The loyalty this man has. After doing Peaky Blinders and winning an Oscar for Oppenheimer, he doesn't reject a Zombie film. Love this guy

[@arkletv5697]

A zombie film is what made him famous.

[@Angyali]

@@arkletv5697 The Dark Knight Trilogy made Cillian widely known.

[@JohnOrrTheArsonist]

Considering 28 Days Later brought him into the mainstream acting world, cock and balls and all, and it got such high praise I can't say I'm surprised he's working with the original director and writer to bring the story back full circle. I'm absolutely excited to see how this movie turns out ❤️

Whenever I watch it I want to scream "don't take two beautiful young women to men with guns." A dumb idea on it's face. I would head for the coast and grab a yacht. But that's just me.

[@grayisdabest]

i bought the box set about 17 years ago and still watch them now ,super pumped for the next movie!

[@unpopularsoul]

The scene in the big house with the rain pouring down and everything is just chaos, zombies running around, Jim being in the zone trying to protect the girls and the music playing… brilliant.

[@robertblackiston4784]

It's absolutely amazing

[@kemop06]

So freaking good can't wait for this sequel to come out. 28 Days Later was the first time I'd ever seen Cillian Murphy even though he looked 14 years old 🙂 in this movie he did such an excellent job.

[@benharrison4132]

The girl hiding behind the mirror, with a zombie, confused, looking at itself. The house scene is something that still gets me everytime I re-watch.

[@LuisMercadoorg]

That scene made me listen to John Murphy’s entire work.

[@SenorGreenbean-ti4xq]

They’re not fucking zombies

[@slashercat]

28 Days Later changed my life when I was a kid. The church scene always stuck with me. Piles of bodies in the pews. He says one word, and like 12 infected shoot up and look at him. The sequence of him going back to save Selena was perfect. The music. The rain. I love how chaotic it gets after he unchains Mailer.

[@sinmac7165]

Factsssssss lol

[@jimmy3x216]

I hate to use this word, but it is spot on…. “Ditto”

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The sequel will feature Infected people who kill EACH OTHER, so the protagonists will only have to fight of like 2% of them

[@David_brent]

It was only 2 that stood up to look at him

[@verto2222]

Gave me nightmares as a child

[@ElChris816]

Cillian is a type of actor that when I see a preview, and he's in it, I know it will be amazing. He's truly a master of his craft. Also, to hear him say the words that 28 Years Later is going to get made has excited me to no end.

[@ElChris816]

Thanks for the recommendation. @ME-qc1xc

[@embramorgan6720]

28 Days Later is my favorite zombie film. I really don't think any others measure up. Casting, soundtrack, writing was good. The scenario and the zombies are more realistic which makes it terrifying. Can't wait!

[@patrickkirkham]

Cuz they aren’t zombies. As much as people love to call it that, the creator has said otherwise, and zombies are undead whereas rage virus is an infection, pandemic so to speak…but it also makes the running more believable, cuz really how many zombies would last running aimlessly without breaking an ankle and then are limping around on a broken foot

[@embramorgan6720]

@@patrickkirkham it's true they aren't exactly zombies, but films like those fell under the "zombie" label just like World War Z and I Am Legend etc. Even TWD was advertised as zombies but it was all an infection of some sort. I like the outbreak aspect to it for sure.

[@kimpeater1]

I don't consider 28 days later a zombie film at all

[@StateOfMind63]

@@patrickkirkham C'mon now. They are clearly what most people would refer to as zombies. As zombies are not a real thing, technicalities are pointless and daft. It's a zombie film. A very good one sure, but still a zombie film

@@abrin5508 yeah like the main theme song was GYBE’s East Hastings - although edited quite a bit so that it would fit with the film, I mean, as all GYBE songs, they’re slow burning, so I would imagine doesn’t really make it easy to use in a film production

28 Days Later was my first "zombie" movie in theaters and it was an EXPERIANCE. 28 Weeks was an excellent follow up in itself. Was so devastated that we never got 28 Months, but i am so excited for this news. 28 Years Later in a world controlled by the infected. Its gonna be interesting to see how it works considering the infected can starve to death and thats how it was stopped the first time.

[@mm9773]

He’s a very polite boy. I once saw him in my local video shop maybe a year after Batman Begins came out or so; he didn’t have his membership card and patiently said his name (“Moirphy”) and went through the process of identifying himself instead of giving it the “don’t you know who I am” and all that.
