Last night, London’s Leicester Square turned into a scene straight out of a zombie apocalypse—but in the best way possible—as Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later held its star-studded world premiere. Deadline caught up with the cast and crew on the red carpet, where Aaron Taylor-Johnson teased a Brexit-inspired twist in the film, Jodie Comer joked about willing a movie musical into existence, and Boyle reflected on how horror has evolved since the original 28 Days Later. Oh, and Tom Rothman dropped some acting advice, because why not?
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another red carpet recap—it’s a snapshot of why 28 Years Later is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Boyle’s return to the franchise that redefined zombie horror, combined with candid moments from the cast, gives fans plenty to chew on (pun intended). Plus, the Brexit nod hints at how the sequel might tackle modern anxieties, proving horror’s still a mirror for our times.
