To celebrate the release of the anticipated sequel, 28 Years Later, we had the pleasure of sitting down with some of the cast to find out more about Danny Boyle’s zombie apocalypse follow-up.
Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new “auteur horror” story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
Chatting to Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams, who play father and son Jamie and Spike, we talk about the original’s impact, how they bonded on and off screen to bring their father/son dynamic to life, the coming-of-age aspects of the new film, working with Danny Boyle and iPhones, accent training with Jodie Comer, acting lessons with Ralph Fiennes and much more inbetween.

28 Years Later opens in UK cinemas on June 19th.
