Eh-oh!
Watch: 28 Years Later – official trailer (Sony Pictures)
28 Years Later has revealed its first trailer as an early Christmas present to horror fans everywhere.
The much-awaited sequel reunites director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland for a terrifying new story set, you guessed it, 28 years after the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons factory.
In a ruthlessly-enforced quarantine, humanity has found a way to exist among the infected including a group of survivors living on a small island. When one of them leaves on a mission, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors.
Watch the first trailer for 28 Years Later above.
We knew the trailer was coming this week after a teaser landed on Saturday (December 7) which featured morse code that spelled out “Tuesday”.
28 Years Later is the start of a brand-new trilogy, with Candyman‘s Nia DaCosta directing the second entry from a script by Garland and Boyle.
The movie stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer and Jack O’Connell, among others. It’s unclear which of the cast will survive 28 Years Later to appear in the sequel, although it’s said O’Connell will be a main character of the sequel.
Filming for both films took place back-to-back, so the second new entry in the series hopefully won’t be too far behind 28 Years Later‘s June 2025 release.
After much speculation, it has been confirmed that Cillian Murphy will be back as original character Jim, in “a surprising way and in a way that grows” according to Sony boss Tom Rothman.
