Huh. I hadn't heard a thing about that either, Theo. And, obviously, Danny Boyle was busy with Sunshine, so I doubt he had much to do with it.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is responsible.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Boyle produced. How hands-on he was, I don't know. Producers range all the way from "It was my idea originally, so I get my name in the credits" to "I put up a big chunk of the money, so I get my name in the credits," to "almost like a second director."
I think Boyle probably ended up closer to the "almost like a second director" end of the spectrum, depending on how much of his time was being eaten up by Sunshine.

I can hope that it's an Aliens/Alien quality sequel, anyway. Until I learn otherwise. Certainly not the way to bet, but hey, it can happen.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Rose Byrne's in both Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later so everyone's a winner.

Have you seen the trailer yet, Theo? Bone chilling. I can't wait. In some ways it looks to be much scarier because its basic premise is to hold out hope that everything's going to be okay, and then snatch it away.

Serial:
It's the Muse song used at the end that just breaks me every time I watch the trailer.

Hat trick:
In addition to Rose Byrne and Robert Carlyle, the film also stars Idris Elba and Harrold Perrineau.

That's a cast that would make me perk up my ears even if I hadn't heard anything about the movie they're in. :: superstitiously crosses fingers ::

And in looking around just now, I read a few things that indicate Danny Boyle even directed some second unit stuff on 28 weeks later, so he very literally was a second director on the movie.
Also, he's listed as an executive producer, which means he absolutely had story approval on the film, so even though he didn't direct, it's still effectively a Danny Boyle movie. I imagine he would have directed it himself if he hadn't been doing Sunshine.

The evil is this way?
I saw "Slow Burn" yesterday with my sister. Oh my. It was ... "bad" is not even the word for it. There were 10 people in the theater at the start of the movie and 4 left mid-way through. The rest of us stayed. We were the crazy ones. The ones who thought that somehow, someway, this would make sense. Silly us.
