CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Quarantine. Eradication. Sterilization. Repopulation. The terror and devastation unleashed in the groundbreaking horror masterpiece 28 Days Later picks up six months after the Rage virus has decimated London in 28 Weeks Later, the heart-stopping zombie horror sequel that “surpasses the original” (Dallas Morning News). Months after the deadly outbreak annihilated the British Isles leaving only a handful of survivors, the army declares the war against the infection has been won and the reconstruction of the country slowly begins; but as the first wave of refugees returns, the deadly infection resurfaces without warning, and this time – it is more dangerous than ever!
One of the best reviewed horror films in years, 28 Weeks Later was praised by top critics as “genuine horror” (Wall Street Journal), “swift, vicious and imaginative” (Chicago Tribune), “frantically paced and maddeningly tense” (San Francisco Examiner) and a “deeply unsettling film” (USA Today) that “trumps its predecessor” (The Village Voice). Directed by stylish filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (Intacto) and executive produced by the original film’s director Danny Boyle, 28 Weeks Later stars Robert Carlyle (Eragon, The Full Monty), Rose Byrne (Sunshine, Troy), Jeremy Renner (Dahmer, North Country), Harold Perrineau (“Lost”), Catherine McCormack (Braveheart, Spy Game), Imogen Poots (V for Vendetta) and Idris Elba (The Wire).
The 28 Weeks Later DVD features numerous spine-chilling bonus features including over 13 minutes of deleted scenes, three behind-the-scenes featurettes, director commentary plus an exclusive “28 Days Later: The Aftermath” flash-animated segments, based on the new Fox Atomic Comics graphic novel bridging the storyline between the two films. 28 Weeks Later will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada. In addition, Fox Home Entertainment will also release a special 28 Days / Weeks Later Two-Pack Collection featuring both films packaged together at the low price of $34.98 U.S. / $45.98 Canada.
