The first trailer for Sony’s horror tentpole “28 Years Later” went viral not only because it marked the return of the zombie horror franchise after 17 years but also because of a one-second shot of an emaciated zombie that looked awfully like Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, who starred in 2002’s “28 Days Later” and is rumored to be returning for the new installment.

Murphy starred in 2002’s “28 Days Later” as Jim, a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover an apocalyptic London that has been destroyed by a zombie virus. Jim survives the events of the movie but did not appear in the 2007 sequel “28 Weeks Later.” Murphy is an executive producer on the upcoming “28 Years Later,” and the trailer’s reveal of a zombie looking like the Oscar winner left fans both excited that Murphy was back as Jim but devastated over Jim not...

The internet went wild for Cillian Murphy as a zombie, but it seems people have bitten off more than they can chew.

When the 28 Years Later trailer dropped on Tuesday, a glimpse of a lookalike zombie sparked fevered speculation that the film would feature an undead Murphy.

Deadline was among those who speculated that Murphy could be set to reprise his 28 Days Later role of Jim, with the character having succumbed to the “Rage Virus.”

Sony Pictures Entertainment did little to quell the internet rumors, which included celebrity culture accounts joking about his look.

By now, you've probably seen the 28 Years Later trailer. Many people are clamoring over one particular still that appears to show a desiccated Cillian Murphy. Murphy, who starred in the 2002 film as bicycle courier Jim, will return in some capacity, and the trailer seems to indicate he might have fallen victim to the Rage Virus... or something else entirely.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are also returning for this sequel, the start of a new trilogy that will debut in June 2025. Considering the hype surrounding this movie, perhaps one of the most influential modern films of all time on the outbreak subgenre, it's understandable why many people are looking to revisit the 2002 movie. Unfortunately, most people are out of luck.

Cillian Murphy has become a major member of Hollywood's A-list lately, in no small part thanks to his leading role in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Best Picture-winner "Oppenheimer." In truth, however, Murphy has been delivering on screen for decades now, working with some of cinema's best directors along the way. What's more, one of his early hits was his collaboration with Oscar-winner Danny Boyle on the much-beloved pandemic/zombie horror film "28 Days Later." Unfortunately, more than 20 years later, the movie is all but impossible for most people to watch.

"28 Days Later" was released in 2002, with Fox Searchlight Pictures handling distribution while DNA Films and the U.K. Film Council provided the funding. It was a small movie that ended up finding a bigger audience than anyone expected. It's also one of those movies that, because it was funded by...

Cillian Murphy Was Not Director Danny Boyle’s First Choice!(Photo Credit – YouTube)

The much-awaited trailer of the post-apocalyptic horror flick 28 Years Later was finally released, and social media is in a frenzy. They are debating whether Cillian Murphy appeared in the trailer as a zombie incarnate of his character Jim. But did you know he was not the first choice for the role or even the second choice? However, he gained recognition in that role in the original movie 28 Days Later. Scroll below for the deets.

It was released in 2002 and directed by Danny Boyle, featuring the Oppenheimer star as a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious aggression-inducing virus causing the breakdown of society. The Og movie is credited with reinventing the zombie genre of horror film. It is also said to have influenced the revival...

The Danny Boyle directorial 28 Days Later is all set to get a threequel after fifteen years with the upcoming film 28 Years Later. The trailer of the threequel was released recently and showed Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and a possible cameo from Cillian Murphy, who headlined the original film.

While the threequel gears up for release, many fans have noticed that the original film 28 Days Later is not available for streaming anywhere nor are there any physical copies left. The film was distributed by Searchlight Pictures, which was bought by Disney as part of its acquisition of Fox Studios but was reportedly removed from sites like Hulu and Disney+.

Cillian Murphy has proven himself to be one of the most worthy assets to the entertainment industry, and his latest Oscar win further serves as a testament to his brilliance. Besides being thoroughly known for his impeccable charms, he is also famous for his unwavering commitment to his roles, be it in a thriller like 28 Days Later or a historical drama like Oppenheimer.

