"28 Days Later" franchise resuming after nearly two decades
With the 28 Days Later franchise resuming after nearly two decades, Ralph Fiennes is preparing fans to return to the zombie apocalypse.
Ahead of the June 20, 2025 premiere of 28 Years Later, the 2x Oscar nominee revealed some new plot details and an update on the status of the new trilogy, kicking off with returning OG writer/director duo, Alex Garland and Danny Boyle.
“It’s three films, of which two have been shot,” Fiennes told IndieWire.
Fiennes explained of the plot, “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.”
For the following installment, entitled 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, Nia DaCosta was in talks to direct earlier this year, with a script by Garland.
After starring in 28 Days Later (2002) and sitting out the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, Cillian Murphy reprises his role in 28 Years Later as Jim, a former bicycle courier who previously woke from a coma to find the ‘Rage Virus’ has decimated London. He also serves as an executive producer.
The upcoming sequel also features Fiennes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman and Edvin Ryding.

Cillian already showed his cock in the first movie, so I think it's only fair that Aaron Taylor-Johnson shows his huge cock in THIS movie!

The first film is fantastic, the absolute best of it's type with some brilliant scenes. I will look at this upcoming film as I did 28 Weeks, with small expectation but still sine interest.

Agree with you R6 but you have to admit the opening scene of 28 Weeks was one of the most intense ever put on film.

28 Days Later is a perfect film, as is Trainspotting, Shallow Grave. While not in the same league, I loved Sunshine as well.
I will watch anything Boyle does.

Sunshine featured Chris Evans at his best. It was the first time I thought he might have something. It's too bad he hasn't followed that vein much more since.

R4, Cillian has a beautiful ass.
You don't think so?

Chris Evans was pushed into the business by his stage mother. It was never something he craved and wanted. After Captain America and the Avengers set him up for life, he lost interest in the business and only works when he feels like it. He's not ambitious at all.

I like that perspective on ambition in a man. It's not as though he's doing exciting indie projects to stretch his wings or to interpret the words of some great writer. I can understand people who haven't attained a certain level of success or who really do crave some artistic or career challenge, but when you're a middling actor who has simply lucked/clawed into some very lucrative roles many times over, I have much more respect when they step aside and say, ënough of that, thanks."

Will there be Trans Zombies???
Will the military hierarchy portrayed in the film have mostly black female hetrosexual leaders under 40????
Will several scenes portray white hetrosexual males over 50 as zombie food?

I’m still so sick of zombies and vampires. How long has this fixation been going on, 20 years?
