what 28 Months Later might be like



28 Days Later was a modestly alright film the less you look into it, however its sequel 28 Weeks Later made in 2007 seemed to try and follow I Am Legend in ruining these types of movies.

However I have to say I'm excited about the remote prospect of there being a 28 Months Later, Danny Bole (director of the first one) has stated it's definitely a thing he wants to do and states he has ideas to set it in Russia.

Assuming this is continuing on from the outbreak we saw at the end of the second one (not directed or written by Boyle) in Paris I assume it's going to carry on from that and be set in Russian 28 months (over two years) after the initial infection that hit England at the very start of 28 Days Later (I know confusing isn't it.

Even though I have serious qualms about the RAGE virus I have thought through how exactly the story could be set in Russia with there being a threat to a certain amount of people.

Although the RAGE virus in the first movie virtually infected every man woman and child in Great Britain the infected did starve to death just a month afterwords (meaning at least a week since they killed everyone else) meaning that in this third movie that very small outbreak in Paris would have to spread infect everyone in Europe and then spread with a plausible threat to people in Russia.

And they have to stay alive.

Although a small outbreak of infected chimps of animal right activists resulted in the outbreak that wiped out all of England in 28 Days Later is it plausible to assume the same will happen to all of Europe and some part of Russia over a space of two years in the third one?

However it's not for me to start bitching about inaccuracies in a movie or how stupid the plot in a movie is before it even goes into production, but hopefully a reasonable explanation will be given if Boyle follows where 28 Weeks Later left off and opts to start on Russia.

As in more reasonable than the obvious one I've just written about.
