Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor Johnson and Ralph Fiennes will star in "28 Years Later," the upcoming sequel to director Danny Boyle's zombie horror hit "28 Days Later."
The new film also marks the reunion of Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland, who are behind the original 2002 film, as well as the 2007 sequel "28 Weeks Later."
"28 Years Later" is the first in a planned trilogy of sequels. Earlier this month, Deadline reported that "Candyman" director Nia DiCost was in talks to direct the second film, which will be shot immediately after the first.
The plot of the new film is currently unknown, but its creators boast a budget of 75 million dollars, which is much more than "28 Days Later", which was made with XNUMX million dollars and then a relatively unknown Cillian Murphy in the main role.
Murphy played a courier who wakes up from a coma in post-apocalyptic Great Britain, which has been ravaged by a virus that turns victims into bloodthirsty attackers. Murphy will executive produce "28 Years Later."
"28 Days Later" became a surprise hit in theaters and received critical acclaim, and is largely credited with reviving the zombie horror genre.
