* M. Night Shyamalan is all gung ho about doing an Unbreakable sequel, which was the original plan before audience reaction proved lukewarm compared to The Sixth Sense. Of course we’ve now seen that some lukewarm audience reactions to post-Sixth Sense Shyamalan films are more lukewarm than others, so Unbreakable 2 is suddenly a lot more feasible, especially given the ever-increasing mania for superheroes and what you have to imagine will be an increased willingness on the part of post-Hancock Hollywood to try superheroes without comic-book bonafides.
* Remember yesterday when I said there’s maybe going to be a sequel to 28 Days/Weeks Later that was maybe gonna be called 28 Months Later and maybe directed by Paul Andrew Wiliams? Well now that last part has maybe been debunked, but we can add “it’s maybe set in Russia” to the maybe-facts we know about the movie, maybe. (Via Bloody Disgusting.)
* The concluding volume of Brian Ralph’s first-person zombie thriller Daybreak came out at SPX: you can see the final installment online here and read the “script” for the last 20 pages here.
* Here’s that SPX 2008 report I did again.
* Dave Kiersh rules.
* So does Paul Pope.
I wonder what they’ll do once they run out of days, weeks and months. Will we eventually see 28 Years Later? Or will they go to a new number? lol
You know, I’d be totally interested in a 28 YEARS Later, because given the time frame established for the infection, that would take place in a post-Infected world. While I’m sure the filmmakers wouldn’t be able to resist throwing in a new outbreak somehow, I’d be completely fascinated with a film set in a world where a “zombie” apocalypse took place…and then ended, leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces.
28 Years Later sounds like a pretty boss concept to me too. The last movie was more interesting when there wasn’t an outbreak going on, frankly.
Is Ralph planning to collect Daybreak in a single volume?
