Production and direction
Directed by Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later reunited him with writer Alex Garland, marking their first collaboration since Sunshine (2007).
Cillian Murphy is also an executive producer in addition to Boyle. The movie was shot consecutively, with Nia DaCosta's sequel, 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple.
The screenplay for the movie was penned by Alex Garland, whose writing delved deeper into the societal and psychological impacts of the Rage Virus, exploring how different characters adapt to the ongoing crisis.
Is that really Cillian Murphy in the trailer?
When a zombie emerged from bushes in the trailer, many online speculated that it might be Cillian Murphy's character Jim from 28 Days Later. Fans have been reacting to this speculation. However, this is not the case, as it has been confirmed by The Guardian that actor Angus Neill plays the zombie, not Murphy.
