"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."
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.
