Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new “auteur horror” story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. 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. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. The film stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.
This film is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for the following reasons: strong bloody violence, grisly images, graphic nudity, language and brief sexuality.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, Boyle said of Cillian Murphy and the now planned trilogy, with the next film slated to be 28 Year Later: The Bone Temple, helmed by Nia DaCosta:
It doesn’t take a genius to work out there’s going to be a big role for Cillian Murphy in it. Yeah, a significant role. All I can say, because I know the idea of the story, which has been mapped out, it is clever. It is a very smart use of him.
There is a very satisfying introduction of him in the second film, and when I saw it, the way [Nia had] done it, I was like, “Oh, yeah, that’s pretty good.” Because I’ve seen a rough cut of it. They’re doing a test of it in July. The whole Sony Corporation hasn’t turned its attention to that film yet.
I remember asking Nia DaCosta [about this new trilogy], “What do you think it’s about?” It won’t necessarily end up being about this because films change, but I said, “What do you think it’s about?” And she said, “Well, I think the first one is about the nature of family. The second one’s about the nature of evil. And the third one is about the nature of redemption.”
That’s our ambition. It is ambitious, and it’s going to be set in England, and there aren’t going to be American soldiers arriving to save it, because we know you’re not sending American soldiers anywhere anymore. It’s going to be a homeland-made and executed and completed, really. It’s a big story, but about these characters who are much as they were in the first film.
Cillian is playing the same character. He will be playing the same character. And, as you’ve seen, the characters are Jodie and Aaron and eventually Ralph in this film and Jack right at the very end.”
