What happened 28 years after the release of the Fury Virus? British director Danny Boyle's horror saga, launched in 2002 with 28 Days Later and followed in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later, is finally getting a well-deserved third installment. After days and weeks, the chronology of the new feature film is counted in years. 28 Years Later will debut in French theaters on June 18th, the occasion for Columbia Pictures to unveil a new trailer, even more bloody and terrifying.
