Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later gets a new trailer

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the director and writer of 2002’s 28 Days Later, have reunited for 28 Years Later. There was, of course, 28 Weeks Later in 2007 but Boyle and Garland were just executive producers on that film.

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 Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding.

28 Years Later is scheduled to be released on 20th June 2025, by Sony Pictures Releasing.

A sequel, titled 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, was shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later; it is directed by Nia DaCosta, with Boyle and Garland returning as writers and producers and Cillian Murphy reprising his role.
