Director Danny Boyle's upcoming horror flick 28 Years Later has officially wrapped production, reported Screen Daily. The film, directed by Boyle and scripted by Alex Garland, will be a follow-up to 2002’s 28 Days Later and 2007’s 28 Weeks Later. Boyle and Garland are reuniting for 28 Years Later after 17 years.
Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, and Erin Kellyman in the lead roles, the film is set to hit theatres on June 20, 2025.
Although the plot of the upcoming film is under wraps, the original 28 Days Later in 2002 centered on a bicycle courier (played by Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to discover the world had been overrun with zombies following the outbreak of a virus. The film was a massive box office success, leading to a standalone 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, on which Boyle and Garland served solely as executive producers.
28 Years Later is the first in a planned trilogy of sequels. Candyman director Nia DiCosta is all set to helm the second instalment in this franchise, which is planned to shoot back-to-back with the first film.
Apart from helming the film, Boyle and Garland are also producing 28 Years Later, along with the original producer Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice. The Oppenheimer actor is also returning as an executive producer.
