28 Years Later Director Claims Bosses Were 'Worried' About This Surprising Part Of The Film

Alfie Williams, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes in 28 Years LaterIf you were surprised at just how much of an emotional rollercoaster 28 Years Later took you on, filmmaker Danny Boyle has claimed that was on purpose.A recent piece in The Independent pointed out that, despite being marketed as a dystopian horror, the Oscar-winning director’s new film is more than likely to have you crying into your popcorn, too.Speaking about the specific way the film has been promoted, Danny said: “Obviously, the core audience is a horror audience, and they’re concerned if too many reviews call it a weepy [it might put people off].”He then pointed out: “But the first film was actually very moving, too!”.“They’re just a bit worried [about selling it on that],” he claimed.Danny Boyle at the 28 Years Later premiere earlier this month28 Years Later features an impressive cast including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and newcomer Alfie Williams, who plays teenager Spike.The movie arrived in cinemas last week, and has already proved to be a hit both with critics and at the box office.While promoting 28 Years Later, Danny has lifted the lid on a variety of different aspects of its creation, including the truth behind the “Alphas” and their nudity, the reason that so much of the action was filmed using iPhone cameras and the real meaning behind that shocking ending.Danny has also claimed that he wanted the sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later to form the first part of a new trilogy, the second instalment of which has already been shot, and is slated for release in January 2026.The next film in the series, titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, was filmed simultaneously with 28 Years Later, with Nia DaCosta on directing duties – and a certain familiar face (and Academy Award winner) also set to make a return to the franchise.MORE FILM NEWS:28 Years Later Director Explains Why New Film Reverses Major Plot Point From Previous SequelRachel Zegler Reveals How She Really Feels About 'Alarming' Snow White DramaPublic Service Announcement: Saltburn Is Free To Stream For The Next Month
