The much anticipated third entry in the critically renowned horror series, 28 Years Later, will finally bring the 28 Days Later franchise back to life after almost thirty years of conjecture. Alongside franchise newbie Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Cillian Murphy will play the legendary character of Jim once more in a tale that looks to be just as intensely dramatic and horrifying as its predecessors. 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle, will examine a world even more devastated by the fury virus and delve further into the human condition amid the breakdown of society. Danny Boyle directed the ground-breaking original in 2002.

28 Years Later will pick up nearly three decades after the events of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The world, now completely overrun by the rage-infected, has plunged into an even darker age. Governments have fallen, and small, scattered groups of survivors struggle to stay alive in isolated pockets. The rage virus, once thought to be contained, has evolved into something more dangerous and unpredictable.

Cillian Murphy’s Jim, who narrowly survived the events of the first film, has been living off the grid, trying to distance himself from the horrors of the past. Now much older, more hardened, and carrying the weight of years of loss, Jim is forced to face the nightmare once again when a new, terrifying threat emerges. Aaron Taylor-Johnson joins the cast as Sam, a fearless but troubled young survivor who crosses paths with Jim. Together, they will navigate a world where trust is scarce, and the line between humanity and madness has blurred even further.
