Plot Details for 28 Years Later

Ralph Fiennes has released some details about the plot for the upcoming sequel, which will be part of a new trilogy.

Britain is 28 years into this terrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid humans with a few pockets of uninfected communities. And it centres on a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother.

He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English terrain. But of course, around them hiding in forests and hills and woods are the infected. But he finds a doctor who is a man we might think is going to be weird and odd, but actually is a force for good.

28 Years Later Finishes Filming

Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later has just finished its filming in London and is on course for it's release on June 20th 2025 barring any setbacks. 

The movie will feature Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Charlie Hunman with Cillian Murphy returning in a surprising way as confirmed by Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman.

When asked whether Murphy is definitely returning, Rothman said: "Yes, but in a surprising way and in a way that grows, let me put it that way."

Plots details are still unknown but I am sure more details will be revealed soon.

Next month, Nia DaCosta will start filming the sequel to the new planned trilogy of movies, titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

28 Years Later Details Emerge

In recent months, details have slowly emerged about upcoming zombie movie 28 Years Later, much to the delight of fans of the franchise. 

Directed by Danny Boyle and penned by returning writer Alex Garland, the movie stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Jack O’Connell in lead roles. 

On Friday it got announced a release date has been penned in for June 20th, 2025.

The news was officially announced by Sony Pictures as they added the film to their domestic calendar for the upcoming year. 

It is still unclear which studio will handle its international release though. 

This isn't unfamiliar territory for the series, as 28 Weeks was released by 20th Century Fox in the UK and Fox Atomic in the US

Cillian Murphy, known for his role as Jim in 28 Days Later, is serving as a producer for the upcoming film, but it's uncertain if he will reprise his role. 

For those unfamiliar with the character, Murphy's Jim was a bicycle courier who fell into a coma just before the outbreak of a contagious rage virus that originated from an infected chimpanzee.

Regarding future installments, there are reports that Nia DaCosta, known for The Marvels and Candyman, is in discussions to direct the second of the planned trilogy.
