Three members of the AFF then arrived at the Cambridge Primate Research Centre, where the infected chimps were being kept, to free them. At around the same time, a bicycle courier in London, named Jim, was hit by a car while delivering a package to Shaftsbury Avenue, and taken to hospital, where he slipped into a coma ( 28 Days Later (film)). Clive survived this suicide attempt and was taken to hospital, but was left comatose ( 28 Days Later: The Aftermath). Clive was so disgusted by this that he quit, and informed the Animal Freedom Front of the experimentation on chimps before shooting himself. However, some of the Ebola genomes that Clive and Warren had attempted to isolate reacted to the inhibitor, and the contagion and inhibitor mutated into the Rage Virus. Using this new delivery system, Clive and Warren exposed several chimpanzees to the inhibitor. They had decided that delivering widespread with a pill or an aerosol wouldn't do, so Warren decided to use the Ebola Virus as a delivery system. While Clive and Warren were burying the criminal at dawn, Clive sneezed, giving Warren an idea. Warren then decided that they should test the inhibitor on chimpanzees, as Clive had been suggesting all along. The criminal broke free and attacked Clive and Warren, forcing Warren to kill him. However, the injections of the inhibitor were too diluted, so Warren increased the dosage. Warren was able to get a contact at a police station and secure a violent criminal to test the inhibitor on. At first, they experimented on volunteers from the university, but as Cambridge University students obviously didn't have uncontrollable rage, Warren decided it was a waste of time. Two Cambridge University scientists named Clive and Warren were hired by an unknown company to develop an anger inhibitor that could end domestic and urban rage worldwide. 28 Days Later also spawned a graphic novel called 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, which expanded on the origins of the Rage virus and the timeline of the outbreak and a 2009-2011 comic book series of the same name, which continued the story of, and expanded on the backstory of, one of the main characters of the first film.Īttention this wiki does not show what is canonical and what is not.Ģ8 days later and weeks later (considered the canonical)Ģ8 aftermath 28 days later 28 selena comics and weeks. Following the film's success, a 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, was made like the previous film, it also garnered generally positive reaction from critics, and was a box office success. The original film was directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, and was a critical and commercial success. It revolves around the survivors of Rage - a fictional, bloodborne, highly contagious disease which turns its hosts into vicious, raging killers within seconds of infection - after the disease has decimated Great Britain. It's a solid 7.28 Days Later is a British post-apocalyptic horror franchise which consists of two films, a graphic novel, and a comic book series. This film has higher artistic/merit value than it does entertainment value (afterall, how entertaining can a movie about rehab be?). There are good performances by all, especially Steven Buscemi who plays his small role straight and somber. Instead, it was more subtle rather than over the top. It could have been so cliched (although there were a couple of unavoidable ones) and paint-by-numbers. In short, the best thing about the movie is what it wasn't. I guess the best thing to say is that she made a formula movie (girl bottoms out, girl resists rehab, girl comes to terms and embraces recovery) without boring us with the formula. There is very interesting camera work and flashback scenes that work very well. The pacing and amount of scene time seem just right. Betty Thomas also delivers another strong effort. It's certainly her best acting performance. She could have played this role in so many ways that would have been easy and predictable, but luckily she gave just the right amount of weight to her character. She's always been a very solid and dependable actress, but she gets to dig deeper here. This movie is all hers and she proves that while bubbly and energetic may be her niche, she can also be gritty and subtle to great effect. There is a little comedy thrown in the mix to keep things light at times (after all, rehab is a depressing subject), but the balance is about 80/20% in favor of drama. Don't be fooled by the advertisers and trailers, this movie is a drama. There are a lot of good things about 28 Days, especially from Sandra Bullock and Betty Thomas (Director).
