First Full Trailer for '28 Weeks Later' Online
Filed under: Action, Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and Sequels
If there's one thing that's more inevitable than a PG-13 remake of a classic horror flick, it's a sequel to an "out of nowhere" horror hit. And yes, I most definitely consider Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later to be (at least partially) a horror flick, although I have a few geek friends who love to argue about that. And we all know the drill by now: We hear that something called 28 Weeks Later is in production and we get really conflicted. On one hand, another dose of infected terror could be a real hoot; on the other, we really hate it when we see lame-o sequels spawned from really solid genre flicks.The good news is that, based on what I've seen and heard regarding 28 Weeks Later, we just might be in for a gruesome good time. And if you'd like a nifty little taste of what's in store for a post-apocalyptic London, then by all means check out this brand-new trailer for the sequel. (Before yesterday you could only see this clip if you went to see The Hills Have Eyes 2, and while it's a pretty good trailer, I don't really consider that a fair trade-off.) Helmed by Intacto director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the follow-up stars folks like Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau and Catherine McCormack and it opens wide on May 11.

I dunno... the whole thing that made the first one so great were the characters and them being thrust into a very very bizarre circumstance. The sequel doesn't seem to have the really unique characters the first one had. I mean, who cares about some kid?

Wow, that looks like a huge step down from the first film. I'm bummed out big time.
You mean you can't tell this looks like a "lame-o" sequel?

It looks decent. It doesn't have to be the same as the first one, in fact it shouldn't be. If all you want is the exact same characters and circumstances, just watch the first one again. This apparently shows some of the more epic apocalyptic scenes I'd wanted to see from the first one. Also, I can't get that song at the end of the trailer out of my head now. Anybody know what/who it is?
