Character Posters For Danny Boyle's Zombie Horror Film 28 YEARS LATER — GeekTyrant

Geek Tyrant7 hours ago

Sony Pictures has released a collection of character posters for Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later . They feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes.
I'm very excited about this movie. I loved the first two that were made and I'm real;ly curious to see how this word has evolved after 28 yearss. I hope this movie succeeds so that we get to see the full trilogy and vision that Boyle and Alex Garland has planned.
The film's synopsis reads: 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.
'One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.'
This is the first of two movies in the 28 Years Later trilogy, both have already been filmed. Boyle directed the first installment, while Nia DaCosta ( Candyman, The Marvels ) directed the second, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple .
When previously talking about the film, Boyle said that the movie 'doesn't feel like a sequel. It feels like an original movie.'
'When you're doing a movie, you're looking for those images that will terrify people. There's a visceral element to cinema where you have a responsibility to push the envelope as far as you can go. I want that sense of suffocating intensity,'
Actor Ralph Fiennes also shared details on the story, saying: 'Britain is 28 years into this terrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid humans with a few pockets of uninfected communities.
'And it centers on a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother. He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English terrain. But of course, around them hiding in forests and hills and woods are the infected.
'But he finds a doctor who is a man we might think is going to be weird and odd, but actually is a force for good.'
Cillian Murphy will also reprise his role in the franchise as Jim, a former bicycle courier who previously woke from a coma to find the 'Rage Virus' has decimated London. But he will not appear in the first movie. He also serves as an executive producer.
28 Years Later hits theaters June 20th 2025.

'Day of the Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies at 86

LONDON (AP) — Frederick Forsyth, the author of 'The Day of the Jackal' and other bestselling thrillers, has died after a brief illness, his literary agent said Monday. He was 86. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said Forsyth died at home early Monday surrounded by his family. 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers,' Lloyd said. Forsyth served as a Royal Air Force pilot before becoming a foreign correspondent and a novelist. 'The Day of the Jackal,' published in 1971, propelled him into global fame. The political thriller about a professional assassin was made into a film in 1973 and more recently a television series starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. He wrote more than 25 books including 'The Afghan,' 'The Kill List,' and 'The Fist of God' that have sold over 75 million copies, Lloyd said.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Music Soars Following John Fogerty's Announcement

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits rises across Billboard's rock ... More rankings after John Fogerty reveals re-recorded album plans. Creedence Clearwater Revival CCR 1970 Doug Clifford Tom Fogerty Stu Cook John Fogerty in London, England (Photo by Chris Walter/WireImage) In late May, John Fogerty announced that he is planning to follow in Taylor Swift's footsteps — a move that many musicians may soon replicate — by re-recording older songs to benefit financially from the albums and tunes that helped launch his career. Later this summer, the celebrated songwriter and artist will release a new album titled Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, which will feature reimagined versions of many of that band's most successful smashes. The group doesn't need a reason to rise on the Billboard charts, but this exciting development may have been enough to push its music higher. Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, Creedence Clearwater Revival's hugely successful compilation, appears on three of Billboard's albums-focused rankings this week. It climbs on all of them simultaneously and returns to the top 10 on all but one. The set rises from No. 11 to No. 7 on the Top Rock Albums list, and at the same time, it experiences a similar surge on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally, leaping from No. 12 to No. 8. The project has previously peaked at No. 3 and has spent 436 weeks on both rosters throughout its lifetime. Chronicle only fails to crack the top 10 on the Billboard 200. While it remains one of the longest-running successes in the history of that competitive ranking — it's fast approaching 750 weeks — it has only risen as high as No. 18. According to Luminate, during the latest tracking frame, Creedence Clearwater Revival's hits-packed collection shifted 15,700 equivalent units. That's up 8% from the previous period, and that large of an uptick means something exciting connected to the music or the artist – like a new announcement – has taken place. Of that total, 2,200 units are actual sales. It's not unusual for Chronicle to appear on the Billboard charts or even to climb but the group doesn't always score a hit song. This week, Creedence Clearwater Revival's aptly-named revival is in full swing, and the outfit manages one of both. In addition to the album's gains, the rockers also score a hit on the streaming side of the business, as 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' returns to the Rock Streaming Songs tally at No. 25.
