Danny Boyle and Nia DaCosta captivated the audience during CinemaCon’s opening night with intriguing previews of the highly anticipated films, 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Boyle took the stage, engaging the crowd at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum with humorous anecdotes about his experiences in the post-apocalyptic genre. “I still love blowing things up,” he quipped, connecting with the attendees, before unveiling an exciting, exclusive trailer for the upcoming film that left everyone eager for more.

Here’s a detailed insight into what was showcased in the trailer:

“The scene begins with a squad of military personnel cautiously exploring a room, their headlamps illuminating the darkness, when they are suddenly ambushed by a horde of zombies. The infected are rampant, except for a sanctuary on an island where the uninfected reside. The tension escalates as they venture to the mainland, which becomes the battleground for intense action. The visuals reveal chilling mountains of skulls, vibrant fields of yellow flowers, and swarms of infected individuals, all set to the haunting backdrop of ‘Boots’ playing in the distance.”

Boyle expressed his hopes for a third film to emerge from this promising trilogy, although he noted that it would depend on the audience’s reception of the first two installments. Following his presentation, DaCosta took the spotlight to provide a sneak peek into the sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. She hinted at a unique and distinct narrative approach, stating, “The script for the Bone Temple diverges significantly from what you might expect.” The audience was treated to a glimpse of Ralph Fiennes in an incredibly unconventional role, showcasing a maniacal grin that highlighted his character’s eccentricity. DaCosta remarked, “You’ve witnessed Ralph Fiennes in various roles, but this portrayal is unlike anything you’ve seen from him before.”
