RE: There's No Discharge in The War: Waiting for '28 Years Later'

I read that it's going to be a two-part film, not sure how I feel about that.
I enjoyed 28 Days Later but it loses me a bit when it goes to the mansion. And 28 Weeks Later is a bit of a weak one.
Oh, did you know they released a comic that takes place around the same time as the events of 28 Weeks Later? It focuses on Selena. Also mentions that Jim was captured and sentenced to death for killing the soldiers.

Oh no I didn't know about the comic!
I heard it was three parts. Maybe I'm wrong?
Look I'm totally biased with zombie films. I enjoy most of them! Did you watch 28 Days when it first came out?
Yeah I grew up a bit addicted to zombie/disaster films. But I was only 7 when 28 Days Later released so it must've been a few more years until I first saw it, but I definitely would've been far younger than I should've been. I was always watching the films that would air on BBC2 and Channel 4 at night. Do you remember when the BBC would air the classic James Bond films every Friday night?
I think late night tv is probably where I first saw 28 Days/Weeks Later.
Channel 4 got me into international cinema though, from a really young age I remember seeing things like Chungking Express or Battle Royale. Also some great Asian martial arts films!
I didn't grow up in the UK do although we did get BBC stuff in Australia we would be more likely to see those films on DVD or at the movies.
I was 30 when it was released so I'm a bit older than you haha. So maybe it hit different as I saw it when it came out. It certainly was fresh.
Ah Battle Royale!!! That was crazy too when it hit. Ground breaking films for time.
