Sony’s New ‘Bone Temple’ Featurette Teases Evolving Rage Virus and the Rise of the Jimmies

The footage underscores Nia DaCosta’s distinct approach ahead of the January 16 theatrical release.

Overview

  • Sony released an international featurette with new footage for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
  • The promo centers on Dr. Kelson’s experiments and frames the Jimmies, led by Jimmy Crystal, as a primary human threat.
  • Danny Boyle confirms the Rage Virus continues to evolve and serves as a core driver of the sequel’s story.
  • Nia DaCosta highlights a deliberate tonal split between Kelson’s warm, serene world and the Jimmies’ cold urban spaces, with Samson returning in an expanded role.
