Warning: Full spoilers travel for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
The 4th movie successful the 28 Days Later franchise, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple serves arsenic a nonstop sequel to past year’s 28 Years Later (whew, that’s a batch of times saying “28” and “Later” already!), picking up close connected the heels of that film. Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by bid creator Alex Garland, the terrific movie builds to a memorable finale, arsenic Ralph Fiennes’ Dr. Ian Kelson and Jack O'Connell’s Jimmy Crystal travel look to face. Both men person reacted to beingness successful this post-apocalyptic Britain – decimated by a zombie-like rage microorganism – successful precise utmost ways, but wherever Ian has done what helium tin to grant the dormant with his intimidating yet meaningful Bone Temple, Jimmy has embraced unit and madness. He has declared that helium is the lad of the Devil himself (or “Old Nick” arsenic helium calls him), torturing and sidesplitting different survivors helium encounters alongside the prime fewer helium recruits arsenic his followers, who are each forced to instrumentality connected the sanction Jimmy arsenic well.
Ian plays on with Jimmy’s menace to really unreal to beryllium the Devil to his radical of Jimmys, lest helium beryllium killed, successful an perfectly fantastic manner, with 1 hellhole of a show acceptable to Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast.” But erstwhile Ian sees Spike (Alfie Williams) – the lad helium befriended successful the erstwhile movie – has been forced to articulation Jimmy, helium attempts to assistance him, starring to a deadly bid of events successful speedy succession. Ian is fatally stabbed by Jimmy earlier Jimmy is turned connected by some Spike and “Jimmy Ink,” a follower really named Kelly (Erin Kellyman), who had grown progressively dubious astir his leader’s claims.
As Ian succumbs to his injuries, Kelly and Spike enact their revenge connected Jimmy, with Spike stabbing him, and the 2 of them leaving the would-be lad of the Devil crucified to the Bone Temple and hanging upside down. The past we spot of Jimmy is his POV arsenic 1 of the rage-infected lunges astatine him. Although thing is possible, for present it’s harmless to see that Jimmy is dormant fixed helium had nary much allies and nary mode to support himself…though I accidental it’s ever imaginable helium was simply infected himself.
Regardless, determination is inactive plentifulness near up successful the aerial for the adjacent movie successful the franchise, which is present successful the works. That starts with The Bone Temple’s coda, successful which we spot Spike and Kelly from afar arsenic they effort to debar being grabbed by the infected portion a begetter and girl are watching and getting acceptable to measurement successful to assistance them.
So let’s get to our large questions for the adjacent 28 Years Later film, kicking disconnected with the large ones centering astir that dada successful the last scene. He’s not a marque caller character; that’s Jim, with Cillian Murphy reprising his breakout relation arsenic the pb successful the archetypal 28 Days Later! As Danny Boyle (director of the archetypal and 3rd films successful the franchise, and a shaper connected them all) confirmed himself galore months ago, Murphy’s cameo successful The Bone Temple is mounting up Jim’s instrumentality successful a large mode successful the adjacent installment. And yeah, “Jim” is 1 of the series’ heroes, and “Jimmy” is 1 of its villains, which is simply a spot funny…but specified is life!
Was Jim Never Rescued?
The last country of The Bone Temple features the instrumentality of Cillian Murphy arsenic Jim for the archetypal clip since 2002’s archetypal 28 Days Later. In the scene, Jim and his recently introduced daughter, Sam (Maiya Eastmond), are seen successful a location that is rapidly confirmed to beryllium wrong the quarantined Britain, meaning they inactive request to unrecorded a guarded beingness successful the midst of the infected. But this begs the question of what precisely happened aft 28 Days Later’s closing moments, successful which Jim and his friends unfurl a elephantine banner speechmaking “HELLO” arsenic a level flies overhead, hopeful that whoever is successful the level sees them and that their rescue is imminent. Though these characters didn’t instrumentality successful the archetypal sequel, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, that film’s opening – successful which we spot a wide rescue and rebuilding effort was made successful the aftermath of the archetypal onslaught of the infected – made it casual to presume Jim’s radical would so person been brought to (temporary) safety.
So what’s the deal? Did whoever was successful the level not really spot that banner and alert connected by? Did they spot it and conscionable not attraction to help? Or were Jim and the others successful information rescued, lone to past get trapped erstwhile much erstwhile the corruption broke retired again successful 28 Weeks Later? Also, it’s been truthful agelong that you person to wonderment if Jim ever joined up with a larger radical again, oregon conscionable stuck to those helium was already adjacent to. After all, the last enactment of dialog successful The Bone Temple, aft Jim’s girl asks him if they should assistance Spike and Kelly, is him replying: “Of people we do.” This would bespeak he’s stepped successful to assistance others passim these 28 years, but the astir pressing questions regarding Jim’s companionship centers connected those we past saw with him..
Where Are Selena and Hannah?
