Upcoming Zombie Blockbuster Features Prominent Celebrity Cast After Near Three Decades

Hitting Hard with "28 Years Later"

Here's the down-and-dirty on the highly anticipated zombie flick, "28 Years Later". Three big names have lined up to join the cast: Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes. Details on the characters they'll be playing are under wraps, but die-hard fans can't contain their excitement over the A-list additions.

While Deadline spilled the beans on the casting, the movie's storyline remains a secret. It's a departure from the initial films, which featured relative unknowns. There's a buzz that Cillian Murphy might make a comeback too.

Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are taking this trilogy seriously, viewing it as a multi-phased exploration of the post-apocalyptic world. Up-and-coming director Nia DaCosta is in the lineup to helm the second installment. Garland shared with io9 recently that the project's size and scope necessitated more than one film. He hinted at the possibility of a proper trilogy, but only if audiences embrace the series.

Intrigued? Here's the lowdown on the confirmed cast:

• Jodie Comer plays Isla, a survivor in the post-apocalyptic world.
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes' roles are largely shrouded in mystery for now.
• Jack O'Connell is on board as Sir Jimmy Crystal, described as a cult leader.
• Erin Kellyman, Edvin Ryding, and Alfie Williams have roles yet to be specified.
• Angus Neill has been cast as the 'Emaciated Man' who's succumbed to the Rage Virus.

Rumors abound that Cillian Murphy could play a role in a sequel titled "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple", although he won't be making an appearance in "28 Years Later".
