A recent test screening for 28 years later: The Bone Temple He threw some exciting light about what the director Nia dacosta is bringing to the table with this sequel a 28 years later.
Following the mixed results at the box office of Danny Boyle’s He returns to the franchise at the beginning of this year, this follow-up could be exactly what Sony needs to keep the dream of the trilogy alive.
While 28 years later He earned strong reviews, his global vision of $ 150 million of a $ 60 million budget left Sony Pictures uncertain about the lighting of the third scheduled episode. Insert Dacosta, who may have just changed the tide.
According to a World of Reel report, the testing of the test went incredibly well, with “multiple breaks during the film”. A spectator even declared: “I thought that part 1 was exceptional, but this exceeded it”.
This is an exciting statement, above all given the divisive introduction of Jack O’ConnellJimmy’s character, whose debut 28 years later It was … intense and interesting, to not say anything else. This time, however, apparently is stealing the show as the villain, with the site that defines it as the “performance of the villain of the year”.
The report states: “The central dynamics is essentially a duel between the bone Shriner of O’Connell and Ralph Fiennes, Dr. Ian Kelson, who has a wider role than the first episode and offers a performance that is” even better “than the previous film”.
As for the ending, wait for something enormous. According to reports, the third act includes a sequence “which will be discussed for most of 2026”. Praised is also a screenwriter’s work Alex Garlandwhose script seems to raise the horror and psychological depth of the series.
Dacosta is also for a different visual approach. Unlike Boyle’s portable aesthetic, he embraced a more traditional shooting style, which could make this more cinematic and less gritty feel.
Unfortunately, fans hope for more Cillian Murphy It can be disappointed. It is expected to appear only briefly in The bone temple. But Boyle knows how to exploit that stellar power.
“[Nia] In the end he gets a little Cillian, “he said at the beginning of this summer.” Everything I can say is that you have to wait Cillian, but I hope you help us get the third financed film “.
Boyle added: “promise [the studio] Cillian Murphy, this is a real deflection of any technical concern, soon forget. Yes, we used it naked to make their way. Which better promise could you do? “
He continued, “we still don’t have the money for the third. It will depend on how the first does, I imagine. But I hope that if we do well, they will give us the go-ahead for the money and for the third. Everyone is standing for this, really. Including Cillian.”
In 28 years later, We saw how humanity was facing decades of life in a world devastated by the anger virus. Set on a quarantine island linked to the mainland by a single highly defense -raised road, the story follows a survivor that ventures again in the mainland and discovers dark and changed secrets on the infects and people who remain.
It remains to be seen if the zombies can still bring the public back to cinemas. But if Sony can launch The bone temple With a slightly more mainstream charm, this could be the shot in the arm that the franchise needs.
