Fans of the\u00a028 Years Later\u00a0movies may soon be willing. If all goes well, the third entry<\/a> in the planned trilogy is really happening.<\/p>\n

We say \u201cif\u201d because Danny Boyle\u2014director of the first Years and this next one\u2014said \u201cfingers crossed\u201d about it going into production. As he recently told JoBlo<\/a>, everyone\u2019s all in on it, and the trilogy\u2019s writer Alex Garland \u201chas a wonderful script\u201d ready. But the team couldn\u2019t shoot it after the prior two films because they \u201cliterally ran out of time.\u201d The new entry has to be shot in a part of Britain \u201cwhere you can only film at certain times of the year,\u201d a tease that probably already has some fans excited.<\/p>\n

The fate of\u00a028 Years Later 3\u00a0has been in limbo since\u00a028 Years Later: The Bone Temple<\/a>\u00a0this past January. It reviewed well, but underperformed financially<\/a> because its release was impacted by a winter storm that month and coming out just seven months after its predecessor. Sony seemed committed to completing the trilogy and ensuring Cillian Murphy would bring it all home, but it\u2019s nice to have full confirmation. And as a bonus, the time between Bone\u00a0and this third movie gives the filmmakers some cover for Alfie Williams\u2019 Spike being a full teenager when we see him next.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more on\u00a028 Years Later 3\u00a0as news emerges.<\/p>\n
