The unlikeliest horror franchise of the century is now on the brink of unleash its fourth movie on unsuspecting moviegoers — and, sure, a bone temple is as soon as once more concerned. After taking simply over twenty years to reach following Danny Boyle’s authentic “28 Days Later” (in addition to the 2007 sequel “28 Weeks Later,” when you’re into that), “28 Years Later” proved there was loads of cause left to return to the zombie-ridden shores of the UK. As an alternative of Cillian Murphy’s bicycle courier Jim, nonetheless, we ended up following the very completely different circumstances surrounding Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s patriarch Jamie, his terminally-ill spouse Isla (Jodie Comer), and their younger son Spike (Alfie Williams). And fairly than inform a simple story centered on killing senseless monsters contaminated with the craze virus, returning director Boyle and author Alex Garland turned this legacy sequel right into a surprisingly emotional (however no much less scary) entry all about ruminating on our mortality.
By the tip, the totally satisfying and self-contained “28 Years Later” had most of us viewers exterior the UK united by just a few urgent questions: What the heck is up with that tracksuit-wearing and backflipping gang of outlaws, why aren’t we extra conscious of Jimmy Savile’s infamous status, and have we seen the final of that creepy Bone Temple and its uncommon guardian? Ralph Fiennes’ nearly Colonel Kurtz-like loner Dr. Kelson proved to be the largest shock of “28 Years Later,” primarily by way of his obsession with constructing that morbid monument to these misplaced alongside the way in which. (Based on the movie’s press notes, Kelson’s “temple” was impressed by real-world creations such because the Nationwide Covid Memorial Wall memorializing the victims in London and the Hill of Crosses pilgrimage web site in Lithuania.) However how will these storylines intersect within the subsequent film?
These solutions could lastly arrive with “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.” The follow-up movie has an thrilling director, Nia DaCosta, and can presumably choose up the place the earlier film left off, with younger Spike surrounded by O’Connell’s tracksuit-wearing Jimmy and his gang of Savile-inspired ruffians. However apart from that jarring sequel tease and the ominous subtitle, we have recognized awfully little about the place the story will take us subsequent … till now. Sony Photos has simply launched the primary trailer for the upcoming blockbuster, which you’ll be able to try above.
