Danny Boyle’s Exciting Sequel: 28 Years Later Trailer Released
The anticipation is over! Danny Boyle’s long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later, has just released a new trailer, following its record-breaking first reveal four months ago. Watch the trailer below:
Set against the stunning backdrop of a picturesque island retreat, 28 Years Later follows the last surviving members of humanity as they valiantly defend themselves against an unrelenting and increasingly desperate zombie horde. While the original film was a racing tribute to George Romero’s Living Dead trilogy, with a hint of Night of the Triffids, the sequel appears to draw inspiration from Romero’s later, less acclaimed works. This fresh direction is something I’m genuinely excited about. The notion of a secluded island hideaway evokes memories of Survival of the Dead’s Plum Island. Additionally, scenes featuring upscale victims, especially with jaw-dropping hairstyles during an apocalypse, remind us of Land of the Dead’s dramatic assault on Fiddler’s Green, its fortified sanctuary.
While the exact plot details of 28 Years Later remain a mystery, initial snippets showcase a father-son relationship centered on zombie hunting and action-packed siege battles against the infected. Our heroes are set to explore the mainland and stumble upon a chilling monument of human skulls—a twist that resonates with Nia DaCosta’s upcoming sequel, titled The Bone Temple. Additionally, expect encounters with a deranged preacher harboring doomsday ambitions, a weary Ralph Fiennes, and a newborn baby, potentially played by Jodie Comer, found in an abandoned train car. It’s shaping up to be a thrilling cinematic experience!
28 Years Later features an impressive cast, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, Edvin Ryding, Chi Lewis-Parry, and Emma Laird. The film is set for theatrical release on June 28, 2024, in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
