Someone's Seen the First 28 Minutes of "28 Weeks"
Ugh, this is one of those stories I can only read/report with just one eye. I mean, one of the Dread Central guys saw the first half-hour of "28 Weeks Later," and he wants to tell us about it! Nothing personal, but no thanks!
Here's a snip: "So what’s the verdict? Well, all notions of this being some contrived studio cash-in were dashed within the opening minutes. Boyle and Garland are obviously going to great lengths to make sure this film is a mature follow-up rather than collect their "executive producer" paychecks, and it looks like they’ve found a great successor in director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo."
OK, that's all I need to hear.
Later on in the article it looks like we get some plot descriptions, but even as a guy who was on the set of this movie, I don't want to read anything that might ruin my enjoyment of discovering the flick on my own. I'm weird that way. Especially where horror/sci-fi movies are concerned. And especially when they're sequels to movies I really love.
But don't let me stop you!

on Mar 23 2007 08:33 AM I really should check out 28 Days Later, or whatever the original is called. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 23 2007 11:47 AM 28 Days Later was movie that was well below average in my eyes. After the first half-hour, there are VERY FEW scares, and the plot just goes in a weird, and sometimes just stupid, direction. I may rent 28 Weeks Later though. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 23 2007 11:55 AM I loved 28 Days Later, so I'm very happy that the first person to see the new one thought that it wasn't a studio cash in movie but very good. I can hardly wait. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 23 2007 12:57 PM In reply to this comment (#859132) Like it or not, 28DL brought fresh life back into the dead (no pun intended) genre of zombie movies. It renewed interest and presented a zombie world in a new, fresh way. It was thought provoking and intelligent. Not your average horror movie, and it hardly needed a jolt every 5 minutes to make up for a lacking plot. It had a great story, was well executed, and well acted. All for a minimal budget. Is it perfect, no way. But definitely above average. I am curious to see what's next in the world of 28 Days... (Reply to this) |

on Mar 23 2007 07:29 PM 28 Days Later was an excellent, artistic and intense film. The acting was superb, the score terrifying and the pacing perfect. The only things I could have asked for differently would be more gore and not quite as dark a print (in photographic terms of course is what I mean). But, judging from the preview, this looks like it's got more gore (the exploding head anyone?) and it's got yet another first rate actor (Carlye). (Reply to this) |
