The next two big releases were set to be Chris Columbus’ I Love You, Beth Cooper and Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body which strike me as fairly likely candidates for at least small-scale box office success. Further along the pipe was the comedy Accidentes, a Sacha Baron Cohen vehicle to be written by Peter Baynham (we previously only knew Cohen was to produce, not necessarily star), and the rage-infected not-zombies-honest-guv sequel, 28 Months Later.
Months has long since been rumored but this marks the first reference in a trade paper which lends it a certain credibility. Of course, it was all but inevitable since the sequel failed to cancel out the goodwill engendered by the first part (personally, though, I definitely prefer Weeks to Days, principally because it eschewed the aesthetic hurdles adopted by the first part and only inherited some of the silliness, didn’t invent it).
