What do you do when your cheaps as chips to make English horror film earns a loyal cult audience and around $70 million in worldwide box-office sales? You greenlight a sequel of course.

Variety reports that Fox Searchlight is putting together a sequel to 2002's Danny Boyle-directed "28 Days Later". For now the studio would confirm only that a sequel is in the works, sources said the tentative title is "28 Weeks Later" and that the studio is circling Roland Joffe ("The Killing Fields", "Last Resort") to write the script.

Boyle is not expected to direct the sequel, though he and screenwriter Alex Garland likely will take producing roles alongside the first pic's producer, Andrew Macdonald. The first film's star Cillian Murphy is currently playing the villainous 'The Scarecrow' in "Batman Begins".
