Sony Sets Summer 2025 Release For Danny Boyle’s ’28 Years Later’

'28 Years Later' Gets Summer 2025 Theatrical Release
deadline.com deadline.com

Mark your calendar for June 20, 2025 as that's when the next installment in Danny Boyle's 28 franchise hits theaters, 28 Years Later.

Boyle returns to direct off a screenplay by Alex Garland. Boyle and Garland are also producing, as is original producer Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice. Bernie Bellew is also producing. Cillian Murphy is also returning as an executive producer.

As Deadline reported, the pic is a sequel to 2002's 28 Days Later and stars Jack O'Connell, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes also star in the pic, which is part of a planned trilogy.

Sequel's storyline is under wraps. The original 28 Days Later, directed by Boyle, written by Garland and released in 2002, centered on a bicycle courier (played by Murphy) who wakes from a coma to discover the world had been overrun with zombies following the outbreak of a virus. The pic grossed more than $82 million at the global B.O. and led to the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, on which Boyle and Garland served solely as EPs and minted over $65M WW.

Deadline's Justin Kroll also broke the news that Sony has tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to direct the second part of the trilogy, and that the plan is to shoot both films back to back.

The only other wide entry on June 20 next year is an untitled New Line event movie.

The opening of 28 weeks later was so good and yet it was one of the most disappointing sequels. I hope this one lands better for me, I will be there for it.

How is that even going to work? Rage zombies just like... starve after they murder everything around them, right? That's how England was cleared in 28 weeks (originally).

Fuck yeah. Would love to see Boyle and Garland return to hard sci-fi with a proper follow up to Sunshine too. They would kill it.

The final installment mention is now changed to the "next" one, with the planned trilogy brought up later. False alarm on that, I guess!

Curious where they go with this. Can't say there has been many movies about zombies covering a timeframe that far after the outbreak.

Didn't that film end with the infected running to Paris? I guess they've spent years spreading around the world from there. Maybe Europe is infected and it's spreading to Asia or America?
