Nia DaCosta<\/strong>\u00a0(Candyman) takes over as director for 28 Years Later:\u00a0<\/strong>The Bone Temple<\/strong><\/a>, a sequel to Danny Boyle\u2019s 28 Years Later that will release in theaters on January 16, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The titular bone temple is a primary location in Danny Boyle\u2019s trilogy-starter, and the title of DaCosta\u2019s sequel suggests we\u2019ll returning to that location. The final minutes of\u00a028 Years Later\u00a0also suggest that\u00a0The Bone Temple will focus on Jack O\u2019Connell\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cSir Jimmy Crystal\u201d and his merry band of evil-doers, with young hero Spike (Alfie Williams<\/strong>) also returning.<\/p>\n

Cillian Murphy\u2019s<\/strong> character from 28 Days Later is also expected to make an appearance in The Bone Temple, which we know very little about at this time<\/a>. One other thing we do know is that Alex Garland<\/strong> wrote the script, and it was that script that brought DaCosta on board.<\/p>\n

Nia DaCosta said at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this week (via THR<\/a>), \u201cMaking the 28 Years Later sequel was one of the best filmmaking experiences I\u2019ve had. One of the issues I had with\u00a0Candyman\u00a0and\u00a0Marvels\u00a0was the lack of a really solid script, which is always gonna just wreak havoc on the whole process<\/strong>. But Alex Garland hands you a script, and you\u2019re like, \u2018This is amazing.\u2019 You don\u2019t really have to change it, although I did. I basically asked for more infected.<\/strong> [Laughs.] That was, like, my big contribution<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI inherited an amazing cast, then I was given the leeway to cast the rest of the\u00a0film,\u201d DaCosta notes. \u201cThere were a couple locations I inherited. I was given leeway to develop all the other locations. Some of it overlapped, like the character Samson \u2014 Danny and I would collaborate a bit on the look, but at the end of the day, Danny shoots so different from the way I shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for much more on The Bone Temple in the coming months.<\/p>\n
