Balancing Franchise Legacy and Bold New Vision: Producing 28 Years Later

Now that 28 Years Later has hit theaters with Danny Boyle returning to direct and Jodie Comer leading the female cast, I’m curious how producers view the balance between creative risk and franchise legacy.

Given the film’s bold tonal shift and emotionally driven narrative. especially with its focus on a mother-son dynamic in a post-apocalyptic setting, how do you think producers weigh the expectations of long-time fans against the need to evolve a franchise creatively?

Would love to hear from you.

Are you eager to watch it?

I think producers add things from the first movie to the sequel for long-time fans, Sandra Isabel Correia, and I think producers add new things to evolve the franchise creatively and draw more people to it.

Sandra Isabel Correia

That’s a good strategy Maurice Vaughan. Like that, producers can engage the long-time fans and the new ones. What is your favorite franchise?

Maurice Vaughan

I like so many franchises, Sandra Isabel Correia. It's hard to pick a favorite. Maybe Mission: Impossible. What's your favorite or one of your favorites?

Sandra Isabel Correia

Star Wars Maurice Vaughan, is my number one :)) I like Mission Impossible also, but the last one disappointed my expectations. Lord of the Rings is another one in my heart. And I am excited to see Avatar, the new film. There are so many that’s difficult to chose :)) It means they are good :))

I saw the first Avatar, Sandra Isabel Correia. It's epic! I still need to watch the second one. Batman is another one of my favorite franchises. Friday the 13th, Jurassic Park, and John Wick too.
