The Original Version Of 28 Years Later Was A Completely Different Movie – And In A Different Language

23 years after they revolutionized the horror genre by modifying undead for regular, fast -moving people who had infected the rage in the virus “28 days later”, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland returned to the Zombie world that they created “28 years later” – – – – – – – – – The movie that Stephen King liked but was not afraid of.

Two filmmakers have changed a lot over two decades after their (not a) zombie movie, which does a “28 years later” without trying to do the same thing again. As /Film’s own Chris Evangelin described it in his review, the film is “a kind of sensual blend of overloading violence, mixed media and often bracing soundtrack with feverish effect.” In fact, according to his reviews, “28 years later” manages to be both scary and touching, Impressive, effective and memorable horror run.

“28 years later,” We will meet Spike (Alfie Williams) and his father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) almost 30 years after Raivo’s virus fled from the Bio-Laboratory and trotted the British continent, the rest of the world. The Father-Son Duo lives on a small island that is only connected to the continent on a narrow road that disappears with low tide. Of course, one of them decides to go to the mainland and quickly find the world’s landing world and virus that has mutated beyond their imagination.

In the years before “28 years later”, many ideas were made about where the third film in the series could be. One of them, Alex Garland admits, could have been a disaster – a completely different film in a completely different language.

“28 weeks later” was published in 2007 without Boyle or Garland participated in the script, and fans began to hope that the duo would check more stories in this universe. At some point, Garland began presenting potential ideas with new film ideas set in the universe of the “28 -day” universe, even taking into account the tasks of writing to something else. It was only after the Covid-19 that Garland began to think about writing the script himself for the third movie.

Talking Roller stoneGarland tells one of the early ideas he had for another movie. The concept was to follow the group of military commands that violate quarantine and reach a laboratory where rabies were originally created – to find a repentance. Except when they reached the laboratory, the commands found another group that had already got there first and tried to set the virus. It was meant to be a movie with “shooting and mass attacks and large, action-adventure-type series”. The first group that tried to improve the virus was a special forces, and the film was supposed to be completely in the mandarin and subtitles.

“It was completely and completely generic,” Garland said with a laugh and said that Danny Boyle effectively mocked her thought before helping and trying to get the story to work. “Finally, both of us gave up it. But strangely, something so common writing was an element releasing for all our problems. It gave us permission to get a completely empty slate.”

The idea of ​​making a zombie movie set in a UK, where heroes are Chinese soldiers who try to make a cure for a zombie virus sounds like an interesting idea. First of all, it feels like a great blow in the face of anti-Asian anger, born in the early days of Covid-19, and the idea of ​​a film written by Alex Garland and possibly a great director, all in the mandarin, has a cool thought test.

Still, it’s easy to see how a sequel to a horror movie, which is a big action movie with a lot of soldiers, would be quite boring and derivative, because it was that “foreigners” already 40 years ago. Instead, we get the film is undoubtedly the best case for a sequel, which will be released more than 20 years after the original. “28 years later” is a fantastic ideas and “28 days later the world” showing wild concepts to a zombie genre, sometimes even even reminds the secret adaptation of a horror story. Here, those who have been infected, after so many years, have continued to develop, and it seems that they have even started to set up communities that is shocking and also one of the best zombie movie ideas over the years.

But even the main story, albeit simple (and at least one way to resemble “28 weeks later”), also hides a rather emotional story about accepting death in front of the absolute hell. It is a movie about how we face our inevitable death and how knowledge transforms some people into violent madness, others to calm acceptance. There is no zombie movie just like “28 years later,” and it is because Garland took time and decided not to go with her first instinct.
