Black Carpet Rolled Out as Hollywood Comes to Newcastle for 28 Years Later
HOLY ISLAND, ENGLAND, JUN 18 – The sequel explores survivors adapting to a quarantined UK nearly 30 years post-outbreak, featuring new infected variants and setting up a planned trilogy, director Danny Boyle said.
- A black carpet event premiered the zombie movie 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle, in Newcastle on Thursday evening.
- The film follows 12-year-old Spike and his parents living on Holy Island nearly 30 years after a viral outbreak devastated mainland UK, continuing the story from 28 Days Later.
- Boyle and Garland avoided CGI and green screen, using extensive makeup to depict evolved infected and a feudal island society reflecting political stagnation.
- Boyle explained Covid intensified terror by showing how people "start to take more risks" to test safety limits, making the film's themes feel "more possible."
- 28 Years Later will screen in cinemas from Friday as the first of a planned trilogy exploring social and political challenges through horror.