That reminds us: The trailer for 28 Years Later, a sequel to 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, was recently released, and fans just may have gotten a sneak peek into what Murphy might look like in this post-apocalyptic film. And, if the speculation is right, then his alleged transformation for the said film might as well make his transformation for Oppenheimer look like a piece of cake.

Cillian Murphy’s First Potential Look in 28 Years Later is Beyond Baffling

After a long,...

“28 Years Later,” the long-in-the-works sequel to zombie horror movies “28 Days Later” and “28 Weeks Later,” is coming to theaters next summer, but Sony is already building anticipation. On Tuesday, the studio released an intense trailer for the film. Director Danny Boyle (Academy Award winner for “Slumdog Millionaire”) and screenwriter Alex Garland (Academy Award nominee for “Ex Machina”) resume those roles for the first time since the acclaimed first film, which was released in 2002.

“28 Years Later” is set in rural England many years after the “rage virus” ravaged the world, turning the infected into fast, aggressive zombies, which was innovative in the first film, as up to that point zombies had generally been depicted in their slow, shuffling traditional state. “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected,...

The zombie film 28 Days Later came out way back in 2002, and fans have never been quite able to let it go. These aren't the slow, ambling zombies we're used to from stuff like The Walking Dead or Night of the Living Dead; the zombies in 28 Days Later were fast, angry and focused. We got a sequel movie called 28 Weeks Later in 2007, but it didn't involve the original creative team. Now, over two decades after the original, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland are back in the driver's seat for 28 Years Later, which picks up after the zombie apocalypse has properly devastated society, as zombie apocalypses tend to do.

Sony dropped the officially trailer for 28 Years Later earlier today, and it is properly scary, particularly when it's underscored by an unsettling reading of Rudyard Kipling’s 1903 poem “Boots.” We characters played by the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson,...

Zombie movie action soundtracked by the unhinged vinyl screeches of Boots, Rudyard Kipling’s evocation of soldiers in battle? It’s a match made in horror movie heaven

If you’re honest with yourself, you probably weren’t all that excited about 28 Years Later when you first heard about it. After all, as entertaining as 2002’s 28 Days Later was, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later demonstrated all the signs of diminishing returns. It wasn’t as scary. It wasn’t as memorable. And it turns out that things just weren’t as interesting six months after a zombie outbreak as they were four weeks after. By rights, 28 Years Later should continue this trend. And, when it comes out, that might still prove to be the case. As of now, though, it’s just about the most exciting film of 2025. And this is entirely down to its trailer.

By now, you know...

In a world still reeling from the devastating impact of the Rage Virus, the nightmare of this infection shows no sign of subsiding, and the battle for survival reaches new, harrowing heights. In the gripping official trailer for 28 Years Later, we're thrust back into the heart of chaos, where the relentless virus continues to spread unchecked, leaving a trail of destruction and despair.

The last survivors of humanity hold on to hope amid the chaos, battling the unyielding wave of the infected. With this brand-new third installment to the 28 Days Later film series, we can expect to be put on another adrenaline-fueled ride filled with even more heart-pounding action and gut-wrenching suspense. Take a look at the thrilling first trailer for the upcoming horror film right below.

As you can see in the trailer, the horror is far from over. Many years have passed since the outbreak, but...

If ever there was a franchise that deserved a third part, it is Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's "Days Later..." concept.  The first one, 28 Days Later... was the pop cultural birth of both the 'fast zombie' as well as studio level digital cinema. The second film, a beautiful and profoundly underrated hybrid of intimate family drama, action, and gory as all get out horror, 28 Weeks Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, upped the scale (and the intensity) as sequels often do, and was exceptional at it. It has taken some time, but Danny Boyle returns to the director's chair for a third entry, and Alex Garland...

The world got a rude awakening this morning by way of the brand new trailer for "28 Years Later," which somehow makes the Teletubbies even scarier than they already were. That's what you get when director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite for a sequel to their pandemic movie nightmare "28 Days Later," which they created together over two decades ago. The pair are joined here by an incredible lineup of onscreen talent too, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Feinnes.

