I rather liked Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. I liked it a lot in fact. So much that I have paid little mind to any news on the sequel 28 Weeks Later. Is it perhaps because this can be perceived as a cash grab? Can anyone ever really top what Boyle and Garland accomplished in their film? Will a sequel aim for the same cinematic themes or are we just going to go balls out and just make a very violent movie about killing 'zombies'? Sorry for the pessimism but of all the genres out there the horror genre is the guiltiest of the cash grab.
Does word of the screening of the first 28 minutes of the sequel change any of that? Meh from horror-movies.ca got to see the first 28 minutes and despite his own skepticism and doubts experienced a revelation and in a sense has been converted. He doesn't give enough details - how could you after only 28 minutes - but what he saw does seem to stick with the feel of the original. I make no judgments. I make no final decisions. But perhaps we're going to experience a rarity in a budding franchise. Consistency. Only time will tell.

Thanks to Rodney for the tip.
I'm excited to see this. Does anyone know if the film is shot on film or video like the first one?
"Only time will time."?
Gosh. Could have really benefited with a proof reader tonight. Lesson to learn from all this? Never write when you're tired...
Or write it in Word and use spellcheck.
Dude. Totally did. What? It's going to tell me that I can't use time twice in a sentence? It didn't. It failed me. Stupid WORD.
Shouldn't you be sleeping or something? How many hours ahead are you? Go to sleep and stop pestering me. AAAAAAAUGH.
"Only time will time." I thought perhaps you were trying to be profound. Personally, I thought the first "28" stood well on it's own and didn't need a sequel, but...
