Film-maker Danny Boyle talks Covid, horror, and making 28 Years Later
Director Danny Boyle, known for his work in Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, discusses how the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic made his new film, "28 Years Later," more relevant and terrifying. The sequel explores a post-apocalyptic world where survivors must adapt to an evolved "Rage Virus" with young lead, Spike. Boyle emphasizes the parallels between the film's themes of adaptation and different ways of progressing with real-world political undercurrents, reflecting on stagnant cultures and the impending horrors they may bring.
