Wildly Nightmarish New Trailer for Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER
Sony Pictures unleashed an intense new trailer for director Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, and it offers a much better look at the nightmarish horror that awaits audiences.
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.”
“Shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with the aide of numerous specialised attachments. Cillian Murphy returns as Jim, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O'Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Ralph Fiennes.”
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.
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.”
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.
