The world holds its breath: Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated film “28 Years Later”. Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland return to the grim and unforgiving world of the franchise, where the rage virus still dictates its rules. The release date is set — June 20, 2025 — and it promises to be an event you won’t want to miss.

The story takes place 28 years after the events of “28 Weeks Later”. The world has changed, but the rage virus remains. The remnants of humanity are forced to survive under strict quarantine conditions. Yet, amidst this chaos, there are those who have adapted to life alongside the infected. One group of survivors has settled on a small island connected to the mainland by a single protected bridge. Everything changes, however, when one member of the community ventures to the mainland to complete a dangerous mission. There, he encounters terrifying secrets, mutated infected, and survivors who, over the years, have become far more ruthless.

The film boasts an impressive cast. The leading roles are played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes. Additionally, young stars Erin Kellyman and Jack O’Connell join the project. But the main question on fans' minds is: Will Cillian Murphy, the star of the original “28 Days Later”, return? While he is listed as an executive producer, he doesn’t appear in the trailer. However, fans are already speculating: could the zombie at the 1:47 mark actually be his character, Jim, who has fallen victim to the virus? We’ll only get the answer in theaters.

Another sensation: the film was shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Yes, this is no joke. Cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle chose a smartphone to achieve a unique visual style. This bold decision only heightens interest in the project, promising us an entirely new perspective on the post-apocalypse.

The “28 Days Later” franchise has long become a cult classic thanks to its unique approach to the zombie-horror genre. Here, the infected aren’t slow-moving undead but fast and ruthless killing machines. Combined with deep stories about survival and humanity, the films in this series have always left viewers on the edge of their seats.

“28 Years Later” promises not only to expand the boundaries of the familiar world but also to introduce something new. Mutated infected, the evolution of human cruelty, and moral choices in the face of survival are just some of the themes the film aims to explore.

If you think zombie movies can no longer surprise you, “28 Years Later” is ready to prove you wrong. In a world where technology and art merge to create new experiences, this film might become more than just another survival story — it could be a true cultural phenomenon.

Mark the date: June 20, 2025. Get ready for an epic return to a world where fear and hope go hand in hand.
