The original version of 28 years later was a completely different movie – and a different language

23 years after a revolution in this type of horror by modifying the uniforms of ordinary people who move fast with anger virus in “after 28 days, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland returned to the Zombie world that they created” 28 years ” – Stephen King loved him, but he was not afraid of that.

Film makers have changed a lot in two decades since (not) Zombie, which makes “28 years” a great exercise in not trying to do the same again. As Chris Evangelista from the movie /film, the movie “a kind of sensory load-a mixture of violence, mixed media and soundtracks often with an overview effect.” In fact, according to his review, “After 28 years,” she was able to be frightening and influential, It is an impressive, effective and unforgettable complement.

In “28 years after”, we meet Spike (Alfi Williams) and his father Jimmy (Harun Taylor Johnson) about 30 years after the anger virus escaped from the vital weapons laboratory and destroyed the mainland of the British, which was made by the rest of the world. The father and son duo live on a small island connected only to the main righteousness through a narrow bridge that disappears with the high tide. Of course, one of them decides the adventure on the mainland and quickly discovered that the world descends into madness, and a virus mutates it.

In the years before “28 years”, there were many ideas about what a third movie might be in the series. One of them, Alex Garland, could have been a disaster – a completely different movie in a completely different language.

After the release of “28 weeks after” in 2007 without either Boyle or Garland in the scenario, fans began to hope to reconsider this universe with more stories. At some point, Garland began to reach possible ideas for new films in the world “28 days”, taking into account until writing duties for another person. It was not yet yet Covid-19 Garland began thinking about writing itself for a third movie.

Talk to Traded stoneGarland tells one of the early ideas he had for another movie. The concept was to follow a group of military commandos who break the quarantine and reach the laboratory where the anger virus was originally created – in order to find a treatment. Except, as soon as they arrived at the laboratory, the commando will find another group that has already reached there first, and he was trying to arm the virus. It was supposed to be a movie with “Shootouts and Mass Happy and Big and Action-Edvanture Style Style. The first group, which was trying to treat the virus, was the Chinese special forces, and the film was supposed to be in the mandarin and translated.

“It was completely general,” said Garland laughing. “Finally, we both gave up on it. But it is strange that writing something general was the element of liberation for all our problems. We have given permission to obtain a completely empty list.”

Thinking about making a coma in the UK, where the heroes are Chinese soldiers trying to perform a zombie -like virus, on paper, like an interesting idea. For one of them, it looks like a great slap in the face of the anti-Asian hatred that originated in the first days of Covid-19, in addition to the idea of ​​a movie written by Alex Garland and perhaps with a great director everything in Mandarin was a great intellectual experience.

However, it is easy to see how a horror movie supplement it is a big movie with a lot of soldiers will be boring and completely derived, since this is what “foreigners” did 40 years ago. Instead, it can be said that the movie we got is the best case scenario for completion, which was released more than 20 years after the original. “After 28 years” is a wonderful expansion of ideas and a world “after 28 days”, providing and giving concepts of zombies, which sometimes even It is similar to the secret adaptation of the classic horror story. The injured have evolved here, after many years, more, and they seem to have started creating societies, which Shock and also one of the best zombie films ideas in years.

But even the main story only, albeit simple (and in at least one way similar to a “28 weeks” plot), also hides a somewhat emotional story to accept death in the face of absolute hell. It is a film on how to face our inevitable demise, how this knowledge has turned some people in violent madness, and others into calm acceptance. There is no coma, just like “28 years after”, because Garland took his time and decided not to go with his first instinct.
