Interesting trailer. Surprising how quickly development for this film has escalated. I didn't even know they were making one until less than a year ago.

Having said that they wouldn't make one again unless they came up with something they thought would work, it's obviously a good sign that Boyle and Garland have returned. These are guys that won't just sign on to make any sequel, like a Ridley Scott would. They have higher standards than that.

An interesting trailer indeed.

Apparently filmed using the latest iPhones and some additional equipment

And from the trailer the remaining civilization seemingly having gone backwards in time rather than forwards

I think this is supposed to be a 'Part 1' with another coming out in a few years.

Looks like they've taken an interesting direction with this

Yeah I hope they've gone a slightly different and interesting direction with it, if that's possible, cause zombie film plots have always been rather limited to 'group of survivors out on their own against threat of zombies until infection or other bad group of survivors ruin it all and they get overrun by zombies'. That was pretty much rinsed and repeated throughout the whole of The Walking Dead.

Not expecting much. Boyle is a pretty poor director, apart from Trainspotting (which is nearly 30 years old) his films are poor. While Garland is very hit and miss, Ex-Macina (directing) and Dredd (writing) being his stand outs.

I watched 28 Weeks later a year ago as I hadn't seen it in years, felt like a low budget ITV drama. Surprised it's liked as much as it is, but then I feel that way about all of Boyle's stuff that seem to have a fan base.

Couldn't disagree with this more. Boyle is an outstanding director. He also knows how to soundtrack a film.

Trance and Sunshine are in my top films of all time. I also thought TS2 was better than the first as well.

Nah I got respect for Boyle. That Pandemonium sequence for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony was phenomenal

Did you not like Slumdog, 127 Hours or Shallow Grave? He’s made some crackers, IMO.

Was the sequel actually 28 weeks later?

posted 1 week, 1 day ago

For me the horror film that gave me the most nightmares as a teenager (first watched this in 2003 as a 13 yo)



Really? Didn’t think it was scary. Good movie though.

Even the Guardian is giving Kudos to this trailer

Rosso

Shallow Grave is ok, dated pretty badly. The rest of his films I can’t stand.

Of course it’s all subjective but not a fan.

I really hated Slumdog.

It’s an awful film. Talking of sh-t Boyle films, I switched on the TV last night and saw Yesterday was on, possibly one of the worst films ever made.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've made a concerted effort to avoid watching Yesterday.

Slumdog were both a general subjective dislike for mawkish fairy tale type films (also fuัking hate Amélie, for instance) and a strong distaste for the way the severe deprivation of Indian slums is used purely as a backdrop for a fantasy story. As I see it, a rich European guy should generally tread carefully if depicting that world, even if it's a attempt to produce a layered and realistic portrait. But Boyle just used the slum as poverty ั€orn in a story that could just as easily been set in Lagos, Jakarta or Sao Paulo.

I answered your 'why' question in the following post.

I'm not much of a Tarantino fan, and I don't think he has grown up as a director since his breakout films, but for me nothing he has made is as bad as Slumdog.

Fair enough. You raise some decent points.


I like tarantino’s production values, but I hate his pointless go nowhere dialogue, pulp fiction is one of the most overrated movies ever and the hateful 8 is very hateful.

Slumdog Millionaire is overrated and I don't care for many of Boyle's films but I would concede that he is at least a solid film maker. This would be the most I've been up for a Boyle film in a long while.

posted 6 days, 19 hours ago

Tarantino hasn’t really done anything of note since Jackie Brown, definitely lost whatever made him so interesting after his first few films. His more recent movies while watchable are very bloated and the dialogue can be hard to watch at times.

Plenty of far more interesting directors around these days than either of those 2.
