In '28 Years Later', Britain is transformed by a bloodborne disease known as the Rage Virus, where a few uninfected communities exist but they're surrounded by danger. The trilogy centers around a young boy seeking a doctor for his dying mother, revealing the beautiful yet perilous English landscape. Amid the chaos, the doctor, portrayed by Fiennes, emerges as an unexpected beacon of hope, contrasting the surrounding horror of the infection. This narrative shift could explore deeper emotional themes amidst the zombie apocalypse.
Fiennes highlighted that the storyline for the trilogy is tightly wound around human experiences and emotions, particularly focusing on the bond between a mother and son in the face of unprecedented horror. As the boy journeys to find help, we see that the journey itself is fraught with danger but also filled with moments that showcase human resilience and goodness, which might surprise viewers given the genre's usual tropes.
The first two films of the '28 Years Later' trilogy have already been shot, suggesting a swift production turnaround. With Danny Boyle directing and Nia DaCosta helming the sequel, fans are keen to see how the series evolves. The narrative may delve deeper into character development and emotional stakes rather than just relying on action sequences, as suggested by Fiennes, which could redefine expectations for zombie films.
