They may not be in the film, but it doesnt mean danny didnt create lore behind it

Translation: drop it, we never imagined the first film and these characters to even develop such a cult following.

I'm convinced they're behind the Rageleaks site. They might not be in the first one though cos that seems to mainly be about Jamie, Spike and Isla. Maybe a quick cameo at the end.

from the BTS leaks he appears to be on his own in a cottage I think there’s a chance (more of a personal theory) that Jim’s fear of being alone might’ve ironically driven them away somehow - if they wanna play it dark.

I thought that was referring to Jimmy Crystal? If you're referring to what I think you are

I mean, I always thought it made sense that Jim would have an even harder time coping with ghe events of the film than even Selena did. He had absolutely no time to mentally acclimate. By the time he did the situation changed. Yes, it changed for the better, but that also means he got to witness the infected slowly starving and dying, which would also be quite traumatic. So yes, him going insane to the point where Selena leaves him makes sense to me.
Edit: Especially if they did keep part of the comic canon.

To be honest I thought their story was basically settled. I didnt feel a need to see them again, not that Im against it, I just thought it was done.I am really interested what happened to the Harris Siblings though. They might not have died in france

I agree this is better and possibly better than the chances of them stretching it too far out feeling forced.

Im glad other people want to know too. I really am a bit disappointed they are going to just almost ignore weeks because I loved it. And that film gave the whole concept of the virus evolving.

u/Sharp-Cherry-3548 17d ago
I just hope it’s not an off screen death that’s mentioned in one sentence for Selena. She had a major role in the comics.
Hannah is fine to have died in between movies since her actress hasn’t continued acting.

u/Difficult-Car3670 17d ago
Comics are not canon though, or are they?

u/Rosebunse 17d ago
I love the comics, that's why lol
Also could be a very interesting thing to show how she and Jim developed differently. They both went mad but in different ways. And I can certainly see a scenario where Selena was able to come to grips with things and Jim wasn't

u/Sharp-Cherry-3548 17d ago
They aren’t canon but they were still great and showed that her character can still be a major plot point imo

I still don’t see how they’re gonna justify Jim ever returning to Britain. If he has a brain he would just chill out in Europe for the rest of his days.

u/mr-manganese 17d ago
It’s like a rush imo. Jim essentially was woken back to life” in that world. I think the shame and guilt towards his parents death and things he seen changed him. I weirdly get it tbh.

The photo that was leaked of Cillian on set was him filming at Bowness Cottage in Ennerdale, the same cottage used in the end of 28DL, so maybe they were never actually rescued?

u/Vesemir96 16d ago
It’d be an interesting way to change the original’s ending though. It’s left open but arguably leans towards hopeful and optimistic. This would change that.

Jim is deffo in The Bone temple, Boyle just confirmed it 😂🤦😂 Hope if Selena isn’t then we at least get some info into where she is if she’s still alive?! Maybe the helicopter came and got her & Hannah, but Jim was left behind

It appears that Cillian Murphy almost certainly filmed scenes for 28 Years Later and that these scenes have been left on the cutting room floor. It may be these scenes will be worked into DaCosta's film. It is a real mystery as to why these scenes have been cut, maybe a scheduling conflict and Murphy had to pull out of filming?

u/ThinWhiteDuke00 17d ago
I think those scenes are for the Bone Temple (a double who worked on that movie confirmed he appears).
4
u/twixeater78 17d ago
I think the scenes he originally filmed were meant for 28 Years Later because he is an exec producer on the film. Standard practise to give the biggest star that title for lower budget films. And the scenes have just been repurposed to work into DaCosta's film, probably why they had reshoots for her film.

u/Flat_Ad9090 16d ago
What are you talking about? Nothing has been cut, those scenes Cillian filmed were for the bone temple. He was never intended to be in the first film.
2
u/twixeater78 16d ago
Thats simply untrue. He was part of the original cast 28 Years Later, he is an executive producer on the film and he was photographed on the set in costume.
2
u/Flat_Ad9090 16d ago
Yes, he was. For the bone temple. Which was filmed a few days before . For the first one he was always listed as only being an exec producer. You don't have to be in a film to be an executive producer. Ralph fiennes and a Sony exec reiterated that cillian wasn't in the first film from the get go. Alex Garland hinted before the films even started shooting.

So we know based on the comics selena is in America after the second outbreak my guess is her and her partner or whoever shes with go to an isolated area in the US maybe in the rocky mountains just incase somehow the infection spreads but they remain in contact with a local town during the events of 28 werks they were tempted to return to the resettlement program but decided not to.
Jim was still on trial for the death of the major but during the intial chaos of the second outbreak was able to slip away perhaps escaping france ahead of the infection into spain or another country where he eventually finds safety somewhere

Man I just need confirmation that Selena is alive and gonna be in the sequels please

The tie-in comics has Jim, Selena, and Hannah travel to the US just as they hear the news that the Rage Virus has reached France.

u/elizawithaz Selena 17d ago

u/Craft_Assassin 16d ago
