I haven't seen this movie yet, but I'm getting it for Christmas. I can't wait!! I've heard so many good things about it, it isn't funny. The guy behind the counter in the video store couldn't stop raving about it when my mother bought the DVD. I've also seen news about "Easter Eggs" on the DVD. Sorry to go off-topic, but I hope this is a sign that Sunshine's DVD will have some, too! ;D IMDb link

I LOVE '28 Days Later'. I went to see it in the cinema when it first came out knowing very little about it... I was terrified. It stuck with me for ages. I'd be on the Underground in London and '28 Days Later' would pop into my head 'What if it happened right now'... My husband is a physicist and it's often very difficult to watch 'scary' films with scientists because they are less capable of suspending their disbelief than I am. I remember watching 'The Blair Witch Project' with a bio-physicist friend of mine. Afterwards I was so scared I could literally hardly move, whereas he just said, 'That couldn't happen.'... but '28 Days Later' was a completely different story. We watched it on DVD with one of my husband's physicist friends who was totally and utterly frightened by it purely *because* it was, in part, actually possible. When I first met Alex Garland I told him what an achievement it was to have written a film which scared scientists... and also how the film still haunts my Underground journeys... '28 Weeks Later' has finished filming now and will be out in 2007... In the script I read there was a scene which takes place in the Underground...

Speaking of 28 Weeks Later, that would be a great thread to make for this category! Rose Byrne fans would appreciate it, too.

'28 Weeks Later' has finished filming now and will be out in 2007... In the script I read there was a scene which takes place in the Underground... I've always wondered why they didn't have any "Tube fun" in 28DL-- images of infected boiling up the stairs onto the streets and all that. I'm currently researching a fan-fic sequel-to-a-sequel to 28DL, and there's plenty of city-under-the-city London action in the works.... That said, I can't say I'm all that thrilled-- at all-- about the idea of 28WL. Sounds a whole lot like "Whoops-- we broke it again!"-- only with MORE STUFF. Y'know: More infected. More victims. More guns. Sigh. (And if it REALLY does open with that "Channel massacre" scene: ick. Just plain ick.) Conversely: less Jim and Selena and Hannah-- frankly, I don't care to drum up new emotional commitment to this franchise, after the superb grilling Danny Boyle gave us in the first one. Also-- yeah, I'm ranting now-- it's being produced by Fox's "youth division," which to this old bat has "video game" written all over it, Robert Carlyle's emoting aside. So you folks run on ahead; think I'm giving this one a miss. Re: the Easter eggs. From what I read on a site specializing in such things (I'm not clever enough to find 'em on my own!), they're the endings not included on the menu on the Region One disk. The one ending (if it is in fact there) is VERY intense and VERY sad; the other ending is very WHAAAAT--?!?

The first Cillian Murphy film I ever saw was Red Eye but almost immediately I decided to run out and get my grubby little hands on anything and everything he'd ever done. The first Cillian (and consequently, the first Danny Boyle) film I ever bought was 28 Days Later. I was so, so afraid to watch it because I thought it was going to keep me up for weeks (I have a serious problem with watching scary movies, LOL), but then when I finally watched it (in the middle of the day, thank you very much), I was more fascinated by it than anything. I can still remember that one wide shot of Jim walking through a deserted London and being absolutely FLOORED at how beautiful it was.

This was the movie that actually made me wonder who is that handsome guy with those amazing blue eyes. This is such a good movie with so many remarkable scenes like the one Amanda mentioned. It also carry a message an important one i think, and this is what makes it different then other sci fi/ horror movies.

I'm thinkin' Sunshine might have a deep message to it, too. Afterall, it involves the earth and every living thing on it (not to mention other planets).

Actually, talking about Sunshine doesn't belong here, but it's okay if mici does it. *Brittany, I will have to have a word with you!* LOL! JK
Update: Brittany and I are going to watch 28 Days Later tomorrow...night. We'll be with family, of course. Let's hope they are enough for comfort....
