Cryptic '28 Years Later' Teaser Video Released by Sony Pictures

Sony Pictures has released its first teaser for 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle’s long-awaited zombie apocalypse sequel.

The footage is largely black with Morse code audio and flashes of an island connected by a long land bridge, as well as statue-like figures (crucified zombies?), red skulls and red contamination symbols.

The studio is being extra cryptic with the release, taking the unusual step of putting no movie title or description on the YouTube video, but it was also tweeted from the official 28 Years Later account on X.

Internet sleuths have said the island appears to be Lindisfarne in Northumberland, which would seemingly be a smart place to take refuge during a zombie outbreak.

The official description: “Sometime after the events of 28 Weeks Later, the Rage Virus has returned, and a group of survivors must survive in a world ravaged by hordes of the infected.”

Here’s a closer look at the island in the video:

In the film, Cillian Murphy reprises his role as a survivor from the 2002 original 28 Days Later and stars alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman and Edvin Ryding. Original writer Alex Garland has also returned to pen the script along with Boyle.

The film was reportedly shot back-to-back with yet another sequel, 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple. The project is directed by Nia DaCosta, written by Boyle and Garland, and also starring Murphy.

28 Years Later will be released June 20.
