In 2002 Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting director Danny Boyle teamed up with Ex Machina and Civil War director Alex Garland for the zombie flick 28 Days Later. With Boyle directing and Garland writing the two brought a different take to the undead genre with Cillian Murphy with the breakout lead to the chaotic film. While they weren’t involved in the 2007 sequel the duo reteamed for the third film 28 Years Later that promised a potential trilogy with the second chapter 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple starring Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry.

 

The team sat out for the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later and despite the talks seemed like the franchise had come to an end. To great surprise, Boyle and Garland have reteamed finally for the third entry into the series 28 Years Later starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, Jack O’Connell, and Erin Kellyman.

 

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple follows Dr. Kelson who finds himself in a shocking new relationship - with consequences that could change the world as they know it - and Spike's encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can't escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival - the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
