A few days before the highly anticipated 28 Years Later hits cinemas<\/a>, fans of the franchise can catch up on the movie that came before.<\/p>\n

In 2002 Danny Boyle and Alex Garland\u2019s post-apocalyptic horror movie 28 Days Later<\/a> was released.<\/p>\n

Inspired by George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead film series and John Wyndham’s 1951 novel The Day of the Triffids, it starred Cillian Murphy <\/a>as a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to discover that the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society.<\/p>\n

After being made on a budget of $8 million (\u00a35.8 million), the film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $84.6 million (\u00a362 million).<\/p>\n

Five years later it was followed by the standalone sequel 28 Weeks Later, which starred Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Idris Elba.<\/p>\n

Set after the events of the first film, it followed \u2018the efforts of United States-led NATO forces to establish a safe zone in London, the consequence of two young siblings breaking protocol to find a photograph of their mother, and the resulting reintroduction of the Rage Virus into the safe zone\u2019.<\/p>\n
