’28 Days Later’ Sets Streaming Release Ahead of ’28 Years Later’

by

As a long-time fan of Danny Boyle’s cinematic masterpieces, I can barely contain my excitement over the upcoming digital release of “28 Days Later“. This film is not just a classic zombie movie; it’s a testament to the power of survival, the horror of a post-apocalyptic world, and Cillian Murphy’s haunting portrayal of Jim.

Sony seems to understand your longing for an outstanding zombie movie, and they believe “28 Years Later” is just what you’re looking for! Indeed, Sony has confirmed that this will be Danny Boyle’s debut into the world of flesh-eating undead, now available on digital platforms. Originally released in 2002, “28 Days Later” showcased Cillian Murphy as Jim, who awoke from a 28-day coma to discover London overrun by zombies. This film remains one of the most terrifying modern zombie movies ever made, with its unique Rage Zombies that sprinted towards their victims at high speed. For years, fans have yearned to experience the gruesome carnage from the convenience of their homes, but “28 Days Later” has been elusive on streaming platforms. Now, it’s finally making its way onto digital platforms!

Sony revealed that the movie “28 Days Later” is set to become streamable through a dedicated page on their website, titled “Go Back to Day One.” This page allows fans to submit their contact details to stay informed about the digital release of “28 Days Later.” As of now, an official release date has not been disclosed. Fans who sign up will also receive an email containing a link to pre-order the digital release once it becomes accessible.

Enthusiasts of digital collections can celebrate the acquisition of Boyle’s horror masterpiece, but fans of traditional media formats are left in the dark, as the announcement pertains solely to a digital release. Regrettably, there appears to be no imminent plan for a Blu-ray or 4K remastered version to hit the shelves. Here’s hoping that the film will soon see a physical release, so that Murphy’s journey through an empty London can be experienced in its full high-definition glory.

Is Cillian Murphy in ’28 Years Later?’

After around two decades, Danny Boyle has returned to complete the 28 trilogy. The first trailer for the long-awaited third installment, titled 28 Years Later, showcases Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes. The chilling trailer, set to a spine-tingling rendition of the Rudyard Kipling poem, Boots, leaves audiences on edge, hinting at an intense fear-filled experience when it arrives in theaters next June. It has been confirmed that Cillian Murphy will reprise his role for the upcoming film, but there’s no sign of Jim in the new trailer.

Fans believed they spotted Jim looking like a terrifying, skeletal zombie for just a brief moment in the movie preview. This zombie bears a striking resemblance to the Irish actor, and his weight loss for the film “Oppenheimer” is astounding in comparison. However, it’s been clarified that the zombie isn’t Cillian Murphy, leading fans to search for Jim again. Some speculate he could be the character wearing the eerie mask (despite their being female), but it seems more probable that Murphy’s appearance is being saved for a later trailer. Alternatively, in the tradition of old-school trailers, Jim’s return might not even be revealed in any of the previews at all.

2025 marks the release date for the movie titled “28 Years Later,” which was directed by Danny Boyle, with screenplay written by Alex Garland, known for his works such as “Civil War,” “Ex Machina,” and the original “28 Days Later.” This film is rumored to kick off a brand-new horror trilogy.
