In an exclusive interview with Empire, more updates have been added to the highly anticipated film, 28 Years Later. Earlier today, it was confirmed that Cillian Murphy is not in the film, however, now we’ve learned even more!

Along with the reveal of their March issues cover photos, we’ve learned more details about the film’s plot, as well as Danny Boyle returning for the third film in this new trilogy (depending on audience’s responses to 28 Years Later).

In the article, details of Aaron Taylor-Johson’s, Jodie Comer’s and Alfie Williams’ characters were shared. The three play a family who are a part of a community on Holy Island (Lindisfarne).

Director Danny Boyle describes it as “a closed and necessarily very tight community.” He continues, “There are very strict defence laws, obviously, to survive that long in what is effectively an ongoing hostile environment. They’ve created a successful community, as they see it.” It soon comes time for young Spike to take a rite-of-passage trip beyond the safety of Lindisfarne, to open his eyes to the true state of the nation. Needless to say, things don’t go to plan.”

In the new movie, “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.”

Alex Garland wrote 28 Years Later and Danny Boyle is back in the director’s chair. Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) set to direct the second installment in the trilogy, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

28 Years Later‘s cast includes Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black), Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), ​Alfie Williams (“His Dark Materials”) and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
