After 28 years, the first pictures from the shoot show Jodie Comer escaping from a zombie costume.
A series of images from the 28-year-old set show the hair-raising chase: Jodie Comer, best known for her role in Free Guy, runs at full speed as she is chased down by hordes of bloodied zombies. The sequel to this horror classic promises to raise the tension to new extremes.
Zombie beauty reinvented
The remake, 28 years later, which opens the door to a planned trilogy, features a more raw and visual approach compared to its predecessors and other popular adaptations such as The Walking Dead or Army of the Dead. The decision to represent zombies without clothing is not only a dead detail, but also a response to the post-apocalyptic logic evident in the film.
The film not only stars Comer, but also big names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell. Additionally, Cillian Murphy is expected to not only executive produce but also make at least one cameo.
Danny Boyle took over again
Danny Boyle, who gave us the first 28 Days Later, returns to direct this first season and passes the baton to Nia DaCosta for the next installment. The guide promises to preserve the essence of what made this saga a benchmark in horror cinema.
Cillian Murphy has spoken of his excitement at returning to this universe, admitting that it has changed his career, saying, “I only watch my movies. “They always play on Halloween and when the epidemic happened, they were constantly sending me clips.” Murphy also shared how he introduced the film to his children and how satisfied he is to see that his work is still relevant more than two decades later.
High expectations for the expected return
“I’m excited to get started,” Comer said before filming began. “Danny is a confident and insightful director. The original was a hit, so I try not to think too much about it. “I don’t set high expectations.”
After 28 years, the new images not only preview the tone and atmosphere of the film, but also reaffirm that the return of this franchise is one of the most anticipated in the world of horror films. For a closer look at these composite photos, follow the Mail Online link on the X post below.
A saga that redefines the horror genre
The franchise began with 28 Days Later directed by Danny Boyle. The film introduces a fascinating and terrifying vision of the zombie apocalypse brought on by the “Fury” virus. The protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma to find London deserted, and along with a group of survivors, they fight to find a safe haven while realizing the grim reality of the world collapsing.
28 Weeks Later, a series directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo upped the ante by depicting an attempt to bring Britain’s population under international control. However, asymptomatic carriers of the virus cause new outbreaks, leading to greater and more devastating chaos. The narrative focuses on a family struggling to reunite as London descends into horror and despair.
Both films have been praised for their raw and realistic approach to the zombie genre, for the emotional intensity of their characters and the grim post-apocalyptic scene they present. 28 years later, he promises to continue this trajectory with a dark and profound look at the world affected by the virus.
