"28 Years Later" Set to Revive Zombie Apocalypse

Remember the eerie world of "28 Days Later" and its terrifying sequel "28 Weeks Later"? Well, get ready to dive back into the apocalyptic madness because "28 Years Later" is officially in the works! Sony Pictures has slated the long-awaited project for June 20, 2025.

While the details about the new instalment are still under wraps, here's what we know so far:

• Plot: While plot details are still under wraps, we can expect this instalment to pick up the story nearly three decades after the original outbreak. The virus that turned the world into a nightmare might have evolved, and we're likely to see how humanity has adapted (or failed to adapt) to the relentless terror. Speculations are rife that this sequel will explore new dimensions of fear, possibly delving into the long-term societal impact and the struggle for survival in a world forever changed.
  

• Cast: One of the most exciting pieces of news is that original director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are rumored to be returning. Their collaboration on "28 Days Later" gave us a raw and gritty vision of a zombie-infested world, so having them back on board is a huge win for fans. There's no word yet on whether we'll see familiar faces like Cillian Murphy or Naomie Harris, but we do know Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes have been added to its cast.

• Expectations: If the previous films are anything to go by, "28 Years Later" will deliver intense scares, heart-pounding action, and a storyline that keeps us on the edge of our seats. The long gap between the films leaves plenty of room for new horrors and creative storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the franchise or a newcomer, this movie promises to be a thrilling addition to the zombie genre.
