Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams Unleash the Infected at ’28 Years Later’ Premiere as Danny Boyle Celebrates Nine-Film Relationship With Sony’s Tom Rothman


Danny Boyle and the cast and crew of his horror sequel '28 Years Later' hit the red carpet for the world premiere in London.

The cast and crew of Danny Boyle ‘s horror sequel — including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and 14-year-old newcomer Alfie Williams — hit a carpet littered with biohazard signs and, at least in one section, several skulls. The film — releasing via Sony Pictures on Friday — arrives almost a quarter-century following the iconic and genre-redefining original “28 Days Later.” Set nearly three decades after the super-contagious rage virus escaped from a biological weapons factory and ravaged the U.K., the new movie sees the Isles now a quarantine zone: a desolate wasteland isolated from the rest of virus-free Europe and where the infected roam free and survivors are simply left to fend for themselves. Comer, sporting a shimmering metallic silver gown, told Variety about a special connection she discovered shortly after first meeting Williams, with both of them having had their early careers impacted with the help of “Adolescence” star and co-writer Stephen Graham.
