Chilling Trailer for Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER
Sony Pictures has released the first full trailer for Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, and it’s quite chilling. The footage features plenty of people trying to avoid Rage infected locals, but the creepiest part of the trailer is a poem that is being read.
That poem amplifies the intensity and chaos in the trailer and it serves as a way to represent how much things have deteriorated on the British Isles since the events of the last film. The trailer gave me chills!
The synopsis reads: “‘Time didn't heal anything.’ Sometime after the events of 28 Weeks Later, the Rage Virus has returned, and a group of survivors must survive in a world ravaged by hordes of the infected.
“Shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with the aide of numerous specialised attachments. Cillian Murphy returns as Jim, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O'Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Ralph Fiennes.”
This is the first of two movies in the 28 Years Later trilogy, both have already been filmed. Boyle directed the first installment, while Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) directed the second.
During a previous interview, actor Ralph Fiennes shared details on the story, saying: “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 centers 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.”
Cillian Murphy reprises his role in 28 Years Later as Jim, a former bicycle courier who previously woke from a coma to find the ‘Rage Virus’ has decimated London. He also serves as an executive producer.
Alex Garland (28 Days Later) wrote 28 Years Later, and it’s set to be unleashed in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony.
