WITH 28 days later reviving the franchise after nearly two decades, Ralph Fiennes prepares fans to return to the zombie apocalypse.

“It’s three movies, two of which have been made,” Fiennes said IndieWire.

Fiennes explained the plot: “For 28 years, Britain has been going through this horrible plague of infected people who are violent, rabid people with a few pockets of uninfected communities. In the center is a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother. He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English countryside. But, of course, the infected are hiding around them in the woods, hills and forests. But he finds a doctor who is a person that we might think of as weird and strange, but she’s actually a force for good.”

For the next contribution titled 28 Years Later, Part II: The Bone Temple, Nia DaCosta was direction in negotiations earlier this year based on Garland’s script.

After the main role in 28 days later (2002) and served a 2007 sequel 28 weeks later, Cillian Murphy repeats his role in 28 years later as Jim, a former bicycle courier who wakes up from an earlier coma to find that a “rabies virus” has destroyed London. He is also an executive producer.

The upcoming sequel also features Fiennes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman and Edwin Riding.
