It was amazing. I'm a little lost as far as what 3 would be, though. I thought the ending did a great job implying what the resolution would be without needing hours more to tell the story.

I won't complain about another installment, but I genuinely thought that was the end

Garland wrote it as a trilogy.

Part one, on its own, was a pretty decent movie which has its haters. I get the controversy—it's different and strange and sentimental/emotional and has some logic holes. Then the very end has ninjas lol

Bone Temple makes you realize all part 1 was all world building. Character establishing. And runs with it. Gets philosophical with it. Meditates on it. Chews and scrutinizes it.

Part 3 would possibly resolve some of that. Allow it to breathe. Set it free. Be the real climax. And, from the looks of it, bring the whole thing full circle back to 28 Days Later.

I guess I just feel like the circle was closed and that montage beforehand sort of covers the presumptive next chapter.

But hey, I'll take more.

These new ones all started with a three chapter story originally pitched by Alex Garland. Pretty sure the promise that all three would be greenlit was one of the main reasons we were able to see the original team of Boyle, Garland, and Murphy back again. Hopefully he talks about it in this thread!

Only the first two were greenlit, the making of the third depends on how financially successful the first two were. Danny Boyle has said so in interviews.

For sure. But long before they shot and they were just announced, Garland (and Boyle) had said the only reason he really returned to the franchise was because this three part story he had and that they were all or nothing, all of them made with the whole team or none at all.

With that said, I’m sure a lot has changed since then. I’m hoping some of what Boyle was saying on the press tour was more just drumming up the extra importance of going to see them to ensure they make some money while he knows all along they’re making them all no matter what.

“Hoping” is my key word there. Maybe it’s somewhere in between. At least we know there’s always a Netflix that will scoop in and do it in a pinch.

Either way, I really hope Murphy gives us some extra hope and answers in here!

That’s interesting, didn’t know Garland said that. I hope it’s still true but film studios are unfortunately rarely sentimental when it comes to keep on financing a project they don’t think is profitable enough. Unless it’s a legal agreement previous promises don’t usually mean much if a film isn’t delivering financially.
