When Danny Boyle and Alex Garland redefined Zombies with Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later
'28 Days Later' brought a horrific genre back: the zombies. The movie was two decades ago and starred Cillian Murphy as Jim, who was a bicycle courier guy. He discovers that he is among the survivors of an incurable virus that has wiped out the U.K. after he wakes up from a coma. How did the idea come to reinvent the genre? Garland was a fan of George Romero's 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' when he was young. The idea was pitched when he was getting pizza with Andrew Macdonald about the running zombies in London. Garland tells 'THR' that 'There were five drafts where it was just me working with Andrew, and then eventually Andrew said, 'OK, now I'm going to show this to Danny.'' The writer has said that fast-moving zombie dogs in the 1996 video game 'Resident Evil' were a disclosure: 'That's the thing that gave the idea of a zombie movie, but where the zombies move quickly.' Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, and Christopher Eccleston rounded out the cast for the film that got released theatrically on June 27, 2003. It collected 74 million dollars globally at that time, and a 'THR' story about its legacy noted that the project 'uses the idea of these living dead to explore the collapse of society.' Producer credits Danny Boyle , the director, and Alex Garland , the screenwriter, only had producer credits on the 2007 sequel of '28 Weeks Later,' but the June 20 follow-up of '28 Years Later' sees the return of Boyle as director and Garland as writer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Over the years, Boyle has attended anniversary screenings for '28 Days Later' and informed Garland when they're packed with fans. 'I think it's the idea and the manner with which we did it,' Boyle has said about the first movie's appeal. 'That led us to think, 'Could we actually investigate this further?'' The OG cast The sci-fi thriller had Cillian Murphy as Jim, Naomie Harris as Selena, Brendan Gleeson as Frank, Megan Burns as Hannah, Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West, Noah Huntley as Mark, Stuart McQuarrie as Sergeant Farrell, Ricci Harnett as Corporal Mitchell, Leo Bill as Private Jones, Luke Mably as Private Clifton, Junior Laniyan as Private Bell, Ray Panthaki as Private Bedford, Sanjay Rambaruth as Private Davis and Marvin Campbell as Private Mailer.

‘GTA VI' delay weighs on global videogame market growth, data shows
The global videogame market's growth rate is expected to improve marginally in 2025 from the previous year, according to a report from research firm Newzoo, seen exclusively by Reuters on Tuesday. Analysts and industry experts had projected a surge in industry growth this year due to the expected blockbuster launch of Take-Two's 'Grand Theft Auto VI' and new consoles. However, the delay of the long-awaited title to next year and price hikes to videogame hardware, arising from tariffs, have made consumer spending uncertain. The global videogame market is projected to grow 3.4% to $188.9 billion in 2025, compared with last year's growth of 3.2%, according to the report. 'This forecast reflects concrete changes, hardware cycles, pricing trends, install base growth, and title pipelines,' said Michiel Buijsman, principle analyst at Newzoo. Compounded annually, Newzoo expects the market to grow 3.3% till 2027, compared with its earlier forecast of 3.7%. As 'GTA VI' is scheduled to launch in 2026, the industry will most likely see the boost from sales next year along with the release of other premium titles such as Capcom's 'Resident Evil Requiem.' The launch of 'GTA VI' on PC is also expected to carry growth through 2027, the report said. Price increases to Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation devices have sparked fears of slower hardware sales as consumers globally grapple with market uncertainty, even as Nintendo's Switch 2 became the company's fastest-selling console. 'Xbox generally is falling further behind on Xbox One, so there will be more sales to come but we don't expect big numbers… we expect that the lifetime units of PS5 will still slightly trail PS4,' Buijsman said. Xbox also unveiled its own handheld console, the Xbox Ally, earlier this month, developed in partnership with ASUS and set to launch in holidays 2025.
