The First Trailer for ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Expands the Zombie-Infested World

If the first trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was just the words “Aren’t you excited you only had to wait three months to see this footage?” it would be enough. The fact is, in modern Hollywood, it’s incredibly rare for a movie to come out in June and for its sequel to be heading to theaters six months later, in January. But that’s what happened with 28 Years Later and its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will be out January 16, 2026. And, lucky for us, the trailer is mu

Before that, in Libya, I used to buy pirated movies on CDs, or download them from illegal websites. Even the Libyan government got in on the piracy racket, illegally packaging the Arabic-speaking Disney channel along with 19 others and selling it just for 150 Libyan dinars.