While the footage features plenty of folks on the run and trying to avoid getting nibbled or nicked by Rage infected locals (as you would expect), the most jarring thing about the "28 Years Later" trailer is the unsettling audio accompanying it. Rather than using the now iconic "28 Days Later" score by John Murphy to ramp up the stress levels,...

Nearly 20 years since the last film in the franchise, Danny Boyle returns to his long-awaited zombie apocalypse sequel. Titled “28 Years Later,” the film reunites with screenwriter-turned-director Alex Garland—their first film together since 2007’s “Sunshine,” released in the same year as “28 Weeks Later.” Not that much is known about the film, but it appears the rage virus, which had been dormant for nearly three decades has returned.

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. The film has not yet been rated by the MPA, though the first two movies were rated R.

Sony has unleashed the official trailer for 28 Years Later this morning, the long awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that puts Danny Boyle back in the director’s chair.

The long-awaited third instalment in the 28 Days Later franchise is finally on its way. 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, will bring audiences back to the dystopian world shaped by the infamous rage virus. Set to release on 20 June, the film features a powerhouse cast including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, and Ralph Fiennes, promising a gripping exploration of survival, mutation, and terror.

The 28 Days Later series first shocked audiences in 2002, revitalising the zombie genre with its unique take on the infected and its gritty, realistic atmosphere. Boyle and Garland’s collaboration delivered a chilling post-apocalyptic vision where speed, aggression, and raw emotion replaced the shambling dread of traditional zombies. Its intense pacing, stark visuals, and nuanced storytelling have influenced countless horror films since. The sequel, 28 Weeks Later (2007), expanded the scope, delving into the aftermath of a failed attempt to rebuild society.

The zombies are still on the prowl in 28 Years Later, a long-awaited sequel to 2002’s 28 Days Later and 2007’s 28 Weeks Later. In the first trailer for the film, directed by Danny Boyle, a group of survivors come up against those rage virus-infected zombies, as well as some strange fellow humans.

The unsettling trailer is set to a Taylor Holmes recording of Rudyard Kipling’s war poem Boots, and it showcases Aaron Taylor-Johnson wielding a bow and arrow as he leaves his island settlement. Later, the clip appears to...

22 years ago, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland helped to kickstart a zombie movie renaissance with "28 Days Later," a movie that isn't technically a zombie film but, rather, a pandemic film. And sadly, 22 years later, that subgenre is bloodily ripe for the exploitin'.

On June 20, 2025, "28 Years Later" will pick up 18 years (in our own timeline) after the rage virus bedlam of Juan Carlos Fresndillo's 2007 sequel "28 Weeks Later." Lest you think this is some small affair, know that 2024 Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy is reprising his role as the once comatose Jim for the film. He'll be joined by the immensely talented likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O'Connell, and Ralph Fiennes in the cast. As for the state of the world in "28 Years Later," per the premise the rage virus is once again spreading and, presumably, the aforementioned actors will be scrambling to keep from joining the ranks of the infected.

Lace up your running shoes and get ready to return to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s world of fleet-footed zombies because “28 Years Later” has its first official trailer.

The third installment in the “28 Days Later” franchise sees Boyle and Garland return to their respective roles in the franchise as director and writer, having served as executive producers on Juan Carlos Fersnadillo’s 2007 sequel “28 Weeks Later.”

The film is led by franchise newcomers Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, who are seen throughout the creepy trailer fighting off zombies. Though original movie star Cillian Murphy had been reported to be reprising his role as Jim in addition to being an executive producer, he appears absent from the trailer and is not listed as a cast member in the promotional material. However, the new trailer features a particularly jarring clip of a zombie that some on social...

28 Days Later director (Danny Boyle) and writer (Alex Garland) have re-teamed up for a series of sequels to the 2002 horror hit, and following yesterday's poster, the first teaser for the first film in the planned trilogy, 28 Years Later, has been released online.

