The new sequel to the monumental zombie film ‘28 Days Later’, which is returning after 18 years, ‘28 Years Later’, has released seven press stills vividly depicting the world 28 years after the spread of the virus ahead of its June release.

The released stills follow Spike(Alfie Williams), a boy who has gone outside the island for the first time since birth, and face the unfamiliar world occupied by the infected head-on.The sight of Spike(Alfie Williams)running through the grass with his father Jamie(Aaron Johnson)creates a breathtaking tension by informing us of the unimaginable threat of the virus that has mutated over the years and the infected who have evolved even more terribly.In particular, from the naked appearance of the infected who have never been seen before to the bizarre scene where they are found hanging upside down in the ruins, the unpredictable development stimulates the curiosity of potential viewers.In addition, the scene where Spike and Jamie discover something through a crack in the door on a dark night adds to the genre’s fun and immersion.

Among these, the mysterious atmosphere is heightened by the presence of unidentified figures Dr.Kelson(Ralph Fiennes)and Spike’s mother Isla(Jodie Comer).Dr.Kelson, standing alone in the middle of a mysterious place where skulls are piled up like a tower, exudes a strong presence with his dark red skin and meaningful eyes, arousing curiosity.Isla(Jodie Comer)also has both hands clasped to her body and seems to be staring somewhere with an anxious gaze, making one curious about what they are looking at and what kind of story will unfold next, making it impossible to take one’s eyes off of her for even a moment.

The sequel to the legendary film ‘28 Days Later’, which is considered the ‘bible of zombie films’, ‘28 Years Later’ is heralding another sensation with an expanded story.It contains the story of Spike, a boy born on ‘Holy Island’ where some survivors live in strict isolation after the world was consumed by a virus that started 28 years ago, and the extreme fear he experiences as he leaves the island for the first time in his life and sets foot on the mainland consumed by the virus and encounters evolved infected people.Danny Boyle, director of ‘28 Days Later’, is back to direct and Alex Garland is participating in the screenplay, raising expectations that he will revive his unique style and carry on the identity.
