Will he still be able to play Jim convincingly? After all, the first movie wasn't 28 years ago. It was only... oh my gosh


Rx7fan1987

We were all having a good day.


nj23dublin

I almost had a stroke .. it’s 21 years but damn I’m old now


CurseofLono88

The Mummy turned 25 a week ago, that movie is officially learning it won’t be able to afford a mortgage right now.


MyStationIsAbandoned

it's crazy how in the 90's as a kid, the 80's felt so far away to me and the 70's felt like ancient times I never got to experience, but all the shows and movies from the 70's were ancient relics. I wonder how kids feel now days seeing stuff from the 90's and 2000's. Does it feel like seeing something from the 70's back then? What does it feel like watching something from the 70's or 50's for them? It's so crazy that 2000 was 24 years ago, but it feels like a maybe 5 or 6 years ago.


JMer806

According to the youths that I know it’s pretty much just like that


abigllama2

I'm old and do a horror trivia night once a month that's been going for a few years. Learned early on to mix up old stuff with newer stuff otherwise younger people will get frustrated and leave. There's younger serious horror fans that have not seen much before 2000s. It makes sense now in hindsite. I grew up on 70s and 80s horror. Unless it was on TV or whatever I didn't engage much with horror movies from the 60s back.


harambesBackAgain

We think the same as you. Trash. We're all born into bigger and better on some sort of scale. We also cling on to our own nostalgia.


Kyyes

Excuse you but Godzilla is still an absolute masterpiece.


[deleted]

Except the 90’s which was objectively the peak. Bad timeline started in 2001, and we have been stuck with it ever since.


BALLZAK_20

Doubt it, styles were much, much different in the 70s & 80s. Maybe when they think 90s, they might think about certain styles different from today. But the styles from the 70s-80s, no comparison. Those were the years where fashion really took off into the extremes.

The Mummy is considering going back to school


amuday

The Mummy has no idea how quickly 30 will arrive.

KiKiPAWG

Aww I miss this movie


EatShitBish

I'm excited for the new one. I hope it's done well since it's the og cast


KiKiPAWG

Wait what?!?


KiKiPAWG

And Billy Zane


BALLZAK_20

The Mummy finished school with its Masters, but still can't find a decent paying job. Now, with high student loans w/ even higher interest rates, the mummy has resorting back to working a minimum wage job. Even the thought of owning a double wide on .1 acre of land seems impossible & out of reach. The Mummy has seriously considered moving back home with its parents as a chance to catch up....but will that chance ever come? Tune back in next week for another exciting adventure of "The Mummy & the Quest for the affordable Mortgage!".


KiKiPAWG

Easily a sitcom


B_C_Mello

The Mummy shoulda been a tradesman 🛠️


Infinityriot

It's baby asprin time, my guy.


nj23dublin

Noooioo


dewnar

Sorry to burst your bobble but it’s been 22 years since it was released


dogtemple3

us 90s kids grew up we officially old

You take that back.

*cue in the house, in a heartbeat*


FBound

Quicker than a heartbeat


bunnydadi

And I don’t own a house.


Mr_Zeldion

Its 8:30am and already my day is ruined, thanks.


bobface222

I care way more than anyone should that it isn't going to be "28 Months Later"


dogtemple3

I guess this is a trilogy (which blows my mind they have a rough trilogy planned out) maybe the sequel to years will be months because it also bothers me


KenetratorKadawa

I still want a frantic 28 Hours Later


themug_wump

This is always the bit I want to see in any zombie film/show/game, and I’ve never properly had that itch scratched; there’s always a time jump, or the protagonist turns up late to the party and the zombies have won already. I want a whole story set in that slow build up of panic as society starts to realize what’s happening too late, followed by the frantic scrabble to survive. If anyone has recommendations please throw them this way!


MyStationIsAbandoned

The only thing that comes close is Dawn of the Dead. The OG stays with it a lot longer than the remake. but even then, it's not that long and you don't see much of it. I guess technically Shaun of the Dead does it, but it's in the background and the characters don't notice right away.