The promo is only a few seconds long, but does contain some nightmarish imagery, including one quick shot of a rather freaky-looking scarecrow (something tells us it's made from more than just straw) with an arrow in its head. Also, the morse code repeats the word "Tuesday," indicating that a full trailer will be with us early next week.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes have signed on to play the lead roles, and it's also been confirmed that Cillian Murphy will return as the original movie's protagonist, Jim.

"Yes, but in a surprising way and in a way that grows, let me put it that way,...

Nearly two decades after the last installment, the first look at 28 Years Later raises more questions than answers — one being, “Does anyone know morse code?”

Sony debuted the first poster and teaser for the zombie sequel on Friday, ahead of the Alex Garland-written, Danny Boyle-directed film’s June 20, 2025 premiere, featuring a morse code message over a series of cryptic images.

According to one comment, the message spells “Tuesday,” which hopefully means a longer sneak peek to come this week.

The 13-second promo includes flashes of red skulls, the biohazard symbol, a bird’s-eye view of an island and a scarecrow with an arrow through its head.

The 28 Years Later poster features more of the red skulls in the shape of the biohazard symbol, billing stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes at the top. “Time didn’t heal anything,” reads the tagline.

Fiennes previously detailed the upcoming installment,...

28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to the zombie classics 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, shared its brief and cryptic first teaser Saturday.

The 13-second clip was uploaded on the film’s official social accounts without any other details. During the teaser, brief images of red skulls, mutilated (zombie?) corpses, and a mysterious island are shown, while Morse Code spells out the word “Tuesday,” suggesting a longer look at the sequel is forthcoming.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the island shown in the teaser has been identified as...

Sos! Zombies are back! The Rage virus has return! Alert, alert. Sony Pictures has revealed a surprised secret teaser for the upcoming 28 Years Later horror sequel - arriving in theaters June 2025 next summer. It's once again being directed by Danny Boyle, who directed the original 28 Days Later (from 2002), a horror classic featuring fast zombies that still remains a favorite amongst zombie fans. Its sequel 28 Weeks Later (from 2007) was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and was only exec produced by Boyle at the time. This next one also features Alex Garland returning to co-write the screenplay with Boyle. And I'm guessing it's going to be an angry sequel because the tagline is "time didn't heal anything." Oh damn. It was shot back-to-back with its sequel 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta, which doesn't have a release date yet. This teaser is actually just...

The highly anticipated and long-awaited 3rd film in the 28 Days Later series debuts next summer.

Opening in cinemas on June 20, 2025 is 28 Years Later and Sony Pictures has dropped the first poster for the film starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell. The film is directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland.

Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later were box office successes. Danny Boyle’s 2002 sleeper hit grossed $64,232,714 worldwide. It starred Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns, and Brendan Gleeson. The “Rage Virus” origin story made Bravo’s 100th spot on their list of ‘The 100 Scariest Movie Moments’ in a four-episode 2004 television series.

Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s follow-up took in $65,048,725 globally. Twenty eight weeks after a virus has wiped out all human life in the UK, the island is declared safe, and people start to move back, only to be attacked...

After deciding to skip Ccxp this weekend, Sony Pictures has released the first poster for 28 Years Later (via FearHQ.com). With any luck, this means a trailer isn't far behind.

The movie picks up after the events of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's 28 Weeks Later.

We don't learn much here, though it's a fitting piece of imagery for the franchise which confirms that Civil War and Ex Machina director Alex Garland returned to write the script after previously penning Boyle's 28 Days Later and Sunshine.

The poster also includes an ominous new tagline: "Time Didn't Heal Anything."

Official plot details for 28 Years Later have been kept under wraps. However, it's no secret that Boyle is returning to direct this opening chapter before handing over the reins to Nia DaCosta (Candyman) for the second instalment of a planned trilogy.

The impressive cast also includes Jodie Comer,...

