28 Years Later trailer: Danny Boyle promises gut-wrenching horror, watch | Hollywood News
The trailer for Danny Boyle‘s 28 Years Later—the third installment in the 28 Days Later series, following 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later—is out, offering a glimpse into a post-apocalyptic world gripped the rage virus nearly three decades after its initial outbreak.
Written Alex Garland, the film is set on a remote island where survivors live under strict quarantine — but one survivor crosses the boundary and unearths a haunting truth. Jodie Comer leads the ensemble cast, which includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes. Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original 2002 film, returns as executive producer.
The trailer of 28 Years Later opens with scenes of a ravaged UK and depicts the chaos that unfolds as survivors navigate a landscape overrun the infected. Comer and Taylor-Johnson appear at the center of the action, fighting for survival amid relentless attacks. It closes with a haunting sequence inside a church, where the infected launch a brutal assault — teasing the film’s high-stakes intensity.

28 Years Later continues the legacy of the franchise that began with 28 Days Later, a genre-defining horror thriller that reimagined the zombie apocalypse through the lens of a viral outbreak. Its 2007 follow-up, 28 Weeks Later, expanded the scope of the story with a darker, more militarized tone and introduced new characters grappling with the aftermath of the outbreak. 28 Years Later promises to build on that legacy while exploring new ground — and new horrors — in a world still haunted the Rage virus.
Produced Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernard Bellew, 28 Years Later will be released in theatres on June 20.