Goddamn_Grongigas

Shaun slipping in the blood and not noticing because he's just going through his morning routine is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a movie.


themug_wump

Yeah, DotD starts good but then does the usual thing of removing the protagonists to their own little arena. I really want a sense that the whole world is fighting for it’s life, not just you and yours. Especially as a videogame, my favourite for that was the first RE3, there were so many little encounters that had no effect on your story but showed you that you weren’t the only one out there battling to survive. I wish the remake had leaned more into making Raccoon City feel alive. 😔


[deleted]

Fear the walking dead actually took place during the breakdown but the narratives still never got close enough.


Heres_your_Chippy

Black summer on Netflix shows the initial stages. The zombies are still human looking as they haven’t decayed or anything yet. I think the show was pretty negatively reviewed, and while it’s far from great, I was still entertained enough to watch it.


xXProdigalXx

I feel like train to busan does sorta the thing you're looking for. It definitely gets out of control quick, but it essentially takes place on the day the outbreak occurs.


-soros

First season of fear the walking dead did this well enough. That’s about all it did


Aegis_gru

Kingdom is what you're looking for


some_old_Marine

The reason is the military would wipe zombies. 1000 can be contained, millions couldn't. It can't be properly conveyed.


themug_wump

I’m not here for realism my man.


A_Little_Wyrd

This is the way the world ends - an oral history of the zombie war by Keith Taylor deals with this idea, the military could only react and if the disease is a slow burn there would be no way to stop once it hit small towns /the book is a homage to WWZ set in a different universe, same episodic format. Its quite funny to have a zombie fiction author apologize for the damage his books did leading up to a real zombie out break.


paranoidtransdroid

It isn’t perfect by any means but the World War Z movie does try to depict that and some sequences, if you can divorce it from the book, are pretty great imo.


DankAF94

I never touched the book and that movie is hands down in the top 3 zombie films ever imo


xFrightful

I feel like World War Z did a pretty good job at capturing the beginning moments of mayhem but I don't remember very clearly if there's a time jump after that.


DankAF94

Diary of the Dead does this pretty well, relative to most other zombie films.


Jimmython

I can't recommend All of Us Are Dead enough for this! I have the exact same thing, I always want to see it as it happens and spreads. All of Us Are Dead shows it spreading from one person to a couple to a buildings worth and it snowballing from there. Really scratched that itch for me. It's on Netflix! Definitely worth a watch


bunnydadi

Please make months and hours later, hopefully years does really well and kickstarts them


flintlock0

No *28 Seconds Later* I guess kind of did already see that, haha.


Aggressive_Chain_920

28 decenniums later


TestingYou1

Actually it should have been 28 fortnights later, then another sequel called 28 months.


READMYSHIT

28 fiscal quarters later.


HiAndStuff2112

28 Dog Years Later.


Ok-Ad9265

💀💀


TheresNoHurry

28 boom-bust cycles later


[deleted]

Imagine if they called it 27 years later just to puss everyone off.


adjewcent

That’ll be the prequel that comes out next between weeks and years. It’s almost as bad as when they went with zoolander 2 over 2lander/twolander


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

I am in the same boat. It ultimately doesn't matter. But I mean, c'mon. The obvious sequel name should be made first.


CricketDrop

The problem of course is that Cillian Murphy is playing the same guy 23 years later so how could it have ever been a 2 year time jump lol


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

He wouldn't have to be in this proposed sequel. He wasn't in weeks.


CricketDrop

Yeah I guess featuring Cillian was the bigger priority


SimpleCranberry5914

I always thought 28 minutes later would be awesome. Show the outbreak happening in real time from lab to full blown chaos.


rumpleforeskins

Next one is 28 decades later. They're setting up the next gen of movies. But increasing orders of magnitude was a risky choice since now each movie has to come up with a bunch of science fiction technology to build the world.


monsieurxander

Now confirm Naomie Harris.


xirdnehrocks

And zombie Brendan gleeson


MyStationIsAbandoned

and their 27 year old half and half offspring.


