“As an actor to be on a set with someone like that who’s leading the charge is so exciting.

“I remember seeing 28 Days Later and I was so struck with how it was so rooted in reality, and it was more about the exploration of us as a species and our behaviour and how we react.

“It felt like there was a lot of emotional truth within the film that really anchored it. That’s also what I felt when I read this script.”

Meanwhile, Cillian says the 22-year-old movie is the only one of his films he watches back.

“I never watch my own films, except that one. I have great affection for it.”

He added: “I can’t give much more at this point, but I’ve always said I would love to be involved because that movie changed everything for me.

“It’s always on around Halloween and during the pandemic people were constantly sending me clips.

“And I’ve shown it to my kids. It’s really stood up, even though it’s 22 years old now.”
