? Don’t worry. Danny Boyle himself is wondering the exact same thing.

“I don’t know actually. I was involved in an animated film. I was going to make an animated film, but it’s all sort of fallen apart for me, so I don’t have anything. I tend to do one thing at a time,” Boyle told MTV News. “I wish I knew.”

There is a possibility he could end up directing 28 Months Later, however in my opinion he can do better than that. Boyle told MTV that he did have one project he wanted to work on, but it was unlikely it would get made.

“’Texas Killing Fields’ was a fantastic script, really special script, but it was just so dark it would never get made. You’d have to have half a dozen super megastars for a studio to even consider making it,” Boyle said “It’s by an ex-cop from Galveston and visually would have been extraordinary, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Whatever Boyle decides to do next, I will be looking forward to it hugely!

• 28 Months Later

We got the great 28 Days Later back in 2003, which was then followed by 28 Weeks Later in 2007. I didn’t get the chance to see it, but it looks like it made enough money as news has appeared online that we may have a director for 28 Months Later. From ArrowInTheHead:

The scoop I caught was that a director has been chosen for this second installment. Who? PAUL ANDREW WILLIAMS baby! The UK director of THE COTTAGE. So there you have it! The 28 MONTHS LATER wheels are in motion!

Last year Danny Boyle, director of the first film, said he would be interested in directing and hinted that the third film may take place in Russia. Now if this news is true then that could mean Boyle will be returning as an executive producer, rather than directing.

Either way, it appears zombies are still alive and well 2 years after the outbreak first began. Lets hope they get wiped out in this one because I don’t think many people will be up for a 28 Years Later.
