Overview

  • ‘28 Years Later’ opens on June 20 with a narrative of isolation and societal regression that Boyle says mirrors post-Brexit Britain.
  • The director shot the film on iPhones in 4K, using stitched imagery to introduce new horror elements like zombie “alpha” males and infected offspring.
  • Advance ticket sales forecast a robust opening weekend for the sequel co-written by Boyle and Alex Garland.
  • Boyle stated he will not direct another James Bond film, lamenting that his John Hodge-written script for the 25th entry went unused.
  • Amazon MGM Studios has taken over the Bond franchise’s production, ending over 60 years of Broccoli family control.
