Excited for more Zombie action? 28 Years Later announces a surprise sequel

Very few movies film their sequels back-to-back. In fact, the last time I remember this happening was back in the year 2000 when they filmed all three Lord of the Rings movies back-to-back. Now, studios are too scared to spend that extra money until they know for sure that the first film will do well.

This always creates resentment from fans because they have to wait years sometimes for a film's sequel to be released.

Well, 28 Years Later just dropped a bomb on the world of Hollywood, announcing a surprise sequel called 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. This sequel was shot secretly just after they finished shooting the first movie and will be released in just seven months.

This is huge news for fans of the franchise, as 28 Years Later ended on quite a cliffhanger.
