Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Fiennes To Star In ‘28 Years Later’ For Danny Boyle And Sony Pictures
deadline.com/2024/04/28-years-later-movie-aaron-taylor-johnson-jodie-comer-ralph-fiennes-1235894028/
Quick Glance: 28 Years Later: Cast Revealed with Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes
- Sony Pictures' work on 28 Years Later is progressing, as Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have all signed up to join Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s post-apocalyptic follow-up, according to Deadline.
- The three stars are now attached to the first of a planned three-movie run for the franchise. Details about their roles remain undisclosed at this time.
- Fiennes, Comer, and Taylor-Johnson each possess enough star power to carry their own films. Fiennes is best known for his roles in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Schindler’s List, but also made a name for himself as an intimidating head chef and as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter movies. Taylor-Johnson has appeared in numerous superhero films and is allegedly a top candidate to take on James Bond. Comer has a significant presence in Killing Eve and has also been in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel and Ryan Reynolds-led Free Guy.
- 28 Years Later aims to bring the three stars together to narrate a story penned by Garland and directed by Boyle. However, the trio is only committed to the initial installment, leaving their return for future films uncertain. A second film in what could be a 28 Years Later trilogy is already confirmed, with Nia DaCosta as the favored choice to direct. The filming plan involves shooting both movies consecutively.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
- ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.
- TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.
- ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.
- After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.
