[SPOILER] on their ’28 Years Later’ death and train scene with an infected

“Memento Mori.” Death is inevitable in a world ravaged by the infected, but this particular, Latin sentence to “remember, you must die”, sounds particularly poignant in 28 years later.

Director Danny Boyle and the last entry of the scriptwriter Alex Garland in the emblematic post-apocalyptic horror frankness focuses on the intrepid community (Alfie Williams), a young survivor part of a small community on the British island 28 years after the first wave of the rage virus ravaged the United Kingdom during an expedition in the continent with his father, Taylor-Johnon), Spike of his father (Aaron Taylor-Johnon), Spike de and Ecce Docteur enigmatic, Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), who would now be crazy. But Dr. Kelson could be the answer to the mystery disease that afflicts the mother’s bed in Spike, Isla (Jodie Comer), who suffers from debilitating memory and headache, among other symptoms.

He then revealed that Isla is dying of cancer. When Spike sneaks his mother on the continent – where new variants of the infected move – to find Dr. Kelson, they are surprised to find a man otherwise compassionate and warm living among a frightening temple of human bones, built to honor those who have perished. Isla makes the decision to put an end to her suffering, and it is Spike who places her mother’s remains at the top of one of the sanctuaries.

To comment, “I felt like there was a real agency in this choice,” said the star Weekly entertainment of the silent and powerful death of his character.

“You see the journey she makes in the film, not to mention what she has probably experienced in recent years – the kind of inner agitation and pain,” said Commer. “It is a very real thing that people come to a point of not wanting to experience it. And I think they are both comforted and detained by Kelson in this space.” Knowing that Spike is “agree at the moment,” adds Commer, “she wants to let go.”

“It is probably difficult for us to understand, but it was a complex moment,” continues to go. “Even with her trying to protect him, she refused a lot of him. And I think it is also a very relatable thing. I had that in my own life, when my parents hid me to try to help me, but in the long term, I wanted I had this information. So there is a lot of things in this beat, but I think it was ready.”

With death also comes life, and humanity is the line of the planned trilogy, should continue the future to come 28 years later: the bone temple. In a memorable scene before her death, Isla hears a distant cry, according to the sound on an abandoned train where she discovers an infected in the workplace. Yes, an infected speaker. The hands of human and infected locking in a moment of surreal connection, and Isla helps the infected to deliver a little girl not affected by the virus (who finds herself in the guard of Isla after the infected mother was killed as she rushes to attack Isla).

The scene “has the impression that this is only the beginning” of the place where the story will take place, says Commer. “This moment gives such a feeling of hope,” she notes. “It was an interesting moment for Isla because we leave her in this moment of lucidity, then she hears this cry. Danny and I imagined that there was something very essential inside what she connected through her own experience, and that is why she sinks and goes directly from where the sound comes from.”

It is a “very deep” moment, adds comer, because “any wall or segregation of infected, not infected, we and they are completely disabled … It’s a moment when we see Isla actually be a mother and take control of the situation. I can’t wait to see where this story leads.”

28 years later is in theaters now. The rest, The bone temple, should open its doors on January 16, 2026.
