The glaring error here is that “28 Weeks Later” from 2007 is ignored as it was the first sequel. Therefore the upcoming third movie wouldn’t be “the start of a trilogy” but the end of it. Of course “28 Weeks Later” is mentioned but otherwise the article words the sequel talk in a clumsy manner.
“28 Days Later” is one of my favourite films of all time. Not because of the zombies, which are not really my thing, but because it was brilliantly and intelligently written. In many ways it wasn’t really about the zombies at all - they were just props for telling a very human story. I wasn’t convinced of a need for a sequel when “28 Weeks Later” was released, and I still feel that way now.
That said, since “28 Years Later” is coming from the team that created the original (whereas “28 Weeks Later” was written and directed by different people), I’m willing to keep an open mind.
