If there's one thing about movies I cannot stand, its a good idea used and abused to the end of its tether. (Certainly not the only thing I dislike about movies)
It looks as though the potential for this "butter scraped over too much bread" syndrome is creeping eerily onto the big screen again. But there's still time to save it! And I remain ever hopefull!
28 Weeks Later, is the sequel to the revered 28 Days Later, in which we saw the entire of the british isles anihilated by the Rage virus. This time around however, its 28 weeks since the Rage virus pandemic was quashed. The US Army declares that the war against the virus has been won, and that the country is safe to rebuild, having destroyed the virus that turned people into flesh eating zombie-like creatures. As refugees pile back into civilised society, a family is reunited. But reunited with a secret... Can you guess what it is?
Thought so...
Anyway, someone is still unwittingly carrying the virus, only this time its even more aggressive than before! You can read a full script review HERE courtesy of Latino Review, and we can expect it to splash in bloody fashion onto the big screen in May 2007.

Not normally one for brit flicks but if this is anything like the first then it should be pretty damn good.
S'funny how I did a bit about Brendan Gleesons latest movie here - http://thecinematique.blogspot.com/2006/09/tigers-tail.html immediately before I wrote a thing on the sequel to a film he starred in here - http://thecinematique.blogspot.com/2006/09/28-weeks-later.html
Entirely accidental :)
