"Only Danny Boyle is brave enough to make bold swings like that": 28 Years Later star teases new horror movie, as he compares "experimental" shoot to "technical" Nosferatu's

Alfie Williams as Spike and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Jamie in 28 Years Later.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is no stranger to horror movies, having filmed Robert Egger's gothic vampire flick Nosferatu right before he sunk his teeth into Danny Boyle's zombie sequel 28 Years Later. Despite the shared genre, though, the two shoots couldn't have been more different, says the Marvel star.

"That's the joy of what we get to do as actors. We get to work with different directors and that's the excitement, because they vary, you know?" Taylor-Johnson tells GamesRadar+ ahead of the release of 28 Years Later. "We as an audience want to see those different visionary directors, right? Danny is a lot more loose in the way that he works, when you talk about technicality, than Eggers and that was really refreshing on this set. We were shooting with iPhones and they'd created different rigs with 20 iPhones on it. So every day was new. It was experimental and exciting. It was bold filmmaking, and it allowed for this creative space to experiment."
