Ralph Fiennes shares first plot details for 28 Years Later trilogy

As a die-hard fan of post-apocalyptic films, I can barely contain my excitement for the upcoming trilogy, “28 Years Later.” Having grown up watching Danny Boyle’s masterpiece, “28 Days Later,” I was ecstatic when I heard about this follow-up. The fact that Ralph Fiennes has joined Cillian Murphy in this journey is just icing on the cake.


Ralph Fiennes shares some details about the development of his character, the “good doctor,” in the eagerly awaited 28 Years Later trilogy directed by Danny Boyle.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming sequel to the chilling 2002 horror game based on Boyle’s rage virus outbreak! This thrilling continuation is set to unfold in three captivating chapters. In this new installment, I’ll be joining forces once more with Cillian Murphy, who brilliantly reprises his role as the indomitable character Jim.

In the trilogy, the first movie is led by director Boyle. The second film, titled “28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple“, is managed by Nia DaCosta, who’s also known for “Candyman“. The entire series’ scripts were written by returning screenwriter Alex Garland, with Boyle overseeing the production of the trilogy as a whole.

However, he encounters a doctor who may seem peculiar or strange at first glance, but in reality, turns out to be a beneficial presence.
