Overview

  • Sony unveiled the trailer and poster, reaffirming a January 16, 2026 exclusive theatrical opening.
  • The footage establishes two converging threads: Spike’s induction into Sir Jimmy Crystal’s cult and Dr. Kelson’s startling bond with the Alpha infected known as Samson.
  • Nia DaCosta directs from Alex Garland’s screenplay, with producers Danny Boyle, Garland, Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernard Bellew, and Cillian Murphy as executive producer.
  • Marketing and cast comments frame the film’s tone as deliberately off-kilter, stressing that survivors’ inhumanity may eclipse the infected as the central menace.
  • The Bone Temple was shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later as the second part of a planned trilogy, with Murphy reported to appear briefly and a larger role mapped for the third chapter.
