Jodie Comer was shocked by how "moved" she was by 28 Years Later.

The 32-year-old actress stars in Danny Boyle's new post-apocalyptic movie as Isla and has explained that she found that the "family dynamic" at the centre of the zombie horror flick was unexpectedly emotional.

Jodie told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's London premiere on Wednesday (18.06.25) night: "It's horror, but I was struck by how moved I was. There was so much levity. The script felt rich and also really at the centre of it is this family dynamic, this relationship between mother and son, which is not your usual relationship."

The Bikeriders actress - who stars in the movie alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams - added: "It was amazing to be led by Danny.

"Selfishly, to work with Danny Boyle... I'm never going to shoot a film like this. It's been the most incredible experience."

The picture is the third instalment in the 28 Days Later franchise and Boyle felt that he could take "real risks" with the movie as it has been 23 years since the original film was released and technology has improved substantially since.

The Trainspotting helmer said: "Because 23 years had passed, it felt like we could take real risks with it.

"And our ambition was to try and make as an original film as the first one was when it came out... The upgrades on the infected are a privilege to film and to witness.

"I think people will enjoy the upgrades."
