As a seasoned gamer and horror enthusiast who has survived countless virtual nights in abandoned buildings and haunted forests, the announcement of the digital release of “28 Days Later” feels like a breath of fresh air. After spending years searching for that elusive DVD copy to add to my collection, I can finally revisit the post-apocalyptic world of Britain without the risk of scratches or fingerprints ruining the experience.

In the upcoming movie titled “28 Years Later”, you’ll find the return of Boyle and Garland once more. This fresh sequel is scheduled to premiere in theaters on June 20, 2025.

Instead of the usual studio that’s been behind the past movies, this time around it’s a collaboration between Columbia Pictures, British Film Institute, Decibel Films, and DNA Films. Mark your calendars for June 20, 2025, as that’s when we’ll all get to see this groundbreaking film, which was even filmed using an iPhone! And guess what? The sequel, “28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple,” was also shot on the same device. Can’t wait!

I recently got a sneak peek at the upcoming movie’s trailer, and let me tell you, it gave me a tantalizing taste of the film’s enchanting ambiance and a quick tour of the intriguing Bone Temple!

28 Years Later features Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson portraying Jamie, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Jim. Erin Kellyman and Edvin Ryding are part of the ensemble, with Ryding taking on the character of E. Sundqvist.

The full plot is still a secret, but the synopsis reveals the following:

In the time following the incidents depicted in the film “28 Weeks Later“, it appears that the deadly Rage Virus has resurfaced. A band of survivors now finds themselves battling through a world overrun by swarms of the infected.

Come August 2024, I found myself deeply engrossed in the exciting news that Nia DaCosta was initiating talks to steer the second installment of the freshly minted “28 Days Later” trilogy. By May, this thrilling prospect had become a reality as she officially joined the project. The cameras started rolling on August 19, 2024, for “28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple,” with filming for the first movie simultaneously underway. What an incredible journey it’s going to be!
