Cillian Murphy Addresses Whether He'll Star In '28 YEARS LATER'

We announced last week that fans of 28 DAYS LATER will indeed be getting a new film in the infection flick franchise with 28 YEARS LATER and now the star of the original film, Cillian Murphy has given his opinion on the upcoming film as well as whether or not he’ll be back.

With additional details about the project not yet revealed, it's still unclear if Murphy will actually appear in the film, but speaking with Variety, Murphy made it clear that he's available to be a part of 28 Years Later.

In the interview, Murphy spoke about shooting two endings to the original 28 Years Later — one in which his character, Jim, survives and one in which Jim dies.  The film ultimately went with the more "optimistic" ending in which Jim survived, something that leaves the door open to see Murphy in the role again.

"I think when I was younger and bit more nihilist … I liked the image of two women surviving at the end and f-ck the man," Murphy said. "But I think they wanted the version with the hope."

When he was specifically asked if he could come back for another movie, Murphy replied, "I'm available."

It would be very interesting to see where Cillian Murphy’s character ended up after all those years and zombies. Hopefully we’ll bring you more soon on the film.
