From Wiki, “…. was announced that a third film titled 28 Years Later, was officially in development; with plans for the project to be the first of a new trilogy of sequels.”

So it's a trilogy within a trilogy?

[–] DancingintheDark (1806) 2 months ago

That’s what it’s looking like, maybe stand alone films with overarching themes and possibly characters and interwoven storylines.

Interesting. Has that ever happened before? Can't think of a time.

I’m sure it has, in some form, most likely in novels for the most part though.

Steven King for example ties his novels together even though most are completely independent of eachother, and Quentin Tarantino too, with most if not all of his films, Vic Vega, Vincent Vega….

I know this isn’t an example of a trilogy within a trilogy though, lol.
