Movie 28 Years Later | $7,377,961
According to Cinemadrame News Agency, 28 Years Later is the highly anticipated third installment in the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic horror franchise that began with 28 Days Later (2002) and continued with 28 Weeks Later (2007). Returning the original creative team of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, this film aims to expand upon the terrifying world ravaged by the “Rage” virus.
Distributor and Producers: The film is being distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The production team features a powerful reunion of the original creators, with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland serving as producers, alongside Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernie Bellew. This strong creative oversight suggests a return to the series’ roots.
Plot and Storyline: While specific plot details for 28 Years Later are largely under wraps, the film will continue the terrifying narrative set in a post-apocalyptic Britain, where a highly contagious and aggressive “Rage” virus has devastated society. The previous films explored the immediate aftermath and the fragile attempts at rebuilding. This new installment is expected to pick up the story decades later, potentially introducing new threats, evolving aspects of the infected, and exploring how humanity has adapted—or failed to adapt—to this changed world.
Main Cast:
- Jodie Comer
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson
- Ralph Fiennes While not officially confirmed for a starring role, Cillian Murphy, who led the first film 28 Days Later, is involved as an executive producer, leading to speculation about his potential return in some capacity.
Technical Crew:

Critical Reception: As of July 2025, 28 Years Later has not yet been released, so there is no critical reception available. However, given the strong critical acclaim and cult following of 28 Days Later (which revitalized the zombie genre and was praised for its intensity and social commentary) and the generally positive reception for 28 Weeks Later, expectations for this new chapter are very high among fans and critics alike.
Awards and Accolades: Since the film has not yet premiered, 28 Years Later has not received any awards or accolades to date. Nevertheless, with the return of its original visionary creators and a talented new cast, it is highly anticipated that the film could garner significant attention during the awards season once it hits theaters.
