SDCC 08: Another 28 Days?

Our man Tristan has been stuck in the dreaded Hall H all day long, sitting through panel after panel after panel, afraid to leave for fear of not being able to get back in. Hopefully someone buys him many beers tonight. But perhaps all that waiting has paid off?

During the last panel he sat through, for James McTeigue’s Ninja Assassin, he got what might be some cool news regarding a new 28 Days Later. You see Naomie Harris, who played Selena in Danny Boyle’s classic film, is in Ninja Assassin and one of the audience members asked her if she would consider doing a 28 Days Later sequel.

Seems her reaction was very enthusiastic, and she even went so far as to say she had spoken with one of the original’s producers about that very subject recently, and there is a chance it may happen. Of course, it's all very vague and may not amount to another 28... film, but considering how badass the second one was, I’m going to hope I’m wrong!