The lone idiosyncratic we spot surviving with Jim successful The Bone Temple is his daughter, truthful wherever is this girl’s mom, and however grim is the answer? Though we’re not explicitly told arsenic much, that ma could beryllium Selena from 28 Days Later, who was played by Naomie Harris successful her breakout relation (seriously, Danny Boyle had immoderate spot-on casting with those 2 leads). So wherefore isn’t she with them? And what astir Hannah (Megan Burns), the then-teenage miss Jim and Selena bonded with and protected aft the decease of her father, Frank (Brendan Gleeson)? She was past seen surviving with Jim and Selena astatine the extremity of 28 Days Later, helping them unfurl that banner.
Given the unrelentingly unsafe satellite these characters beryllium in, it’s surely casual to presume some Selena and Hannah died tragically successful the decades since. But we get specified a speedy look astatine Jim’s existent life, there’s plentifulness of country for different circumstances. Hell, it could beryllium arsenic elemental arsenic some women being retired hunting oregon uncovering supplies erstwhile the last country of The Bone Temple takes place. Or possibly Selena was doing that benignant of activity, but Hannah did dice astatine immoderate point, oregon possibly it’s vice versa. Or possibly Hannah separated from Jim and Selena astatine immoderate point, for immoderate reason, and is retired determination determination with a antithetic group. There are galore possibilities, but it’s a beauteous pressing question for the adjacent movie to hopefully reply promptly.
What Does the Future Hold for Samson?
A pivotal portion of The Bone Temple involves the dynamic betwixt Ian and the infected “Alpha” that helium has named Samson, played by Chi Lewis-Parry. Ian begins to judge that the rage microorganism whitethorn not person genuinely replaced the property of the afflicted, but alternatively masked it. Slowly but surely, helium is proven right, arsenic helium uses morphine to continually calm Samson, who yet begins to talk again. With his proviso of morphine moving low, Ian is past capable to usage his remaining resources to springiness Samson pills to dainty psychosis, which begins to genuinely bring backmost his memories of the idiosyncratic helium was earlier helium was infected. Samson is past seen mournfully carrying the assemblage of Ian aft helium finds him successful the aftermath of what happened with Jimmy.
But with his person Ian dead, what’s adjacent for Samson? Is determination immoderate mode helium could perchance assistance different infected instrumentality to their existent selves arsenic well? That seems dubious, fixed that helium doesn’t person the aesculapian know-how Ian did, but it remains to beryllium seen conscionable however acold his ain quality goes. Did Ian person much of those pills, and would Samson adjacent beryllium capable to place them, since helium was beauteous retired of it erstwhile helium took them? And if helium can’t assistance the different infected, what is the spot for him successful this world? We already saw him get attacked by the infected erstwhile once his behaviour began to alteration – though helium surely reinforced conscionable however formidable helium was successful the process by however helium decimated them – but could helium get immoderate of the uninfected survivors to instrumentality him successful now?
Though they ne'er interact successful The Bone Temple, Spike does cognize Samson from the erstwhile film, albeit usually successful the discourse of moving for his beingness from him, truthful that would beryllium a reunion surely worthy exploring.
What Happened to That Pregnant Lady?
The Bone Temple’s astir unsettling and disturbing series involves Jimmy and his unit taking a tiny radical of different survivors prisoner, past torturing them successful an perfectly horrific manner; they are skinned alive. One subordinate of this group, a large pistillate named Cathy (Mirren Mack), manages to flight earlier the torture begins, hiding supra successful the barn wherever this is taking spot and silently watching what happens to her friends successful anguish. When Jimmy forces the lone captive they haven’t skinned to combat 1 of his followers to the death, Cathy makes her beingness known by sending a ample hook hurtling down, sidesplitting the follower referred to arsenic Jimmima (Emma Laird).
In the chaos that follows, Cathy makes a tally for it, succeeding successful getting distant erstwhile Spike can’t bring himself to sprout her with an arrow and alternatively begs her to instrumentality him with her, though helium sadly gets sucker-punched by her for his troubles and near behind. But what happened to her next? She was wholly unsocial with nary location oregon allies, making her prospects rather menacing successful this scenario. But we ne'er spot her again, and fixed however overmuch surface clip she gets, it feels similar she should marque her instrumentality down the line.
What’s Jamie Been Up To?
After playing a important relation successful 28 Years Later, Spike’s dad, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), is absent from The Bone Temple. Last clip we saw him, he’d discovered Spike had near a babe astatine the gross of their village, on with a enactment saying helium would instrumentality 1 day. And yes, it’s existent Jamie tried to tally aft Spike, lone to beryllium halted by the rising tide crossed the causeway to the village. But past what? Did helium ne'er spell looking for his son? And yes, Spike said not to spell looking for him…but he’s a kid!
Granted, Jamie was depicted arsenic a massively flawed character, what with cheating connected his dying woman and such, but helium did inactive look to emotion Spike. So what has helium been up to since Spike left? Has helium been raising the babe Isla (named aft Spike’s mother) himself, oregon did helium walk that disconnected to idiosyncratic else? Oh, and has Isla remained 100% steadfast and psychotic rage-free, fixed she was the evident merchandise of the mating of 2 radical with the rage virus? And hey, does Samson’s caller clarity see immoderate realizations astir that baby, since it was highly implied (albeit not confirmed) that it was his ain child? Because past helium mightiness privation to wage a sojourn to Jamie’s colony arsenic well…
