28 Years Later, the World Still Isn’t Safe

Just when you thought the terror had ended, it mutates.

The post-apocalyptic universe first unleashed by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland returns with a chilling new chapter—28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Directed by the visionary Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels), this psychological horror-thriller revisits a devastated world where survival comes at the cost of your soul.

The Official Trailer is Finally here. Watch it now:

Set for release in Philippine cinemas this January 2026, the film is distributed locally by Columbia Pictures, the Philippine branch of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Rage Lives On – But So Does Something Far Worse

Gone are the days when the infected were the only monsters.

In The Bone Temple, the story picks up nearly three decades after the outbreak that decimated society. Ralph Fiennes reprises his role as the enigmatic Dr. Kelson, now entangled in a mysterious and dangerous relationship that could alter humanity’s future. Meanwhile, Alfie Williams returns as Spike, a hardened survivor whose path collides with a new antagonist—Jimmy Crystal, portrayed by Jack O’Connell (Unbroken, Skins).

And here’s the twist: the infected? They’re no longer the biggest threat.

A Darker, Deeper Descent into Horror

Forget what you think you know about zombie films. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple flips the narrative, plunging audiences into a terrifying exploration of human cruelty in a world stripped of morality.

As survivors form factions, alliances grow toxic, and trust becomes more lethal than the virus itself. Newcomers Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Chi Lewis-Parry add fresh blood to a franchise already brimming with complex characters and emotional tension.

Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, the film promises to push boundaries and unsettle audiences like never before.

Meet the Creative Powerhouse Behind the Film

This isn’t just another sequel—it’s an evolution.

Produced by a powerhouse team that includes Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, Bernard Bellew, Danny Boyle, and Alex Garland, The Bone Temple builds on the foundation laid by 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The film also boasts Cillian Murphy as executive producer, adding depth and prestige to the production.
