It’s been over two decades since 28 Days Later kicked off this franchise in 2002, and Boyle is finally ready to take us back. The original film starred Cillian Murphy in his breakout role and became a massive hit, inspiring a commercially and critically successful sequel 28 Weeks Later.

After years of anticipation, the third film in this franchise is finally on the way. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but it’s safe to assume that the sequel will be set in the same post-apocalyptic world as its predecessors, impacted by a highly contagious virus.

Boyle is coming on board as a director, while Alex Garland wrote the script. Sony Pictures is reportedly plotting this project as the first part of a trilogy, and they’ve already managed to attract some A-list talent. Emmy winner Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), and Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes (The Grand Budapest Hotel) are the first stars to join this project in mystery roles.

According to its official logline, The Menu centers on a young couple (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult) traveling to a coastal island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where world-famous Chef Slowik (Fiennes) has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.

In the trailer, Chef Slowik promises “this menu, this guest list, this entire evening has been painstakingly planned,” but we quickly come to learn that serving picture-perfect Michelin-style dishes wasn’t the only thing that he had in mind.

The Menu was directed by Mark Mylod, who previously helmed episodes of Succession, Shameless, and Game of Thrones. It’s based on the script of Seth Reiss and Will Tracy, with Adam McKay and Betsy Koch serving as producers. In addition to the main trio, its cast includes Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light, John Leguizamo, Rob Yang, and Aimee Carrero.

The Menu will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before heading to theatres on November 18.

According to its official logline, this promising project is “set in the world of eccentric culinary culture, centering on a young couple who visit an exclusive restaurant on a remote island where an acclaimed chef has prepared a lavish tasting menu.”

Fiennes is set to play the role of the acclaimed chef, while Taylor-Joy will join him as one-half of the couple. The Menu will be directed by Mark Mylod, who most recently found success as the director and executive producer of the critically acclaimed HBO show Succession.

The Menu isn’t the only exciting project that Taylor-Joy has on the way. We’ll soon get to see her play one of the lead roles in Edgar Wright’s next film Last Night in Soho. She’s also set to reunite with Robert Eggers in The Northman, and star alongside Christian Bale and Margot Robbie in David O. Russell’s upcoming period comedy.

The film follows the impact of a tragic accident in the lives of an English couple attending a party at a luxurious desert villa in Morocco. Playing the couple are Fiennes and Chastain, but it won’t be the first time the two have teamed on screen — they previously starred together in Coriolanus in 2011.

The indie feature is set in late 1940s Chicago. Gyllenhaal (The Kindergarten Teacher) is set to play Dr. Edith Farnsworth, whose project with the Bauhaus architect Mies Van Der Rohe, played by Fiennes, to build the first glass house led them into a love affair like none other. 

Farnsworth House will be directed by Ricard Press, who will also be penning the screenplay. Gyllenhaal is producing with Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa though Bona Fide Productions. 

“I am always looking for projects about real women, with complicated, interesting minds,” Gyllenhaal said. “They are far and few between and Farnsworth House is a rare find. In Edith Farnsworth is the opportunity to express a full and exciting spectrum of thoughts and feelings. But there is also the opportunity for the most exciting kind of artistic experience: a collaboration. Farnsworth House is a love story between two iconoclasts, two equally interesting players.”

Farnsworth House is currently in pre-produciton.
