London’s Leicester Square was infected by the rage virus last night as it hosted the world premiere of Danny Boyle‘s zombie-horror 28 Years Later.
Deadline was on the red carpet to speak to the team behind the film, including Oscar-winning director Boyle, stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Alfie Williams and Edvin Ryding, as well as Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, Tom Rothman, who gives us a tip on an upcoming movie that will make its lead into “a true movie star”.
You can check out the highlights from our interviews below, which touch on Brexit, parenthood, eccentric characters, upcoming projects (“I can’t talk about it,” Taylor-Johnson said with a smile), making movies for the big screen, and the sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
In 28 Years Later, written by Oscar-nominated writer Alex Garland, it’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory. And now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

28 Years Later is in theaters on June 20, 2025.
