DIRECTOR INTERVIEW
Reality Bites
Danny Boyle returns to horror with 28 Years Later – and there’s a sequel already in the can
WORDS: ADAM TANSWELL
DANNY BOYLE HAS A TWINKLE in his eye. “Age is no indication of maturity,” the 68-year-old director says, rather mischievously. The Academy Award winner is standing on stage to speak about his new movie, 28 Years Later, and the audience is lapping it up.
The post-apocalyptic project is a follow-up to the acclaimed British horror 28 Days Later and its 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later – and Boyle is in the perfect mood to describe what film fans can expect from the “infectious” third movie. “I still love an apocalypse, British style,” he says with a smile. “I love killing the Infected, or zombies, if you like. And I still love blowing shit up. You know, that’s how my agent describes my best stuff.”
