New 28 YEARS LATER Image and Jodie Comer Recalls Her Fear Shooting the Film: "I Felt like I Was Actually Running for My Life!”
We’ve got a new photo to share with you from director Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, which is the first of a new trilogy of films in the horror franchise.
The image features Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes in the Bone Temple that we saw in the trailer. Comer also talked to Empire about what it was the film production like for her and the real fear she felt while shooting.
The actress explained: “The thing about our stunt performers playing the infected is they really don’t take the speed off for you. They chase you. There were so many moments where I felt like I was actually running for my life!”
While Comer was feeling the fear, the was caught up in the rush of capturing the film’s action. Comer recalled: “He just said, ‘I love this stuff’. I said, ‘Why?’ ‘Because you just have to go there. You can’t fake it. You have to really go there in order for the audience to be with you.’”
Comer plays Isla in the movie, the partner of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Jamie, who are raising their son Spike (Alfie Williams), who is a child that has never known a world without the Infected.
Comer added: “Spike’s a real beacon of light for her.”
The synopsis reads: “‘Time didn't heal anything.’ Sometime after the events of 28 Weeks Later, the Rage Virus has returned, and a group of survivors must survive in a world ravaged by hordes of the infected.”
During a previous interview, actor Ralph Fiennes 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.”
Alex Garland (28 Days Later) wrote 28 Years Later, and it’s set to be unleashed in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony.
