28 Years Later: All You Need to Know About 28 Days Later Sequel Including Rage Virus, Release Date, Main Cast and More
Danny Boyle is set to return to the screens with the sequel to 28 Days Later. The movie, which is titled 28 Years Later, will give a glimpse into the post-apocalyptic world after the first film of the franchise was released nearly 23 years ago. 28 Years Later is one of the highly anticipated movies and will bring an emotional depth and visceral horror blend for the audience to experience. Storyline, Cast and more As for the upcoming film of the 28 Days Later sequel, the story will be based during the quarantine in Britain, where the survivors will be living off a remote island near the northeast coast. With the low tide entering the scene and opening the pathways to the mainland, the island has been compromised by the infected beings evolving, making it fearful for the survivors. For the plot further, the official synopsis of the movie reads, 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected.' It further states, 'One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected but other survivors as well.' The critics have been praising the film, calling it a thoughtful piece, perfectly balanced between the mourning and survival. As for the cast members, The movie will star Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Edvin Ryding, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Erin Kellyman, among others. Apart from its promising storyline, 28 Years Later will also look into the evolution of Zombies. Unlike the other film franchise, Boyle's directorial will look into ground-crawling infected and swift, brutal "Alpha" mutants that add a new threat for the characters. Moreover, the cinematography is something to watch out for in the film. The scenes are shot with iPhones mounted on the camera rigs to capture the beauty of the landscapes and the chaos of attacks. 28 Years Later is set to hit theaters on June 20.

Kevin Jonas couldn't raise his daughters without the support of his wife
Kevin Jonas couldn't raise his daughters without the support of his wife. The 37-year-old pop star grew up with brothers, Joe, 35, and Nick, 32, and found fame with them as part of a pop trio in the late 2000s but admitted on Father's Day (15.06.25) that being father to girs Alena, 11, and eight-year-old Valentina with his wife Danielle is very much an "unknown territory" to him. He told E! News: "It's really special, but it's also unknown territory for me, which is why I sometimes respond and react to situations like it would have been with boys. Then my wife looks at me like, 'No, the exact opposite of what you're doing, we need to do that!' "I could not do it without her. She's the guiding light in our family." Along with his brothers, Nick made several appearances on the Disney Channel at the height of his fame and revealed that their movie Camp Rock - which also starred Demi Lovato and first aired on the network in 2008 - is a favourite of theirs, as is fellow musical franchise Zombies. "They love Camp Rock. "Camp Rock is huge. It's just not as big as Descendants or, especially now, Zombies. "Zombies is coming out with their new movie in June and I know this because I'm a huge girl dad, who's gonna bring them to the concert tour and do the whole thing." Nick then revealed that his daughters recently filmed an upcoming Christmas special with him and that his eldest seems set to follow in his footsteps, but insisted that he will never "push" her to do so. He said: "They're actually in the film, and they had a really good time. "My oldest daughter definitely started to do the thing. She started to see what it's like on set. She said to me, 'I really want to be an actress.' "She really enjoyed it, but I will never push them to do it.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 leak hints at return of 2 iconic zombies maps
The undead are rising again, and this time, they might be crawling out of two of the most iconic maps in Call of Duty Zombies history. If the latest insider leaks are true, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is gearing up for a nostalgic trip back to where it all went off the rails: TranZit and Mob of the Dead . Here's everything we know about the rumor so far A New Era of Black Ops Zombies ? Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is already generating serious buzz ahead of its release later this year. The return of David Mason, the psychological thriller-style campaign, and a full-blown round-based Zombies mode have fans on high alert. But what really shook the community? A trusted insider @TheGhostOfHope just teased the return of two legendary Zombies maps: TranZit and Mob of the Dead . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now TranZit: Love It or Hate It, It's Back First introduced in Black Ops 2 , TranZit was ambitious. It was messy, chaotic, and borderline broken at times. But it was also one of the most innovative Zombies maps ever created — spanning multiple zones connected by a ramshackle bus and fog-filled danger zones. Now, rumors suggest TranZit will be reimagined for Black Ops 7. Not just polished — expanded. Think bigger, smoother traversal, fewer interruptions, and updated visuals worthy of next-gen platforms. It could become the largest Zombies map in CoD history if the speculation holds true. Mob of the Dead: A Second Return? Mob of the Dead was a masterpiece set in Alcatraz — haunting, atmospheric, and brutally difficult. It already saw a revival as Blood of the Dead in Black Ops 4. So why bring it back again? Well, fans are divided. Some feel it's too soon. Others believe this could be a chance to revisit the prison in a totally fresh way, especially since the BO7 teaser trailer briefly showed what looked like a prison block. Whether it's a full-scale return or a new twist, it's clear Activision knows how to tug on the nostalgic heartstrings. BLACK OPS 7 ZOMBIES TEASER: MOB OF THE DEAD AND TRANZIT, PRIMIS LEAKS, & MORE Why It Matters These rumored returns aren't just fan service. They signal a direction. Treyarch could be aiming to blend the old with the new by creating a Zombies mode that respects the past while pushing the format forward. If done right, Black Ops 7 could become the title that finally unifies the fractured Zombies community, bringing veterans and new players together for a wild, undead ride. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While Activision hasn't confirmed anything yet, the buzz around TranZit and Mob of the Dead is very real. With a full reveal expected this summer and a release planned for later this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 might just be the ultimate comeback for Zombies fans. Keep your eyes on the shadows. The bus might be rolling out soon, and it's not stopping for anyone.