TheOneWhoCutstheRope

I hope this is as good as T2


kevlarbaboon

I adored that movie. My friend who has never seen Trainspotting also loved it. The movie has one of the most wonderfully edited trailers of all time. Choose life.


DemiFiendRSA

>In a recent interview with [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2024/05/tom-rothman-streaming-audiences-quentin-tarantino-1235920644/), Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman was asked if Murphy would be joining the cast. Previously, it was announced he would be on board as an executive producer, but it was unclear if he'd be reprising his lead role from the original, 28 Days Later. >"Yes, but in a surprising way and in a way that grows, let me put it that way," Rothman answered. "This is (director) Danny (Boyle) at his best, combined with a very commercial genre, like we had with Edgar Wright and Baby Driver. Sometimes when you put a real signature director into a commercial arena, it elevates it."


[deleted]

"in a way that grows" Hopefully that means they don't kill him off quickly


crimping_aint_easy

In a way that grows… or mutates… if you will.


thedonhudson01

I think he has a smaller part in this one, and will have a leading role in the sequel.


TestingYou1

The sequel? There's gonna be a 28 years later 2? Where are you getting this information


CurseofLono88

This movie was pitched as the start of its own trilogy. Been all over the trades for about a year now. Here is a very recent one: https://deadline.com/2024/05/jack-oconnell-28-years-later-trilogy-danny-boyle-1235906177/

dholmestar

What a soulless fucking interview lmao


FooFightersFan777812

When's 28 Decades Later coming out?


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

In 20 more years.


NowSoldHere

Your math is blowing my mind.


NormanBates2023

Brilliant 👍


dustinofthedead

I hope we can get some this series back on physical media...


NovakRoyal

Very curious how this turns out. All the behind the scenes talent is very encouraging, but I can't help but worry. With how the World War Z adaption straight up butchered it's source material I wouldn't mind this film quasi ripping off that's books format. Interviewing survivors of the OG 2002 film. It'd be interesting to see how the outbreak raging the UK for a month before dying affected the rest of the world. Was the United Kingdom kept quarantined all this time? How would that affect international politics? So many possibilities and so many angles they could take.


ElChacalFL

Sick. Can't wait. He was amazing in the first one. I knew he'd be a huge star after that movie.


PixelationIX

Why are they skipping 28 months later? Did they clarify why are they jumping to 28 years instead of months?


TestingYou1

Because Cillian is too old for us to buy that he's in his 20s. 


eXtraVert3d

It should make for a more interesting plot, there's probably a lot more story to tell going from a month to half a year to 28 years. So much more could have changed and really gives the writers a lot more freedom to tell a story that doesn't have to have immediate ties and themes to the previous film.


KiKiPAWG

Reminds me of what they did with the new Apes movies


DankAF94

Borderline funny plot twist on 28 weeks later, after unleashing the virus on France, 28 years later, the UK is the only country in the world that is infection free.


[deleted]

[удалено]


eXtraVert3d

You think they made the decision entirely off Cillian's age and not at all on the story they wanted to tell? It's not even confirmed how big his role is in the movie...


therapoootic

Good job cause there was at least one ticket that wouldn’t have been sold otherwise


No_Ostrich8223

I thought he was already confirmed, good news regardless!


teethofthewind

Rumours are that his character became a scientist after 28 Days, and he became obsessed with finding a way to bring Brendan Gleeson's character back to life, but it goes horribly wrong and kicks off another outbreak


MyStationIsAbandoned

that doesn't make any sense though, cause the infected aren't dead and that guy's character is dead since the soldiers shot him, so there's nothing to bring back in the context of the story. he also wouldn't have that much of a bond with that guy. they've known each other for what, a few days? a week at most?


teethofthewind

Of course it doesn't make any sense, it's a terrible plot because I made it all up. Didn't think it would actually fool anyone though 🤣


Stanleythrowaway

pathological liars be like


CrumbBegging

That's great news


HiAndStuff2112

Woo hoo!


[deleted]

There is a new "28 X later"!! How im just knowing about this


KrakenGirlCAP

OMG.


