The Last of Us is better than 28 Days Later - at least when it comes to writing. I will not take into account the directorial work here, because that would be stupid. I know what 28 days want to be and I know what I did with it and I know my own process behind it.

The thing is when I saw The Last of Us, I thought oh, but that's so much more sophisticated and more intense. It really moved me. I don't want to shoot 28 Days, I am very proud [on my film]! This is a very nice part of my life.

But honestly: The Last of Us is at a completely different level. And yes, of course that also influenced me.
