‘28 Days Later’ Finally Available Digitally After Years of Absence

The 2002 zombie classic returns for digital rental and purchase as excitement builds for its sequel, '28 Years Later,' set for release in 2025.

Sony Pictures has made '28 Days Later' available for digital rental and purchase starting December 18, 2024, after years of unavailability due to complex rights issues.
The film's re-release coincides with the viral success of the '28 Years Later' trailer, which amassed 60.2 million views within 24 hours, making it the second most-watched horror trailer of all time.
'28 Days Later,' directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, is credited with revolutionizing the zombie genre by introducing fast-moving infected and innovative digital cinematography.
The upcoming sequel, '28 Years Later,' set for release on June 20, 2025, features a new cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, with Boyle and Garland reuniting for the project.
Fans speculate on connections between the original and the sequel, including rumors about Cillian Murphy's involvement, though he is confirmed as an executive producer rather than a cast member.
