Danny Boyle’s long-awaited 28 Years Later is finally gaining steam, and three A-list stars just hopped on board. Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes are attached to star in the latest sequel in this acclaimed post-apocalyptic horror franchise.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but this film is being developed as the part of a trilogy, set in the same universe as 28 Days Later starring Cillian Murphy in his breakout role, which kicked off this franchise in 2002 and produced a sequel 28 Weeks Later.
Both films are set in the post-apocalyptic world where the release of a highly contagious virus has caused the breakdown of society and led to the emergence of zombie-like creatures.
Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later featured an impressive cast of actors who went on to become huge stars, ranging from Murphy, Naomie Harris, and Christopher Eccleston to Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Idris Elba, and the third film will continue this trend.
Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes are attached to this project, which hails from director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland. Sony Pictures is plotting 28 Years Later as a part of a trilogy, and they’ve already tapped Nia DaCosta to direct the next film in the franchise.
