Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle, the visionary filmmaker behind the iconic 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire was in Dublin this week and we got the chance to talk to the visionary film-maker about his return to the post-apocalyptic world that redefined zombie cinema with his highly anticipated new film, 28 Years Later—the next chapter in the groundbreaking franchise that began over two decades ago.
In this in-depth conversation, Danny Boyle opens up about reuniting with acclaimed writer Alex Garland and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, and how they’ve infused 28 Years Later with a powerful blend of horror, emotion, and humanity. Boyle discusses the evolution of the Rage virus, the challenges of balancing visceral scares with genuine heart, and what it means to revisit a quarantined Britain nearly three decades after the original outbreak. He also teases the already-shot sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and shares insights into the trilogy’s ambitious future with the return of Irish actor Cillian Murphy.