Danny Boyle & eating brains: 10 zombie movies worth resurrecting
There was a time there when you couldn't turn around without stumbling over zombies. Maybe they'd be fighting cockneys or Jane Austen heroines (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; it's possible I am the only person in the world who quite liked it) or Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Pegg and Frost aside, the result wasn't always appetising. It's fair to say that most zombie movies are hardly worth consuming. But what are the ones worth making a feast of? Here are 10 worth revisiting. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live with Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln (Image: AMC) I Walked With a Zombie Jacques Tourneur, 1943 Producer Val Lewton's 1940s low-budget films - often made in conjunction with the director Jacques Tourneur - are a high point in horror cinema - literate, beautifully crafted nightmare movies that both shock and seduce. Despite the come-on of the title this one is a seduction; a dreamy, eerie reinvention of Jane Eyre that weaves voodoo lore into the story. It may be the most beautiful zombie movie; admittedly there isn't a lot of competition. Night of the Living Dead George Romero, 1968 The first zombie movie is generally regarded to be White Zombie, Victor Halperin's 1932 horror film starring Bela Lugosi as a zombie master and often read as an allegory for slavery. But it was George Romero's black and white shocker that really kickstarted the zombie genre as we know it today. Stark, brutal and shockingly nihilistic, it's a take on racial politics in 1960s America - with a black hero at its heart - that opened up the idea of the nightmare movie as a form of social commentary, as subsequently pursued by David Cronenberg, Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper. Romero's movie - and its two increasingly bleak sequels - is the foundation for all that followed. Shaun of the Dead (Image: free) Shaun of the Dead Edgar Wright, 2004 So dangerously overfamiliar now, it might be hard to recall just how fresh and funny this felt at the time. It posits the notion that we wouldn't notice the arrival of a zombie apocalypse because no one watches the news anymore. Presumably it would be all over Twitter now. And we'd assume it was fake news. Zombie Flesh Eaters Lucio Fulci, 1979 Inspired by George Romero, Italian exploitation cinema became rather taken with zombies during the 1970s and 1990s, usually with much, much more blood and gore (our cover star Rupert Everett even appeared in one, Cemetery Man). The apotheosis - or maybe its opposite - came with this gruesome film which was banned as a video nasty in the UK. It is often deeply unpleasant and yet there are moments of surrealist grandeur, most notably when Fulci has one of his zombies fight a shark. The result is one of the stupidest yet most memorable moments in the history of scary movies. Return of the Living Dead from 1984 (Image: free) Return of the Living Dead Dan O'Bannon, 1984 A kind of sequel to Romero's Night of the Living Dead, but played for gory laughs to a punk soundtrack. Combine a cemetery, a zombie-inducing gas, the brain-hungry undead and cartoon punks and the result is the apocalypse replayed as a cartoon. According to my TIme Out Film Guide (fifth edition, 1997), 'matters conclude, anti-dramatically, with the death of civilised life as we know it.' Snicker, snicker. One Cut of the Dead Shin'ichiro Ueda, 2019 This is a low-budget, high-idea Japanese zombie comedy. And the less you know about it going in the better. Let's just say it contains a 37-minute continuous shot and it's all very meta in the very best way. Who said zombie movies can't be smart? Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later (Image: unknown) 28 Days Later Danny Boyle, 2002 The first in the trilogy that continues with the release of 28 Years Later this month, 28 Days Later popularised the idea of the fast-moving zombie (they had already been seen in 1980 in Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City, although there might be some dispute as to whether the affected hordes were actually zombies in that movie). But, really, what lingers in the memory is not the zombie sequences which are effective but not overwhelming. No, it's the early sequences in which CIllian Murphy, newly awakened from a coma, wanders around a deserted, demolished London; a vision straight out of a John Wyndham sci-fi novel. 28 Years Later is in cinemas on Thursday Read more The Girl With All the Gifts Colm McCarthy, 2016 Why did this not launch its Scottish director Colm McCarthy into the world of big budget movies? This fantastically staged film captures the gruesomeness and the world-building imagination to be found in M R Carey's original novel. (Like 28 Days Later, its reimagination of a post-apocalyptic London is rich and strange). Is there anything, the film asks, still human about its central character, the zombie child Melanie? It is a question zombie movies have seemed to grow bored of over the years (it's easier to just treat them as targets in video game-style films such as The Rezort). But it's the only one that matters. Train to Busan (Image: unknown) Train to Busan Yeon Sang-Ho, 2016 Easy pitch, this. Zombies on a train. This South Korean thriller is a Big Dipper of a movie, one that eschews the portentiousness of World War Z but isn't afraid of some cutting social satire on Korean society. But it works because it never forgets to scare and to thrill. Probably the most edge-of-the-seat movie in this list. Anna and the Apocalypse John McPhail, 2017 I can't be the only person who likes this, can I? Yes, it's a weird Scottish-set movie in which hardly any of the cast is Scottish. Yes, there's a big role for Paul (Dennis Pennis) Kaye. And he even gets to sing in it. (Oh, did I not mention it's a Christmas zombie comedy musical? No? Well, I have now.) But, even so, it's a lot of fun. The performances are always enthusiastic, even when they're not subtle, the choreography is neatly done and the songs - by Tommy Reilly and Roddy Hart - are well up to the mark. The result is High School Musical meets Zombieland. But, you know, filmed in Port Glasgow.
