I’m now actively looking forward to this movie. Who would have thunk?
I still think that making this a sequel to 28 Days Later is silly. This movie is obviously going to be very different than the “original”. Most obviously, the visual styles are worlds apart. The first movie used, to great effect, a dark, grainy, digital look. The new one goes for a very crisp, very bright visual. Which is an odd choice for a Zombie movie.
Still, this movie might be able to stand on it’s own as a worthy addition to the Zombie genre. My main worry right now is that the trailer spends too much time with the military, and not enough with the family which we will supposedly accompany during the movie. Hopefully the actual film keeps the amount of scenes away from the family to a minimum and concentrates those in the beginning, before the infection breaks.
28 Weeks Later opens may 11.
