Danny Boyle, known for his iconic film '28 Days Later,' has long contemplated the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Despite missing out on the sequel '28 Weeks Later,' Boyle's inspiration for a follow-up emerged during a 20th anniversary screening of the original film in 2022. Audience enthusiasm led him and screenwriter Alex Garland to develop '28 Years Later,' set 28 years post-apocalypse. The new film introduces a small island community and explores new mutations of the Rage Virus, marking a noteworthy return to the zombie genre.
Boyle noted how seeing the audience react in a packed theater ignited the realization of an ongoing appetite for a continuation of the zombie saga.
The critical moment came when Boyle attended a 20th anniversary screening of '28 Days Later,' where he felt the audience's energy and appreciation for the film.
