An impressive cast, and with Danny Boyle returning…..


Nuff said, I’m in and this can’t come soon enough!

Yes I suppose it's a promising sign if Boyle is returning because I think he said he wouldn't return unless the script was strong enough.

I still don't know what they can bring that will be new to the table? Zombie films have a habit of retreading the same ground because the genre is pretty limited by its story - survival from an apocalyptic pandemic that turns people into the living dead. Presumably there will be a zombie outbreak in this and you wonder how after 28 years down the line this can happen once again.

imo 28 weeks is an excellent film and I’m not sure if Boyle had anything to do with that one.
As to bringing something new to the table, I don’t feel that Boyle has to bring a fresh spin to the genre, he resurrected the zombie genre from the dead ; ) with 28 Days, and has more than earned the right to do what he wants with the story from here on out.

I still can't believe they are finally making this! I've waited years for this to be made.