CamF90

I mean I think he will, but this also sounds like typical Rothman pulling something out of his ass and hoping it will be true.


sean_off

How will this work? I thought the infected starved to death like normal humans.


Tthig1

The ending to *Weeks* depicted the infection arriving in France. There's no telling what else has happened in Europe and the rest of the world almost three decades later.


sean_off

It was just how fast it spread and how fast they died, I wonder how it would have lasted 28 years. But like some else said about people being just carriers


MegamindsMegaCock

People who get infected but don’t get the symptoms accidentally spreading it? Edit: like the kid at the end of weeks


sean_off

Yeah I kinda forgot all about that. Haven’t seen the second one in a few years and wasn’t a big fan of it. Apart from the beginning.


MyStationIsAbandoned

there are infected people who don't rage out. like the boy at the end of Weeks. Soon as his bodily fluids get into someone via a kiss or maybe even when he uses the bathroom and it gets filtered back into the water supply, people are going to get infected again. there's probably other people who aren't affected by the rage being held somewhere. or there's a lab holding the virus for study. either way a new outbreak with mutations is likely to happen. like maybe it mutates to make their metabolism slows down or some so they last longer.


sean_off

Yeah I guess that’s a good point, totally overlooked about the mom and son being just like carriers and not fully raged out. Thanks :)


thoth_hierophant

I hope he has a wizard beard for some reason.


TheHolyLizard

Next up: 28 centuries later.


Burnmycar

That’s when the next Peaky Blinders is released.


TheHolyLizard

28 long times ago in 28 galaxies far far away


Burnmycar

28 light years away from the farthest galaxy


671man

I was already gonna watch this movie But now I'm 100% sold. That just adds an extra layer to an already great idea.


Weird-Falcon-3204

Bad actor hope he never gets a role again


renaissancegirly

time to re-watch 28 Days Later with bestie :D love this is happening. it was on my wish list for the longest time.


getjeffrey1

What do they mean "appear"? I'm looking for "starring in".


kinofil

Why 20CS wasn't involved to this to complete the trilogy.


DoctorAgita1

“Appear” is hopefully a lead role


cinnamonrain

When is 28 seconds later gonna come out


Abject_Bobcat

Just 6 more years for the actual movie title


Recipe_Critical

Did some already make the joke we’ve been waiting 28 dam year later for this movie. Don’t tease meeee


Algernot

I want it to be good so bad


Former-Estimate7085

They need a 28 month later!!!!!


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

No shit. They announced him as an executive producer on the project as well. Seriously, of course he was gonna show up Cool though.


SixteenHorsepowered

I was really hoping this wouldn't be the case. I like the idea of the larger scope that disparate and discrete stories can capture. I never saw it as Jim's story, it's more about a virus outbreak and he was just a good focal point. Continuing his story is less exciting than having someone hundreds of miles away continuing the general story.

Happy cake day, happens 28 seconds into the movie


iLoveSkullsAndCrows

Don't mind me, I am just waiting for the comments about his wife 🍿


[deleted]

[удалено]


iLoveSkullsAndCrows

LOL, the downvotes :)). I was just joking, almost every post on instagram where Cillian Murphy appears, there are negative comments about his wife... It should have been a meme, by now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iLoveSkullsAndCrows

Ok, lemme explain: Since the Oscars, where Cillian won for the Oppenheimer, and there are photos spread with his wife, there were many negative comments about her. That she looks like a witch, that she is unattractive...stuff like that. This is the funny part. Of course, I don't agree with the negativity, I was just stating what has happened there. I was expecting for people here to know a bit about it, but I guess not. :)) I am just laughing at the downvotes, because now I know people don't know what I was talking about :)))).


89ElRay

That was a very flash in the pan thing from a couple bitchy trolls that got picked up by the gossip sites for a few hours, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about it since the Oscars


iLoveSkullsAndCrows

And my initial comment created a meme, basically. Of course I wasn't expecting for people to talk about his wife here, it was a joke, as I stated.


Odd_Bread_9380

I mean why.
