Sony Pictures has released a cryptic and initially somewhat confusing teaser trailer for the upcoming zombie apocalypse movie 28 YEARS LATER.
The trailer, lasting thirteen seconds, features a mostly blank black screen with Morse code audio playing in the background. This is accompanied by some sound effects, flashes of a bleak-looking island connected by a long land bridge, creepy statue-like figures, and graphics of red skulls and red contamination symbols dotted throughout.
The YouTube video has no movie title or description, only an S.O.S emoji, leaving room for some initial confusion, unless viewers first encountered the trailer on the film’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.
Watch the trailer:
The upcoming film is the long-awaited third installment in the 28 DAYS LATER film series. The franchise began with the critically acclaimed 28 DAYS LATER in 2002, followed by its sequel 28 WEEKS LATER in 2007.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the films official desciption — “Sometime after the events of 28 WEEKS LATER, the Rage Virus has returned, and a group of survivors must survive in a world ravaged by hordes of the infected.”
Directed by Danny Boyle, who helmed the original 28 DAYS LATER movie, the film stars Cillian Murphy, reprising his role from the original. The cast also includes Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, and Edvin Ryding.
