Murphy will also take on producer duties on the project too.Speaking to NME in 2022 about a potential return to the franchise, Murphy said: “I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older… but every time I do bump into Danny or Alex I always mention it.

Because I showed it to my kids recently, some Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. It really stands up, which is amazing for a film that’s 20 years old.

So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very appealing to me.”The film’s official synopsis reads (via Variety): “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.“One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway.
