First exclusive look and interviews

The rabies virus continues to compensate 28 years later: the bone templeBut the real threat to humanity can be humans themselves. A first exclusive preview of the film, in theaters on January 16, promises an expansion of the dystopian universe of the franchise, with more violence soaked in blood, and the rise of a cult figure in a crawling England with the infected. Directed by Nia Dacosta and written by Alex Garland, the film marks the fourth episode of 28 years old series and follow -up of the recent 28 years lateralso written by Garland.

Dacosta took the reins of Boyle only three weeks after her film last year, but says she wanted to breathe the story with her own sense of calamitous horror. “What connects the two is that they are both wilderness, idiosyncratic and very artistically personal works,” explains Dacosta Roller. “My big land when I spoke to the producers, including Danny and Alex, before coming,” I’m going to make mine. I will not try to make a Danny Boyle film. “Because it is impossible to do. Dacosta adds his catch:” It is so difficult to describe the tone of the film that I will not even try. But he keeps the same unique energy, out of the wall. ”

28 years later: the bone temple resumes shortly after the events of 28 years laterwho culminated with Spike (Alfie Williams) meeting Sir Jimmy Crystal by Jack O’Connell and his gang of blonde hair and blond hair. The continuation follows Spike, whom Dacosta calls “the line through” between the films, because he is forced to join the violent cult of Jimmy, which is on a collision trajectory with Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) and his alpha Samson virus (Chi Lewis-Parry).

“This film is the strange and disturbed cousin 28 years laterwhich you might be a little ashamed of because they have strange and questionable interests, ”says O’Connell Roller. “We see how unstoppable nature is in the end. Nature prevails. The world will follow its natural course with or without humans. But I don’t think the infected are purely antagonists in our film. This will certainly be made to consider it. ”

“What is cool The bone temple Do we have the Jimmies and their world, and we have Kelson and his world, “explains Dacosta.” Spike moves between the two, so it was really fun to have a different filming style for each character. »»

O’Connell describes Jimmy as “extremely dark and twisted”, noting that when you see the character as a child in the first episode of the films, “you see what he testifies to. That plants are an early seed for what it becomes. We are in an apocalyptic world, and evil and darkness are two of the forces that have still been able to exist.

He adds the introduction of the character to 28 years later“When we meet him, he does good. He seems to do something quite positive, but we take him definitively in a twisted joy of cheerfulness. This is what I was looking for when I played him: twisted cheerfulness.”

Dacosta calls O’Connell “a wonder” in the role: “I love him. It is so excellent in this film. After Remmick [his vampire character in Sinners]He is in his time of wicked at the moment. Although she is reluctant to reveal too much about Jimmy’s story in her film, she says: “You can see more of what it means that the Jimmies are all dressed and so that they are called the Jimmias, the cult of the personality he created around himself.”

Dacosta threw O’Connell in collaboration with Boyle, and she threw her band of devoted followers – which O’Connell characterizes as “Outlaw posse” by Jimmy – herself. They include Emma Laird and Erin Kellyman. “This is the strength of figures and survival of the most fit type, so they are all ready to go and can manage themselves,” explains O’Connell. “They are all very distorted but intriguing characters.”

The film will present more background on Dr. Kelson and more of his relationship with Samson, a vicious alpha he shouts regularly but never tries to kill. In the trailer, which falls on Wednesday, we see Kelson tender your hand to touch Samson, and Dacosta teases that their evolving dynamics are a “large part of the film”. “We saw Samson tear people’s heads,” she notes. “But Kelson is a Kook, and he does what he wants to do.”

Drawn entirely on site, The bone temple will also deepen our understanding of the devastation of viruses across England. “The world is growing,” says Dacosta. “We have an overview of other types of effect of 28-year-old.” And she promises that the action will be up to the cover scenes of your eyes 28 years later as well as the original series. “As a spectator, I like gore and body horror and visceral effects,” she says. “But when I direct, it is more of what effect I want to create and what I want people to feel. There was no mandate that he had to be super-gorge, but there are times.”

“The trailer makes a very good job to lead a feeling and a mood without really alluding to the script too strongly,” notes O’Connell. And rest assured, he says of the film: “It’s going from places, guy.”

Dacosta, who also directed the next film Hedda With Tessa Thompson, remembers having had 28 days later On DVD, she was 12 years old. She says that she is grateful for the opportunity to continue to explore the primary world created by Boyle and Garland in 2002. “The concept of the rage virus gives us the opportunity to really talk about humanity,” said Dacosta. “In particular in this film, [it’s about] The nature of evil and the way we contextualize this in a world with many belief systems that have been created in order to manage the nonsense of existence. This is one of my favorite things in this kind of film – it’s the look of humanity and what we are doing. In the film, we have the infected and we have people who are not infected. Who really does worse things?
