28 years later: Nia DaCosta's The Bone Temple already has a release date

Now that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have relaunched their horror franchise, things are moving fast!

“It's been nearly thirty years since the Fury Virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. While a very strict containment was put in place, some found a way to survive among those infected This is how a community of survivors took refuge on a small island only connected to the mainland by a road, placed under high protection. When one of the inhabitants of the island was sent on a mission to the mainland. he discovers that not only the infected have mutated, but others

At the end of October, before even discovering the very disturbing trailer of 28 years later, Ralph Fiennes said more on his new role within this saga still designed by Alex Garland to the scenario, Danny Boyle to the staging, and Cillian Murphy to the casting, as in 2002. After a sequel directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo in 2007, the saga had been on hiatus for almost 20 years, but today, it is preparing to come back in force.

“It will be three films, and we have already shot two, recently detailed the 61-year-old British actor. Britain has been plunged into this terrible epidemic for 28 years, with infected people becoming violent, bloodthirsty, and only a handful of non-infected people living in small communities. The film will follow a young boy, who seeks a doctor to help his dying mother. He thus takes his mother to the beautiful territories of the north of England. Of course, around them, infected are hiding in the forests and hills. But he manages to cross paths with a doctor, who one might find strange at first, but who will be a beneficial figure.”

28 years later, also worn by Jodie Comer And Aaron Taylor-Johnsonis scheduled for June 20, 2025 in theaters. Its second part, subtitled The Bone Templewas filmed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) and Sony has just revealed its American release date: January 16, 2026.

Offering two films from the same saga less than a year apart is quite rare in Hollywood: we saw this recently with another horrific saga, X, Pearl, Maxxxineby Ti West, but this remains an exception. Note that this date is not chosen at random: in mid-January, it is the weekend dedicated to Martin Luther King in the United States, and this holiday generally allows Americans to go to the cinema in large numbers .

Does this close exit mean that 28 years later will end on an unbearable cliffhanger for the spectators? We'll see that next June…

No, Cillian Murphy wasn't that zombie in the 28 Years Later trailer
