28 Days Later Set for Digital Release

The horror classic 28 Days Later will finally be available for digital purchase and rental on December 18, 2024, after being unavailable online for years due to rights issues. This announcement coincides with the immense excitement surrounding the sequel, 28 Years Later, whose trailer has become the second most-watched horror trailer of all time, amassing over 60 million views. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the original film, released in 2002, starred Cillian Murphy and has remained culturally significant despite its absence from digital platforms. The sequel, set to be released in theaters on June 20, 2025, features a new cast alongside Murphy, including Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer. This digital release is seen as a significant move for fans who have long awaited access to the film, which has only been available through physical copies. The return of 28 Days Later is expected to reignite interest in the franchise ahead of the upcoming sequel.
