It was previously confirmed that 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy would not be appearing in upcoming sequel 28 Years Later. Director Danny Boyle has confirmed that the actor will officially appear in the planned trilogy’s second installment.

28 Years Later brings the rage virus back to theaters on June 20, 2025. Its follow-up, Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, is slated to release in theaters on  January 16, 2026.

The third installment of the planned trilogy has yet to secure financing, which is where Cillian Murphy factors in.

“She gets a bit of Cillian at the end,” Boyle told Business Insider when speaking about DaCosta’s sequel. “All I can say is you have to wait for Cillian, but hopefully he will help us get the third film financed.”

Cillian Murphy played protagonist Jim in 28 Days Later back in 2002, a bicycle courier who ends up being one of the few survivors of the apocalyptic events of the hit infection movie. Boyle’s comments on the actor’s appearance in The Bone Temple suggest that Jim will play a much bigger role in the third installment if greenlit.

In 28 Years Later, “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.”

The horror sequel’s cast includes Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black), Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), ​Alfie Williams (“His Dark Materials”) and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).

Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation) returned alongside Boyle to write the script.

One of this year’s massive Hollywood success stories has been Ryan Coogler’s vampire epic Sinners, which sank its teeth into $350 million at the worldwide box office. That makes it one of the top 20 highest grossing horror movies of all time, and Sinners is now available at home!

For the first time ever, you can watch Sinners at home RIGHT NOW. You can rent the film on Digital outlets including Amazon for $19.99 or digitally purchase the movie for $24.99.

SteelBook, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions will follow on July 8.

Written and directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed), the critically acclaimed vampire horror film stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, they return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee), Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), Wunmi Mosaku (“Loki”), Jayme Lawson (The Batman), Omar Benson Miller (“CSI: Miami”), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) round out the incredible ensemble cast of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her 4-star review, “Coogler’s first foray into horror shows a keen understanding that the key ingredient to ensuring the scares land and the suspense leaves you on edge is making you care about the characters. It makes for one of the more satisfying third acts to come along in a while, continuing through the end credits and even post-credits.” 

“Music is a conduit in Sinners, making for an electric, lively first horror effort from Coogler,” Meagan’s review for Bloody Disgusting continues. “Here’s hoping it’s far from the last.”

This past Saturday, Rolling Roadshow brought the Jaws on the Water experience to IFC Films and Shudder’s Dangerous Animals, the shark horror meets serial killer thriller from The Loved Ones director Sean Byrne, and we lived to tell the tale.

Dangerous Animals swims into theaters on June 6 and follows a rebellious surfer caught by a serial killer who feeds his victims to sharks.

It’s a perfect plot, considering that Dangerous Animals’ Texas premiere had attendees watching the film while floating in themed inner tubes on Lake Travis at Volente Beach Waterpark.

While Lake Travis may not have actual sharks, those brave enough to venture into the water were vulnerable to divers moving under the water to deliver the perfect scare throughout the intense film. Quiet moments were often punctuated by an unexpected yelp from those grabbed by divers, ahead of collective cheers and gasps at some of Dangerous Animals’ more brutal surprises.

Ahead of the screening, Volente Beack Waterpark offered a variety of water slides, shark themed beverages and snacks, shark bite temporary tattoos, and photo opps that included hand painted posters, a shark sand sculpture, and a diving cage. 

Byrne and lead star Hassie Harrison, who plays nomadic surfer Zephyr, were in attendance to introduce the film.

When asked whether they’d encountered any marine life when filming in Australia, Harrison didn’t hesitate with an intense anecdote. “Alright, we’re not supposed to tell this story, but one of our stunt guys, while we had actors in the water, got pulled off the back of a jet ski. A bull shark bit his flipper, ripped him into the water, and death rattled him. That was the very first day of doing any of the stunts in water. I was like, ‘Holy crap, I’m in Australia now, baby! Let’s go!’”

“Something like that hadn’t happened for forty years on the Gold Coast. It was obviously trying to get cast as an extra,“ Byrne added.

For the record, real bull sharks do make an appearance in Byrne’s latest, but not quite in the way they encountered during production. The filmmaker previously explained to Bloody Disgusting that they employed real sharks but acquired footage that was composited.

“There are makos in there, bull sharks, tiger sharks, and the gray nurse as well. They’re all real sharks. Anytime you go underwater, it’s a real shark.“ Byrne stated. “Sometimes, we had to roto real sharks and put them in the water that we created. But the majority of the time, we’re actually using 4K footage of the water that the real sharks are in. We’re blending that with the real footage and making sure that the water matches in the grade. The only CG is the fins, which, originally, was going to be real footage as well.”

The immersive event concluded with a fireworks display, wrapping up an evening of communal shark horror fun. While Dangerous Animals on the Water was limited to its single screening on May 31, fans have multiple chances to experience the original event, Jaws on the Water, as well as the special 50th-anniversary event, Jaws in Concert on Martha’s Vineyard, later this month.

After crossing $200 million at the worldwide box office, the franchise’s first movie to hit that milestone, it looks like Final Destination Bloodlines is headed home later this month.

According to a report from Forbes tonight, which was shared on X by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, Final Destination Bloodlines will come home to Digital on June 17.

That would bring the film home almost exactly one month after it was released in theaters on May 16, 2025. Final Destination Bloodlines is still earning at the box office, scaring up another $10 million this past weekend, so be sure to experience it on the big screen while you can.

The newest chapter in New Line Cinema’s hit franchise is said to “take audiences back to the very beginning.” In the brand new sequel, “Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.”

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review here on Bloody Disgusting, “While it occasionally feels like a more watered-down version than its predecessors, at least in terms of lore, Final Destination Bloodlines does succeed in delivering enough summer horror fun with its outrageous deaths to appease movie goers seeking some blood-soaked escapism.”
