So here we are—twenty-two years after 28 Days Later exploded onto our screens, and guess who’s back? None other than Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, reuniting like the cosmic forces of Mars charging into fiery action—perfect timing for a reboot that’s as intense as Mars in retrograde stirring up some serious chaos. 28 Years Later isn’t just a sequel; it’s the dawn of a brand-new trilogy, starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Alfie Williams as survivors navigating a UK swamped by the infected — talk about a family drama with a bite. And just like the unpredictable twists of Mercury, Danny Boyle’s innovative use of iPhone Pro cameras (yep, you read that right!) redefines the horror aesthetic, while Garland’s vision explores societal collapse—not your usual popcorn flick fare. With rave reviews lighting the way and a sequel already queued up for January, this saga’s got its claws in us good. Curious how a film about undead chaos could mirror the cosmic push and pull we’re all feeling? Buckle up. LEARN MORE

This week marks one of the biggest recent events in horror movie history. After twenty-two years, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland make their return to the world they established in their horror hit, 28 Days Later, with the first in a proposed trilogy, 28 Years Later. The movie stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams as a family of survivors in the UK who have come of age in a world overrun by the infected. It co-stars Ralph Fiennes, and has already earned excellent reviews, which is good news as a sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, is due in theaters in January. 

To mark the film’s release, we were fortunate enough to sit down with Comer, Taylor-Johnson and Williams to discuss playing the movie’s core family unit, with them giving their two cents on why this genre is so enduringly popular. We also got to pick director Danny Boyle’s brain on the new way he shot the movie, with him using iPhone Pro models to achieve a look comparable to the digital photography of the original, yet on a grand scale (with him using a 2:76:1 aspect ratio). Plus, Alex Garland reveals how imagining a society’s regression is what drew him back into the franchise, with both him and Boyle having famously sat out the first sequel, 28 Weeks Later.
