WILL DANNY BOYLE DIRECT THE NEXT 28 DAYS SEQUEL

There’s been little movement on the 28 Days Later franchise front of late, but with Danny Boyle’s most recent film, 127 Hours, completed and nearing release, that could soon change.

From what Boyle has said in the past, we know that 28 Months Later isn’t the official title for the film, its planned setting is Russia (not France like one might’ve inferred from the ending of 28 Weeks Later), and Boyle feels strongly enough about the idea he’s come up with for the film that he has considered directing it.

TARSEM TO DIRECT THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE?

After commercial and music video director Tarsem exploded onto the Hollywood scene in 2000 with The Cell, he kind of disappeared for a while as he followed it up with The Fall, a passion project that took some 8 years to find its way out to the general public. A lot of people had nearly forgotten about him, but it appears that he is slowly getting back into the swing of things with his mythological fantasy film Immortals currently in post-production.

Now this week he’s on the verge of lining up another fantasy-themed project of sorts: Relativity Media’s new adaptation of The Brothers Grimm tale Snow White.

Although he’s got tons of projects on his plate already, word spread late Wednesday that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro had reportedly been offered the chance to get behind the camera for the return of Godzilla. But is that really the case?

According to Latino Review, Legendary Pictures approached the Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy director about helming a brand-new Godzilla movie, tentatively scheduled for release in summer 2012.

del Toro is already slated to begin shooting his dream project, At The Mountains of Madness, next year, so any chance for him to get a new Godzilla movie ready for 2012 seems far-fetched at best.

Boyle needs to direct the next 28 Days film! He did a great job. What do you think? Would someone else’s direction ruin the film?

Ever since The Cell was released I have been a fan of Tarsem. It was solidified with the release of his gorgeous film “The Fall”.  Anything by Tarsem is a must see in my book. What are your thoughts?

Guillermo, another favorite director who can do no wrong. Imagine a Godzilla flick directed by him, it would be amazing. Thoughts?
