28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (Nia DaCosta, January 16, 2026) Movie • Page 21

Yeah, we've gone from "movie" to "no movie" to "still a movie". The only place we can go now is "dead".

 

Two years is fine, I don't even think that's that long of a wait

 

the world could end in that amount of time

 

grim spittin'

 

in all seriousness, truly hope him making these statements means it's all but officially green lit. really really would love a conclusion to this.

 

I think most people are just having knee jerk reactions to the span of time based on how quickly we got bone temple after the first but that was only cause they shot them back to back. Everyone seems to be forgetting that

 

100% my feelings in general are more due to it underperforming in theatres and how quick some studios are to can stuff because of that. I’m happy to wait as long as we get it eventually. Was mostly shitposting earlier

 

Oh it wasn't directed at you! I've seen other folks acting impatient about it elsewhere

 

Could be worse, could be waiting 2-3 decades. Like 28 years or something

 

This is easily much better news than outright cancellation of the project

 

I think the green light in December, then the uncertainty after the box office of Bone Temple, but hopefulness after the critical and fan response is what has everyone on edge. This comment gives me slightly more hope but there’s a lot of time between now and 2027 and since it isn’t the studio saying it, I’m still not super confident.

 

One would hope Sony would take into account the fumbling of the marketing for The Bone Temple’s failure and also realize that Cillian and Boyle returning would add some heft to this that maybe The Bone Temple didn’t have. But then again, Sony’s not known for good decisions.

 

Lfg

 

like the sound of that (i mean, other than why it got delayed and everything)

 

Seated

 

Yeah everyone was pretty convinced the Bone Temple box office ruined the chance of a sequel, so this is definitely good news. I don't mind waiting now that it seems like more of a sure thing. If it's just essentially a scheduling conflict I'll take it

 

I still literally don't understand how people thought there wasn't going to be a third

 

The box office?

 

I think there's a bigger chance that Sony wants to keep getting critically acclaimed movies and keep a strong partnership with Boyle and Garland. Betting on the 3rd movie performing more than the 2nd and then being able to sell and market a complete trilogy.

 

I don't think it was unreasonable to be worried when it looked like it wasn't meeting expectations

 

Being worried is one thing but everyone acted like there was no chance it was ever happening, just seemed ridiculous

 

George Miller also says he wants to make another Mad Max movie but no one thinks that is really going to happen after the way Furiosa performed, despite critical acclaim. Movie studios do not care about critical acclaim.

 

Sony has a track record of killing things that would still make money, like Raimi’s Spider-Man 4. It’s not out of the realm of possibility since they lost their ass on this.

 

Eh, I think that it was just poorly marketed and they know they fucked up
