After a long wait, the 28 Days Later franchise is gearing up for its newest chapter, 28 Years Later, with a mix of new faces and seasoned talents. Among these is Jodie Comer, who, in a conversation with Total Film, offered insights into the ties between the original film and its much-anticipated sequel. Working under the direction of Danny Boyle, who returns to the helm, Comer finds herself inspired by his confident and innovative approach, reminiscent of the compelling narrative and emotional depth that marked the 2002 breakout film.

“Having met Danny, he’s incredibly sure and confident and innovative. As an actor to be on a set with someone like that who’s leading the charge is so exciting. I remember seeing 28 Days Later and I was so struck with how it was so rooted in reality, and it was more about the exploration of us as a species and our behavior and how we react.”

“It felt like there was a lot of emotional truth within the film that really anchored it. That’s also what I felt when I read this script.”

Comer’s reflection on the original 28 Days Later shows how the film was profoundly grounded in a stark reality, delving deep into human behavior and reactions under duress. This continuity is what she finds echoed in the sequel’s script, promising a narrative just as emotionally meaningful as the first. The actress, known for her roles in Killing Eve and films like The Last Duel and The End We Start From.

Joining Comer is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his roles in Kraven the Hunter and Kick-Ass, who brings his own dynamic presence to the project. The ensemble is further bolstered by the likes of Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell, setting the stage for a film rich in talent and potential narrative complexity.

28 Years Later Is Full of Surprises

A particularly exciting development for fans is the return of Cillian Murphy, whose career was propelled by his role in the original film. His involvement in 28 Years Later was hinted at by executive producer Tom Rothman, who promised a role that is both surprising and expansive, saying,

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

It has been seventeen years since 28 Weeks Later ended on a cliffhanger, and news of a third movie has finally been made, but why did it take so long?

Similarly, Alex Garland, who is set to write the script for the 28 Years Later trilogy, cited a surprising source of influence for the film series. During a recent interview, he said:

“In the film scripts I delivered to Danny [Boyle], what I did was ripped off this film called Kes. Very unexpected thing to rip off in a zombie movie . I think the script I delivered and Kes both focused around the experience of a young lad to the extent it’s tonal. Those are the most obvious ways, but there are some slightly more subtle things to do with landscape as well. And sort of, humans and nature.”

28 Years Later
is set to premiere on June 20, 2025.
