Boyle: '28 Years Later 3' Not Yet a Priority
9 Oct
Summary
- Third '28 Years Later' film is on hold due to funding needs.
- AI was used to face-swap Margaret Thatcher in Boyle's 'Ink'.
- AI use bypassed Thatcher's estate for artistic expression.
The anticipated third film in the '28 Years Later' series is currently on hold, according to director Danny Boyle. While a script penned by Alex Garland is complete, Boyle indicated that securing funding is the primary challenge, placing the project "on the back burner." Garland is also reportedly busy with a significant adaptation project.
Boyle recently discussed his judicious use of artificial intelligence in his film 'Ink,' which chronicles the rise of The Sun newspaper. He elaborated on employing AI for a face-swap to depict Margaret Thatcher, opting against using an impersonator. Boyle defended this decision, asserting that he did not seek permission from Thatcher's estate, believing artists should be free to explore historical figures' influence without such constraints.
