28 Years Later director Danny Boyle reveals unexpected 'nightmare' of filming NAKED zombie scenes for the horror movie starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes


Director Danny Boyle has admitted that it was a 'nightmare' filming naked zombie scenes for the highly acclaimed movie 28 Years Later.

The first-ever movie of the series, 28 Days Later, followed Jim (Cillian Murphy), who awakes from a coma to discover Britain has been plagued by a terrible pandemic known as the Rage Virus, which turns those affected into murderous zombies. 'And flashes of Arthurian fantasias and wartime newsreel footage (as well as a pointed double cameo for the now-felled Sycamore Gap tree_ serve as regularly nudges in the ribs as he and Boyle ty with the notion of a 21st century British national myth.' While The Independent's Clarisse Loughley wrote: 'Even if 28 Years Later feels like being repeatedly bonked on the head by the metaphor hammer, Boyle's still a largely compelling filmmaker, and the film separates itself from the first instalment by offering something distinctly more sentimental and mythic than before.'
