Selena becomes the dominant member of the group, the toughest and least sentimental, enforcing a hard-boiled survivalist line. Good-hearted Jim would probably have died if he hadn't met her. Eventually they encounter two other survivors: A big, genial man named Frank Brendan Gleeson and his teenage daughter Hannah Megan Burns.
They're barricaded in a high-rise apartment, and use their hand-cranked radio to pick up a radio broadcast from an Army unit near Manchester. Should they trust the broadcast and travel to what is described as a safe zone? The broadcast reminded me of that forlorn radio signal from the Northern Hemisphere that was picked up in post-A-bomb Australia in "On the Beach.
This involves an extremely improbable sequence in which the taxi seems abler to climb over gridlocked cars in a tunnel, and another scene in which a wave of countless rats flees from zombies. Those surviving zombies raise the question: How long can you live once you have the virus? Since London seems empty at the beginning, presumably the zombies we see were survivors until fairly recently.
Another question: Since they run in packs, why don't they attack one another? That one, the movie doesn't have an answer for. The Manchester roadblock, which is indeed maintained by an uninfected Army unit, sets up the third act, which doesn't live up to the promise of the first two.
The officer in charge. Henry West Christopher Eccleston invites them to join his men at one of those creepy movie dinners where the hosts are so genial that the guests get suspicious. And then In the running Danny Boyle cast athletes as the zombies so you could "sense the power" within them.
Ryan Gosling nearly starred Ewan McGregor was the first choice for the main role and after that didn't work out, Ryan Gosling was the next choice but he had a scheduling conflict. Back story Naomie Harris and Danny Boyle worked out a back-story for her character that was never used in the film.
Zombie back flips James McAvoy auditioned for a role in the film, except it wasn't for the role he thought it was. Comic timing The film inspired a series of comics as well as a graphic novel called 28 Days Later: The Aftermath.

When Frank is infected at the military blockade near Manchester, the soldiers do not enter the story. Instead, Jim, Selena and Hannah are somehow able to restrain the infected Frank, hoping they will find a cure for the virus nearby as suggested in the radio broadcast. They soon discover that the blockade had protected a large medical research complex, the same one featured in the first scene of the film where the virus was developed.
Inside, the party is relieved to find a scientist self-barricaded inside a room with food and water. He won't open the door because he fears they will take his food, although he does admit that the "answer to infection is here. After hours of failed attempts to break through the door or coax the man out, Jim eventually brings Hannah to the door and explains Frank's situation. The scientist reluctantly tells them that Frank can only be cured with a complete blood transfusion, and supplies them with the necessary equipment.
After learning that he is the only match with Frank's blood type, Jim nobly sacrifices himself so that Frank can survive with his daughter. Just as his journey began, Jim is left alone in the abandoned medical facility, and Selena, Hannah and Frank move into the room with the scientist as a horde of Infected breach the complex.
Strapped to the table as the chimp had been in the opening scene, the computer monitors showing death and destruction come to life around a thrashing, infected Jim. Garland and Boyle explain that they conceptualized this ending to see what the film would be like if they did not expand the focus beyond the core four survivors.
They ultimately decided against it because the idea of a total blood replacement as a cure was not credible, especially because the film had already established that a single drop of blood is enough to infect a person. Boyle said in the DVD commentary that this ending "didn't make much sense" since one drop of blood can infect a person: "What would we do?
Drain him of blood and scrub his veins with bleach? There are six deleted scenes and one alternate scene from the film, which are available on the 2-Disc Limited Edition DVD release of the film. Additional footage of Jim walking through the streets of the abandoned city of London after waking from his coma. When Jim, Mark and Selena are walking on the Docklands Railway on their journey to Jim's house, they come across a wrecked hospital train and investigate.
Inside, Jim finds a mobile phone, but there is no reception, and Mark talks to him about how it feels knowing that nearly everyone else is dead. On Jim, Hannah, Frank and Selena's journey out of London and to Manchester, shortly before they enter the tunnel that goes under the Thames, a flyover with smashed and wrecked vehicles on it can be seen. The filmmakers never used the CGI effect to remove the moving traffic on the flyover; thus on the DVD, moving traffic is on it.
On their journey to Manchester, Jim, Selena and Hannah all take turns driving the cab and acting out the character of a talkative taxi driver.
In an alternate take of Private Jones' death, when he runs to the front of the Worsley House to flee the mansion, instead of being stabbed by Jim, he sees hundreds of Infected running across the mansion lawn towards the house. The Infected pour into the mansion, overwhelming and killing Jones.
Jim then sneaks into the house and around the Infected that are distracted with killing Jones. Also, when Major West returns to the mansion shortly after, the infected Clifton arrives and charges at West, forcing him to kill Clifton. Mitchell and a captive Selena, meanwhile, search for a safe room to hide in, but find the cellar swarming with Infected. West bolts a door shut to stop the Infected on the other side getting to him, and an infected woman comes up to the door and snarls through the glass at West.
While Jim searches Worsley House for Hannah and Selena, he hears the infected Mailer and Clifton approaching, and avoids them by hiding under the floorboards. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? View source. History Talk 0. Theatrical poster.
