Sony Pictures had dropped a new trailer for 28 Years Later, the upcoming horror movie starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes. “Time didn’t heal anything,” is the tagline for the Sony Pictures movie, which premieres on June 20 and serves as the first part of a 28 Years Later trilogy

The long-awaited zombie apocalypse sequel directed by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland appears to be worth the wait, as evidenced by the first trailer. The trailer shows a brief, but bloody, run through of what happened 10,228 days earlier, as a zombie infestation overruns an unsuspecting U.K.

“Days became weeks” and then “weeks became years” as we zero in on a remote island of survivors who have seemingly regressed to a more simple society, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson wielding a bow and arrow in a post-apocalyptic world accompanied by a Taylor Holmes recording of Rudyard Kipling’s war poem ‘Boots’.

The film would be releasing more than two decades after 28 Days Later, the new movie appears to feature Cillian Murphy‘s Jim in zombie form, looming over Jodie Comer‘s character, after apparently being infected with the “Rage Virus.” The Oscar winner’s name is not included on the promotional posters, meaning Murphy is unlikely to be a major part of the sequel, though he does serve as an executive producer. Murphy did not feature in the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later.

Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, 28 Years Later debuts in theaters on June 20, 2025. The film’s executive producer is Cillian Murphy. It’s produced by Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, Bernard Bellew, Danny Boyle, Alex Garland.
