    2002 & 2007. Prescient in so many ways...
    ...for instance:

    ..in the 2007 "28 Weeks Later" sequel in which NATO and the US Military move in to protect and save Britain from the "Rage" virus Boyle directed just one scene. A Spanish director and Spanish writers took over 'cos Danny was,er, "too busy".
