Sony Pictures has announced that a new trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will be with us next week with the release of a new poster for Nia DaCosta's horror sequel.
The one-sheet features the movie's leads, including Jack O'Connel's Sir Jimmy Crystal, who we met along with his crew of Jimmy Saville-impersonators in the closing moments of Danny Boyle's previous film when they came to the aid of Spike (Alfie Williams) after the lad found himself surrounded by a swarm of Infected.
The artwork also spotlights Doctor Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) and the Alpha Infected known as Sampson (Chi Lewis-Parry), who will seemingly form some kind of bond in the movie.
Based on what we saw in the first trailer, Jimmy and his gang will make their way to the temple, which means they will likely decide to target Kelson at some point in the movie.
“The thing that connects the two [movies] is that they’re both bonkers, idiosyncratic, and very artistically personal works,” DaCosta told Rolling Stone in a recent interview “My big pitch when I was talking to the producers, including Danny and Alex, before I came on was, ‘I’m going to make this my own. I’m not going to try to make a Danny Boyle movie.’ Because that’s impossible to make. He’s so special. And it didn’t really interest me. It’s so hard to describe the tone of the movie that I actually won’t even attempt to. But it keeps the same unique, off-the-wall, surprising energy.”
O’Connell describes Jimmy as “extremely dark and twisted,” noting that when you see the character as a child in the previous movie, “you see what he bears witness to. That plants an early seed for what he becomes. We’re in an apocalyptic world, and evil and darkness are two of the forces that have been able to still exist, and he revels in them.”
A brief synopsis reads: Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship with consequences that could change the world as he knows it, while Spike's encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can't escape.
