Character Posters For Danny Boyle's Zombie Horror Film 28 YEARS LATER
Sony Pictures has released a collection of character posters for Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later. They feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes.
I’m very excited about this movie. I loved the first two that were made and I’m real;ly curious to see how this word has evolved after 28 yearss. I hope this movie succeeds so that we get to see the full trilogy and vision that Boyle and Alex Garland has planned.
The film’s synopsis reads: “It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.
“One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.”
This is the first of two movies in the 28 Years Later trilogy, both have already been filmed. Boyle directed the first installment, while Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) directed the second, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
When previously talking about the film, Boyle said that the movie “doesn’t feel like a sequel. It feels like an original movie.”
“When you’re doing a movie, you’re looking for those images that will terrify people. There’s a visceral element to cinema where you have a responsibility to push the envelope as far as you can go. I want that sense of suffocating intensity,”
Actor Ralph Fiennes also shared details on the story, saying: “Britain is 28 years into this terrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid humans with a few pockets of uninfected communities.
“And it centers on a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother. He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English terrain. But of course, around them hiding in forests and hills and woods are the infected.
“But he finds a doctor who is a man we might think is going to be weird and odd, but actually is a force for good.”
Cillian Murphy will also reprise his role in the franchise as Jim, a former bicycle courier who previously woke from a coma to find the ‘Rage Virus’ has decimated London. But he will not appear in the first movie. He also serves as an executive producer.
28 Years Later hits theaters June 20th 2025.
