Turns out zombies don’t mellow with age.Sony Pictures unleashed an extended look at Danny Boyle’s “28 Years Later” – the threequel to the director’s groundbreaking 2002 outbreak film – at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday night.
The franchise refresh picks up, well, 28 years after the terrifying Rage virus broke out across the globe (pandemics now being shorthand for worldwide audiences). Man has found a way to survive amongst the flesh-eating zombies, on a remote English island connected to the mainland. It’s guarded, obviously, within in an inch of all lives involved.
“I still love an apocalypse,” Boyle said from the stage. “I love killing the infected. I still love blowing shit up. That’s how my agent describes my best stuff.”
He wasn’t kidding. Boyle shared a full second trailer exclusively with the exhibitors, which significantly ratchets up the terror from a teaser shared earlier this year. Jump scares (many of which rely on sound) abound as monuments built with human skulls pepper what was left of the United Kingdom. Taylor-Johnson and newcomer Alfie Williams must journey from their island haven into the continent .It’s been nearly 30 years, and these zombies are f—— hungry,.
An ominous Ralph Fiennes, fresh off a prestige fun with 2024’s “Conclave,” narrates the footage as a survivor of the first outbreak. And, yes, we get glorious closeups of Cillian Murphy’s paper-thin skeleton ravaging the countryside.
The film is scripted by noted indie filmmaker Alex Garland, who also penned the original. He reunites on the project with director Boyle and flagship cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (“Slumdog Millionaire”). The original film’s star and Oscar Murphy returns as an executive producer.
Taylor Johnson is joined by Jodie Comer, Jack O’Connell (“Sinners), MMA fighter Chi Lewis-Parry and “Mayor of Kingstown” star Emma Laird. The film will roll out wide on June 20.
