In 2002, movie-lovers everywhere were enraptured with 28 Days Later, a unique and terrifying film by audience and critical favorite Danny Boyle. With Boyle in the role of producer, he handpicked Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (Intacto) to helm this next chapter, out in theaters on May 11.
28 Weeks Later, the follow-up to the terrifically successful 28 Weeks Later, picks up six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles. The army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin… but they could not be more wrong. As the first wave of refugees return and a family is reunited, a terrible secret is revealed: The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever. Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Idris Elba, and Harold Perrineau lead the talented cast which also includes newcomers Mackintosh Muggleton and Imogen Poots. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directs, while Danny Boyle, director of the first film, is an executive producer.
