When news broke a few weeks back that Danny Boyle was looking to get a direct sequel to 28 Days Later off the ground, there was no mention of Cillian Murphy’s involvement. Things have drastically changed in the time since. Murphy is now an executive producer on 28 Years Later, and there are talks that he could star in the film. You have my attention. (THR)

After enjoying Gwendolyn Kiste’s Reluctant Immortals, dreadpiratekel is contemplating reading Jane Eyre. “[Reluctant Immortals] is dark as it deals with coercion, past spousal abuse, death, vampirism, and locking people in attics (I’m sorry, I am hung up on how this must have played out in Jane Eyre), but it is set in a time and place that screams ‘sunshine, tie-dye, fringe vests, and bell-bottoms’ to my brain.” How do you feel about classic literary characters having new stories told about them?
