Jodie Comer, famed for her riveting performances in "Killing Eve," has revealed her genuine fear while working alongside her zombie co-stars in the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic thriller, "28 Years Later." In this follow-up to the iconic 2002 film "28 Days Later," directed by Danny Boyle, Comer plays the role of Isla, grappling with the horrifying realities of a world overrun by the infected.

In a candid interview with Empire magazine, the actress recounted her adrenaline-pumping experiences on set, stating, "The thing about our stunt performers playing the infected is that they really don't hold back. They chase you. There were so many moments where I felt like I was actually running for my life!" Her comments underscore the intense commitment of the cast and crew to deliver a truly immersive and frightening experience.

Director Danny Boyle, known for his masterful storytelling, expressed his excitement upon returning to the franchise two decades after its inception. Comer shared Boyle's passion, mentioning, "He just said, 'I love this stuff.' I asked him why, and he explained, 'Because you just have to go there. You can't fake it. You have to really go there in order for the audience to be with you.'" This dedication to authenticity is expected to resonate deeply with fans of the series.

Although Cillian Murphy, who starred as survivor Jim in "28 Days Later," will not return for this sequel, executive producer Andrew Macdonald hinted at future collaborations. He disclosed, "He’s involved at the moment as an executive producer, and I would hope we can work with him in some way in the future in the trilogy." This has stirred excitement and speculation among fans eager to see how Murphy might be incorporated into future installments.

Interestingly, trailer footage for "28 Years Later" sparked speculation regarding a character resembling Murphy, which Boyle later confirmed was a misunderstanding. "I showed my girlfriend the trailer, and she said, 'People will think that's Cillian.' I thought, 'Don’t be silly.' So I've eaten a bit of humble pie since," Boyle remarked, acknowledging how closely fans observe every detail.

The upcoming movie will kick off a trilogy, with the second installment, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," slated for release next year. Writer Alex Garland explained their ambitious plans for the narrative, stating, "This is very narratively ambitious. Danny and I understood that. We tried to condense it, but its natural form felt like a trilogy."

As excitement builds in the lead-up to the film's release in June, fans of the franchise can expect a gripping blend of horror and storytelling that promises to elevate their viewing experience. Stay tuned as the world of "28 Years Later" unfolds—will it deliver the same chilling impact as its predecessor? Only time will tell!
