"It was such a cool concept that I jumped at the chance when our record label / manager said, "I'd like you to do a second "Friends & Family" and it was like, "Hey!" Because, to be able to pick from some of the top and best bands of the late '60s and '70s, pick a song and lovingly and respectfully recreate it whether it's exactly the same or we play around with it a little bit is just such a cool idea and so much fun and I loved making the second one."

Following the conclusion of the original run of Planet of the Apes movies in the '70s, European cinemagoers were surprised to find a new batch of Planet of the Apes movies arriving in their local picture palaces. These new movies weren't actually movies at all, but two episodes of the Planet of the Apes TV show stitched together to fill a feature length running time. 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland's belated (or five years early?) third instalment of their not-zombie franchise, might be mistaken for two episodes of The Walking Dead glued together and released into cinemas.