28 Years Later is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alex Garland. It is a sequel to 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), and the third installment overall in the 28 Days Later film series. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with BFI, DNA Films, and Decibel Films, it marks the return of Boyle and Garland as director and writer after only acting as executive producers on the second film. Cillian Murphy reprises his role from 28 Days Later, starring alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer,...

Production wrapped earlier this summer on Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that intends to launch a brand new trilogy. Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the planned 28 Years trilogy, with Garland writing the first movie and Boyle back in the director’s chair to bring the horror to the screen.

On that note, an article over on Wired this week reveals that 28 Years Later was at least partially filmed with “a bunch of adapted iPhone 15s,” specifically the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Wired details in their insightful report on the production, “…the Hollywood thriller, with its budget of $75 million, [is] the biggest movie to date filmed with smartphones.”

28 Years Later is the Biggest Hollywood Feature Shot on an iPhone - Main Image

Despite Hollywood's most advanced technology, experimenting with equipment and storytelling has never stopped. Now, a new report says that Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later starring Cillian Murphy was only filmed through the lens of an iPhone 15 model.

Danny Boyle's Long-Awaited 28 Years Later was Shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max

The 2002 genre-bending 28 Days Later and 2007's 28 Weeks Later had been initially rumored to kickstart a new trilogy.

Hence, 28 Years Later will have Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy reprise his titular role as Jim, marking the beginning of a highly anticipated trilogy.

Considering the milestone of on-screen zombie portrayals that went after the franchise, the first of the threequel is going to do things a bit differently.

According to a report from Wired, 28 Years Later, which is due to premiere on the big screens in June 2025, was filmed...

Danny Boyle is reprising the grungy, digital style of 2002’s 28 Days Later with his upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later. With iPhones…

Depending on your interest in visual aesthtics and depending on how long it’s been since you last saw 2002’s 28 Days Later, you may have forgotten just how grungy Danny Boyle’s zombie horror flick looks. That was all intentional, of course; the movie was shot by cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle using a a Canon Xl-1, a relatively inexpensive ‘prosumer’ camcorder, recording onto MiniDV.

It gave the film a noisy, unvarnished look, perfect for a film about the catastrophic fall of civilisation. According to Wired, Boyle has elected to go down a similar route for his forthcoming sequel, 28 Years Later. The outlet reports that the film was shot on iPhone 15s, with the devices being slightly modified to allow for the attachment of full-frame Dslr lenses.

After all, fear is subjective and there’s a lot of less-than-great scary films out there, which is why we felt this list was a pretty important one.

If you feel like you’ve exhausted the libraries of other streaming services, Disney+ has a surprisingly wide range of horror films in its catalogue, and we’ve picked some excellent suggestions for you. We’ve got ghosts, cannibals, mutants, zombies and the occasional so-bad-it’s-actually-good film here. Enjoy!

28 Weeks Later

While it may not reach the highs of its predecessor,...

The sequel to 28 Years Later begins production today as producer Andrew Macdonald and writer Alex Garland talked about what will hopefully be a trilogy and their enduring partnership during an on-stage talk at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (Eiff) on Sunday, August 18.

“The first one [in the trilogy] is 28 Years Later, Alex has written them both [28 Years Later and its sequel], Danny directed [28 Years Later and] has finished shooting,” said Macdonald, who is also chair of Eiff. “We’re just about to start tomorrow morning [August 19] part two, directed by Nia DaCosta, and we hope there is going to be a third part.

Filmmaker Alex Garland was joined by his longtime collaborator and producer Andrew Macdonald in Edinburgh to ponder their career-spanning relationship, favorite projects and upcoming 28 Days zombie trilogy.

The duo, who have teamed up on titles such as The Beach (2000), 28 Days Later (2002), Ex Machina (2014) and most recently, Civil War (2024), spoke at an Edinburgh International Film Festival event on Sunday to a jam-packed room of industry professionals (who were hanging on to every word).

