28 Years Later Director Recalls 'Nightmare' of Shooting Naked Zombie Scenes amid Intimacy Coordinator's Notes (Exclusive)

Danny Boyle, the director of '28 Years Later,' tells PEOPLE about the guidelines he received from the film's intimacy coordinator that made shooting the post-apocalyptic thriller a 'nightmare.'

However, with the now 14-year-old Alfie Williams playing the key role of Spike, the son of Aaron Taylor-Johnson ’s character Jamie, fully naked people were not allowed on the film’s set under the Child Sex Offenses Act, Boyle said he learned. Back in 2003, Boyle teamed up with screenwriter Alex Garland to produce the first film in the zombie thriller franchise, which starred Cillian Murphy. Boyle and Garland took more of a backseat role as producers in the second installment of the series, 28 Weeks Later, but in January, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the duo would be returning for what would mark the start of an entirely new trilogy.
