Danny Boyle just dropped a new teaser trailer for his zombie horror sequel 28 Years Later and fans are losing. Their. Shit.
Check out what the official synopsis for the sequel to 2002’s 28 Days Later says: “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected.
“One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.”
As mentioned, Danny Boyle is back to direct (after letting Juan Carlos Fresnadillo direct 2007’s 28 Weeks Later). 28 Years Later stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer. Alex Garland, the writer of the original, also makes a return.
Fans online are chirping up after watching the trailer: “Well, that looks terrifying!”.
“I can’t stress this enough.. This is one of the few movies that I’m really really excited to watch”.
“Terrifying zombies, suspenseful scenes, intense soundtracks, and a gripping storyline… This franchise is an absolute masterpiece.” Another added: “Is it too early to say that Danny Boyle is so back because of 28 years later? Maybe just great trailers but good lord… I hope its a feast.”
“We got some hidden messages in here.”
28 Years Later is in theatres on June 20, with a follow-up called The Bone Temple, directed by Nia Costa, coming in 2026.
