The Plot of ‘28 Years Later’ Has Been Revealed

Ralph Fiennes has revealed the first two parts of the 28 Years Later trilogy have been filmed.

The 61-year-old actor stars as a doctor in the upcoming zombie-apocalypse movie – which itself is a sequel to Danny Boyle’s 2002 flick 28 Days Later and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s 28 Weeks Later in 2007 — and now Fiennes has shared the first two flicks have already completed production.

Speaking with IndieWire, he said: “It’s three films, of which two have been shot.”

The ‘Harry Potter’ star detailed the plot of the next movie, which sees director/writer duo Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return to the series after sitting out 28 Weeks Later.

Fiennes said: “Britain is 28 years into this terrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid humans with a few pockets of uninfected communities. And it centers on a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother … He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English terrain. But of course, around them hiding in forests and hills and woods are the infected. But he finds a doctor who is a man we might think is going to be weird and odd, but actually is a force for good.”

As well as Boyle and Garland, 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy is confirmed to be returning for the upcoming flick in a “surprise” appearance and will not be part of the main cast.

28 Years Later, which is slated for release in June 2025, will also feature Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jack O’Connell, though details about the trio’s characters are being kept under wraps.

The following sequel, which is titled 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, is due to be helmed by Candyman director Nia DaCosta with Garland and Boyle writing the script.
