28 YEARS LATER trailer
The long-awaited zombie apocalypse sequel 28 YEARS LATER has finally unveiled its first trailer, with an intriguing connection to Cillian Murphy’s original character from 28 DAYS LATER. While Murphy serves as an executive producer, his role appears to be primarily behind the scenes, with a potential cameo as a zombie version of his character Jim.
The trailer has sparked excitement among fans by seemingly featuring a zombified Jim, the bike courier Murphy portrayed in the 2002 original film. Despite Murphy’s Oscar-winning status and lack of prominent billing on promotional materials, his potential zombie appearance has become a focal point of speculation.
The film, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, is set nearly three decades after the initial outbreak of the “Rage Virus”. The cast includes Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, who are shown battling zombies in the trailer’s first glimpse.
Though Murphy did not appear in the 2007 sequel 28 WEEKS LATER, his involvement as an executive producer suggests a continued connection to the franchise. His potential zombie cameo adds an unexpected layer of intrigue to the upcoming film, which is poised to continue the story of a world devastated by a biological weapons laboratory disaster.
28 YEARS LATER promises to be a significant addition to the zombie genre, with Murphy’s subtle involvement adding an extra layer of anticipation for fans of the original film.
