Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland revitalized the zombie horror with 28 Days Later, which made over 10 times its modest budget and kickstarted Cillian Murphy’s career. It sparked a sequel, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, but other than a few comic book additions, that appeared to be the end of the scrappy British franchise.
In January, however, Boyle, Garland, and Murphy announced a third installment, 28 Years Later. Now in post-production, it will see Murphy reprise his role alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes. There’s no doubt 28 Years Later is going to be bigger than its predecessors, but its production is copying one surprisingly lo-fi technique from the original film.
