28 Years Later Rises From the Grave With a New Trailer

Danny Boyle’s long-awaited 28 Years Later finally has a new trailer, four months after its record-breaking first. Have a look, below:

So, a picturesque island retreat inhabited by the last-living pocket of humanity as they defend themselves against the endless ranks of an increasingly desperate zombie horde? While the original film essentially served as a European speedrun of George Romero’s first Living Dead trilogy (with some Night of the Triffids in there, for spice), its appears 28 Years Later is taking a few pages from Romero’s unpopular second wave of zombie films, which I’m honestly very here for. The entire conceit of a green island hideaway is tremendously evocative of Survival of the Dead‘s Plum Island, while the images of posh-looking victims (honestly, bangs? In the apocalypse?) having their faces pressed against glass doors seems to be a direct homage to Land of the Dead‘s assault on its own moat-protected safe haven, Fiddler’s Green.

Though we’re still uncertain where 28 Years Later‘s story will take us, exactly, it at least begins with a father-son zombie hunting mentorship and culminates in a siege battle against the infected. Somewhere along the way, our heroes explore the mainland and find a pillar of human skulls (that simultaneously shot sequel from Nia DaCosta is called The Bone Temple, incidentally), a psychotic preacher with ideations of doomsday, a world-weary Ralph Fiennes not wearing a shirt, and a newborn baby (likely Jodie Comer’s…) in an abandoned train car. Can’t wait to see what the popcorn bucket looks like!

28 Years Later stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, Edvin Ryding, Chi Lewis-Parry, and Emma Laird. It’s currently scheduled for a June 28 theatrical release in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
