These iconic horror films from the 2000s will soon be back
If you like zombie films and were old enough to see it when it was released in 2002, you couldn't have missed the extremely famous 28 days later. Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) with Alex Garland (Civil War) to the screenplay, this post-apocalyptic film then told the story of a young inhabitant of London (played by Cillian Murphy) who woke up from a coma in a hospital in the British capital. Very quickly, he realized that he was all alone in the building… and in the city. An introduction that we could find a few years later in The Walking Deadmaking these two productions true references of the genre.
After a first sequel released in 2007 (28 weeks later), the saga finally stopped there for more than 15 years, but it will soon resurface thanks to a new trilogy of films. Baptized 28 years laterthe first film of this new project will be made again by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland and will serve well afterwards. For the moment, no details have been confirmed regarding the storyline or the release date, but 28 Years Later is already one of the most anticipated films by fans of the originals. Good news for them: the casting is finally starting to reveal itself, and it’s exciting.
A dream casting in perspective
In addition to its atmosphere and its scenario, if there is one thing that made the first film successful, it was its casting. Enter Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean), Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter) and Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), suffice to say that the spectators were very spoiled. This time again, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland do not intend to skimp on resources since the main trio is set to be played by none other than Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes.
If you have been to the cinema recently, you have certainly been able to discover Jodie Comer thanks to his roles in Free Guy (alongside Ryan Reynolds), Star Wars Episode IX or The Last Duel by Ridley Scott. Lately, she has also shone on the small screen thanks to her role in the series Killing Eve. Aaron Taylor-Johnsonfor his part, introduced himself to the general public thanks to his role in Kick-Ass in 2010 before joining the MCU, finally ending up in Tenet, The King's Man and even Bullet Train. From Wednesday you will also be able to see it in The Fall Guy alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Finally, Ralph Fiennes is one of the most prestigious British actors in the country. He notably had a good career in the theater but also played in the excellent Sky Fallwithout of course mentioning some other absolutely legendary feature films like Schindler's List, The Grand Budapest Hotel or the saga Harry Potter in which he played Voldemort.
You would have understood it, 28 Years Later already has some serious arguments in its favor to attract the expectations of a good number of spectators. Unfortunately, however, you will have to be patient since no release date has yet been revealed. In the meantime, you can still rewatch the two original films by renting them or purchasing a DVD/Blu-Ray version.