Garland and Macdonald discussed how they came to work together, as well as a few rows they’ve had over the years. Garland, who began his career as a novelist with The Beach before pivoting into screenwriting and, eventually, directing, admitted that while he doesn’t particularly enjoy directing, there is one film — his debut directorial feature — that he considers his top pick from an impressive résumé.

“I never wanted to be a director,” Garland says,...

I’ve been obsessed with apocalyptic fiction since I was a small boy, but young Luiz was always frustrated with the disproportionate amount of media that takes place months or even years after the end of the world instead of showing us the apocalypse as it happens. It was only years later that I understood the logistical difficulties in telling a believable yarn about a near-instant societal collapse, though I never stopped wishing for more stories that take place in the moments between our current world and whatever wasteland comes next.

Thankfully, there are a few brave filmmakers willing to take on the challenge of depicting the early days of humanity’s downfall. And with Michael Sarnoski’s A Quiet Place: Day One (which is now available on Digital outlets at home) proving that audiences are still hungry for this specific kind of apocalyptic thrill, we’ve decided to come...

It’s not all Marvel and animated fairytales. Here’s our pick of the best films you can watch now on Disney Plus UK:

The output of Marvel, Lucasfilm and the Mouse House’s own library of films and TV shows are Disney Plus’s big selling point. But the streaming service also features a large collection of other films that have nothing to do with its major franchises – many of them movies Disney now owns after acquiring other Hollywood studios.

With this in mind, here’s our list of the best films on Disney Plus that aren’t Iron Man, Star Wars, Frozen or anything of that ilk. Encompassing just about every genre, there’s sure to be something to suit your taste if you’re struggling to decide what to watch this evening.

We’ll also keep this list updated as titles shuffle off and new ones are added.

With 28 Years Later having wrapped production, we look at what the sequel’s story might potentially look like.

Nb: The following contains spoilers for 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, plus potential plot details for 28 Years Later.

Given just how influential and financially successful it was, it’s a little surprising that 2002’s 28 Days Later hasn’t spawned more sequels. Instead, the past 22 years have seen the release of just one follow-up: 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, a film even more dark and despairing than its predecessor.

Things are about to change, however, with the 2025 release of 28 Years Later. It’ll see director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland reunite for a belated sequel, which as its title suggests will take place almost three decades after the outbreak of the Rage virus that swept across the UK in the original film.

Nor is it the only sequel on the way; Candyman...

Danny Boyle has finished shooting his horror follow-up, 28 Years Later, while Nia DaCosta prepares to start filming another sequel next month.

28 Years Later has wrapped production in London, capping a shoot that began towards the end of May. Everybody involved will be getting a wee summer break before reuniting to shoot the next film in the planned trilogy, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will also be filmed in London.

Well, not quite everybody. 28 Years Later's director, Danny Boyle is passing the torch to Candyman helmer Nia DaCosta for the second film in the planned trilogy and the fourth film in the overall series. As yet, we also don’t know if the lead cast of 28 Years Later will be returning for the follow-up, that being Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Charlie Hunman. Hopefully it stays that way too as knowing the actors are all set to...

Shooting continues on 28 Years Later, the first instalment of a planned trilogy picking up after the events of Danny Boyle's classic 28 Days Later and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's slightly less well-received 28 Weeks Later.

Now, thanks to Mail Online (via FearHQ.com), we have a first look at Free Guy star Jodie Cormer being chased down by a group of blood-soaked, naked zombies. The undead look terrifying and perhaps a little more grounded than what we've seen in The Walking Dead and Army of the Dead, for example.

As for their lack of clothes, that does make sense when you stop and think about it.

While plot details for 28 Years Later are being kept under wraps, we know that Boyle will return to direct this opening chapter before handing over the reins to Nia DaCosta (Candyman) for a planned second instalment.

The impressive cast also includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson,...

28 Weeks Later

Six months after the rage virus depleted Great Britain’s population, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to return to resume a post-apocalyptic life. After a carrier of the highly infectious pathogen gets brought in for testing, however, the virus takes...
