Get ready to be frustrated! The highly anticipated third chapter of the '28 Years Later' trilogy is now in a state of uncertainty, leaving fans in a state of limbo. According to a report from World of Reel, Sony seems to be dragging its feet on the project, despite announcing it last December. The outlet claims that Sony is not in a rush to make the trilogy capper happen, and Netflix has even shown interest in acquiring the sequel. However, director Danny Boyle is adamant about a theatrical release for this final chapter, which is supposed to star Cillian Murphy.
The news comes as a surprise, considering Sony had previously announced that they were moving ahead with Chapter 3 prior to the theatrical release of '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' in January. While the film received positive reviews, it performed terribly at the box office, grossing only $25M domestically on a reported budget of $63M. This has led to speculation about why the audience disinterest might have occurred, with some attributing it to fans being turned off by the franchise.
The uncertainty surrounding the third film is warranted, as the story of Spike (Alfie Williams) left on a cliffhanger. It would be devastating to leave the trilogy unfinished. If you're one of those who missed 'The Bone Temple' in theaters, you can watch it now through VOD. And if you haven't seen it yet, you can read our review of the tremendous sequel here. But here's where it gets controversial... What do you think? Will the trilogy get a chance to continue the story of Spike? Or will it remain unfinished? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
