    Can’t wait for this. I mean Boyle and Garland! I’m worried my expectations are too high for these new instalments! Could take a few watches before I take to them… (me trying to lower my own expectations)

    I thought the trailer was good, and love the Holy Island initial setting.

    Is it just me or do some of those 'people', specifically in the first bit with the soldiers, seem uninfected?

    I read some stuff , not sure where and get the impression there’s gonna be some sort of difference, like maybe some mutated versions of the infected. Also seems like they are ignoring 28 weeks and keeping it in UK but not sure if that’s the case or maybe they will expand out in the sequel

    One of the older comics from 28DL (watched on YouTube) showed Selena having to go back to UK and it was being patrolled by gunships stopping anything going in or out, wonder if they will use some of those ideas.

    The clip with the priest was weird. I mean unless he can somehow control the infected he’s prob just nuts. I originally thought from first trailer it might have been the church that Jim walks into when he just wakes up but it’s obviously not.

    That looks brilliant. So excited to see this.

    It looks good but it feels like a totally different film to the 28 days/weeks later or maybe I'm wrong and need to watch them again. I know it's obviously going to be very different because it's so long after the initial outbreak.

    That song/poem thing is so scary, addictive and mesmerising!

    this is looking like hot ****, haven’t been to the cinema in ages but will make the exception for this. It’s going to be an interesting what angle they take on it or route they go.

    It’s a pity they never got around to making 28 months later

    This is definitely on the list to see. It will be interesting to see what they do with it after 20+ years of zombie pop-culture saturation, kicked off to a large degree by the successful reboot of the genre of 28 Days. I didn't think a lot of 28 Weeks (although I might watch it again prior to this) but the return of Alex Garland in particular makes me excited for this.

    Just spotted a new trailer dropped last month. Only 3 weeks to wait, super excited.

    I watched it again recently. It doesn't age well.

    Aged badly how?

    The opening was amazing. Absolutely cacked myself in the cinema. Unfortunately, the rest of the film felt inferior to that.

    I haven't seen 28 Weeks. How important is that because 28 Years looks like it'll be great?

    Nearly 20 years, I doubt they'll be banking on people having watched it, although I'm sure there will be Easter eggs.

    Still worth the watching 28 weeks

    I don’t believe 28 weeks will be relevant , however watching it now may help lower your expectations for 28 years..

    Probably not important at all tbh but its worth a watch anyway. A very different beast to 28DL, must faster paced, more action oriented etc but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Going to rewatch both shortly in advance of 28YL.

    Thanks. I do want to watch it but I hate streaming services and Disney Plus is the only place I can find it. It was discussed a fair bit in my favourite podcast so while I've always been meaning to see it, I've just never got round to it.

    I'll drop a link in case anyone is curious:

    I'm curious as to the end result of this cinematography...

    28 Days Later was actually nearly 28 years ago.

    I'm just depressed now

    28 Days Later had a limited re-release in cinemas a few weeks ago. I went to see it on the big screen again (i saw it when it first came out). It was a really enjoyable rewatch in a cinema - it really shows how much better that medium is regardless of how good your home set up is.

    Ah yeah for sure, even the most average of cinema experiences is still head and shoulders over the absolute best home setup. Visually and emotionally it can just hit you in a way that home viewing can't.

    out June 19/20, 2025, will have to go to small cinema after bad experience with Odean.

    Really don't get the idea that this virus wouldn't have spread world wide…

    Assume it's something along the lines of:

    Beside the infected turn so fast it's difficult to escape to another country before turning so in a way it's easier to contain.

    But would like to see how they contained the outbreak in Paris since the outbreak in London got out of control so quickly.

    Can’t remember where I read it but think the are gonna ignore 28 weeks. No harm as it really was a poorish sequel. I enjoyed it for what it was, but there was way too much stupid sh*t in it.

    They could have Robert Carlyle waking up from “a bad dream” and being mauled immediately, would totally work…..

    watching some promo Danny Boyle hinted at something about the evolution of the virus that made this sound like

    Last of Us/mushrooms or In the Earth… then some of the other reviews suggest more Planet of the Apes elements.

    Brian Lloyd only gave it 3 out of 5 on Ireland AM this morning, despite being fairly complimentary of it in his review. Have rewatched both days and weeks (despite it not technically being Danny Boyle canon), so ready to hit the cinema!
