et ready for another zombie attack as the director of South Korean hit film Train To Busan confirmed on Monday that a follow-up movie is in the works.
The sequel to the 2016 zombie action flick, which saw passengers in a moving train face off against zombies, will reportedly be an extension of the first film and revisit the zombie outbreak that the original featured.
However, this time, the movie will focus on the whole country and how it deals with the aftermath of the apocalypse.
The team behind the sequel is using the working title of Bando, according to online reports, and hopes to start shooting next year.
