Final summer season, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland introduced recent life to the zombie franchise 28 Days Later with 28 Years Later, a jaw-dropping marvel of a horror film. So, Candyman director Nia DaCosta had a dizzyingly excessive bar to hit with this yr’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a direct sequel that plunges deeper into the curious characters of the ossuary-building Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), the contaminated Alpha Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), and the dynamic cult chief, Jimmy (Jack O’Connell).
Critics have been universally blown away by DaCosta’s horrifying and interesting movie. In her assessment for Mashable, Leisure Editor Kristy Puchko cheered, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is an outstanding movie. As a sequel, it builds the saga of Spike with out retreading its predecessor’s steps. As a zombie film, it delivers scenes of gut-churning violence and haunting loss. As a horror movie, it’s chic, beautiful, wealthy in visible splendor, surging with feeling, and intoxicating in its surprising twists. Merely put, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple fucking guidelines.”
So it was with nice pleasure that Mashable welcomed DaCosta and O’Connell to the Say Extra sofa to have a good time Bone Temple, whereas shouting out their 2025 work — three of which made our greatest movies of the yr record — 28 Years Later, Sinners, and Hedda.
Above is the primary 5 minutes of the dialog between Puchko, O’Connell, and DaCosta, tapping into how they got here to be part of this franchise and the dream that’s working with Boyle.
