As a die-hard fan of the “28 Days Later” franchise, I must say that the news about the upcoming trilogy, titled “28 Years Later,” has left me absolutely thrilled! It’s been over two decades since the original film graced our screens, and the anticipation for a direct sequel has been palpable. The fact that not one, but three movies are on the horizon is nothing short of a dream come true!
28 Days Later, released over two decades ago, offered a fresh perspective on the zombie genre, earning acclaim from both fans and critics. The film was followed by a sequel in 2007, 28 Weeks Later, and since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating a third installment. Now, their wait is over as not only will they get 28 Years Later scheduled for release in 2025, but there are also plans for additional films. Recently, cast member Ralph Fiennes has revealed some details about what we can expect, and I’m excitedly looking forward to the upcoming releases.
Previously, it had been understood that “28 Years Later” would serve as a sequel of sorts to “28 Days Later,” with Cillian Murphy returning to his role from the initial film. However, specifics about the plot of the upcoming movie or movies (with three in development) remained unknown. During an interview with IndieWire, Ralph Fiennes disclosed that he will portray a doctor in these films and elaborated on how his character fits into the larger narrative. According to Fiennes…
Three movies have been made so far, with two already filmed. For the past 28 years, Britain has been grappling with a horrific pandemic that transformed many humans into violent, rabid creatures, leaving scattered pockets of uninfected individuals. The story revolves around a young boy on a quest to find a doctor to save his ailing mother. Together, they traverse the picturesque northern English landscapes. However, lurking in forests, hills, and woods are the infected beings. Remarkably, he encounters a doctor who initially seems peculiar but turns out to be an altruistic figure.
In contrast to the previous two films, where characters struggled to survive in unfamiliar worlds, the upcoming movie centers around a protagonist who seems to have never known any other world at all. This unique premise, seldom seen and potentially setting 28 Years Later apart from other zombie movies, is intriguing. Writer Alex Garland hinted that time will play a significant role in the new film, making it even more fascinating.
28 Years Later is set in a timeframe decades after the original outbreak, suggesting that the once-human monsters continue to pose significant dangers for anyone attempting to traverse the world. Notably, both familiar faces and newcomers will be featured in this installment, with the latter group likely playing pivotal roles.
Ralph Fiennes shared some thrilling updates about the trilogy of new movies in progress. Interestingly, it seems that not only was the first film finished filming, but so was the second one as well. Here’s hoping these upcoming films meet and surpass the exceptional quality established by their predecessor.
