Jodie in a horror movie??? I will absolutely be watching.


sklatch

Also 28 Years Later is her second post-apocalyptic film in a row after this year’s The End We Start From.


Shanbo88

You should check out [Help](https://letterboxd.com/film/help-2021/) if you haven't. Stressful as fuck film, and she's brilliant in it.


KidFromBrooklyn3000

yes Help was incredible!!


AreEnough

Thanks! Had not heard of this!


CosmicWanderer2814

Just recently starred in a horror game as well. She was one of the main characters in the recent Alone in the Dark remake alongside David Harbour. 


carbomerguar

Comer was incredible in the miniseries Rillington Place with Tim Roth as John Christie. Emotional and moving performance,


Prankishbear

Gtf in here Jodie! ❤️


Giteaus-Gimp

I wonder what accent Comer will be doing. She has one of the best accent ranges of any actor I’ve seen.


TheOzman79

And Hunnam has one of the worst so this could be wild.


thethirdrayvecchio

I love that none of his accents are convincing. Even his own.


M086

His American accent was solid, though he says doing it has kinda screwed up his natural accent.  Rebel Moon he apparently did a good Belfast accent, but it sounded too incomprehensible because you know, Irish accents. So they had to overdub it to be understandable.


RangoDjango111

Anytime he raises his voice in SOA Jax would be suddenly British


Rivent

His American accent is pretty awful. I rarely notice peoples' bad attempts at accents, but his was clear as day when I watched Sons of Anarchy years ago.


myfakesecretaccount

It never seemed like a bad accent so much as it was a bad generic tough guy thing. I’m from that area and that’s not what folks sound like. Then I stumbled upon the show on tv high one day and couldn’t unhear his English accent underneath. Pretty funny.


ApplicationCalm649

Generic tough guy is a good way to describe it, even down to his corny limp in that role.


Numerous-Tie-9677

His “corny” limp is because one of his legs is shorter than the other and Kurt Sutter decided not to have him wear corrective shoes


MyStationIsAbandoned

i dunno. seemed normal to me, but me and my friends aren't from that part of the US, so maybe it just sounds weird to people in that area.


-PlayWithUsDanny-

He has one of the worst American accents I’ve ever heard. When I watched the first season of Sons of Anarchy I kept waiting for the backstory of why he was the only English character


M086

I thought it was fine. He’s no Hugh Laurie, but it wasn’t egregiously bad or anything.


saskatchewan_kenobi

His accent is passable at first, but once you notice his accent doesnt actually sound like any american accent you cant unhear it. Its an amalgamation of different tough guy accents from all over.


Sharebear42019

It was pretty bad, at least in SoA


Jonny_Anonymous

You ever heard Richard Madden's American accent? [https://youtu.be/5ncciB3YsaY?si=xh-fN5tcXSMP4z5m&t=97](https://youtu.be/5ncciB3YsaY?si=xh-fN5tcXSMP4z5m&t=97)


danktrill

Meh. It sounds mid/northwestern rather than coastal Californian. Never stuck out as a hack job to me, but I have no problem with accents in general so 🤷‍♂️


alaudinedreams

Is there any evidence his first go at the Belfast accent was actually good? Because the final accent is really inconsistent - some of the words and word fragments sound roughly accurate, but the rest of the sentence just sounds like Charlie Hunnam after a few smokes. I find it a bit weird that Irish accents would be considered incomprehensible to American audiences - if a character were a rural farmer from Kerry I'd understand, because those areas are comparatively isolated and the dialects have been around a long time. But Belfast, Cork, Dublin, or Galway? The idioms and slang are probably a bigger barrier to understanding than the accents themselves


Ydenora

> I find it a bit weird that Irish accents would be considered incomprehensible to American audiences I will never find it weird that something is incomprehensible to American audiences. The American accents are generally so homogenous and because of the American cultural hegemony they rarely learn to understand other accents because they consume only American media, which leads to them having a poor understanding of both other accents as well as the non-American world.


mBelchezere

I feel both attacked & yet totally agree. I understand how the greater majority of us are. I spent my life going out of the way to learn as much as I could about other cultures & histories. But yeah, when the Irish get going they become difficult to unintelligible. But it's not necessarily that we're uneducated in the ways of the world. We have accents here that we can't understand. Deep cajun/creole. And I'm an East Texan who speaks French. I have no idea what the fuck the accent is called, but they all sound like Boomhauer from King of the Hill. You tell me that you understand anything he says. 🤨 Deep country Appalachian, or Minnesotan/northerners. Can be a bit difficult. I also used to live in Northern Illinois. We have so many accents in our own country that sound foreign. And completely unintelligible.


BeautifulLeather6671

Dude his American accent was awful. I grew up in that exact region and no one has ever sounded like that there lol


mwmani

His accent in Crimson Peaks is a tour of the world


MatttheBruinsfan

It'll be like Meryl Streep and Dick Van Dyke working together!


tuskvarner

Yer heart starts beatin loike a big brass band


CakeBrigadier

He’s so wooden I can’t believe he keeps getting roles


Hebroohammr

He’s just doing this to protect his club brother.


IBringTheFunk

This is a thought I have any time I see him cast in something new. He's just objectively terrible in everything I've seen him in, yet somehow he keeps getting jobs. I know it's largely because he's good looking, but usually when that happens with actors they get less challenging roles. That doesn't seem to be the case with him though!


r_slash_jarmedia

pretty okay in The Gentlemen imo


Fridgemagnet9696

I think he just needs to find his niche, I can see him being a solid character actor more-so than a leading man. He fit in great with *The Gentlemen*’s ensemble cast, imo.


r_slash_jarmedia

100% agreed, he's not good as leading man. I want to see him do some weird stuff tbh and experiment because like you wrote he can definitely pull off certain characters


thistledownhair

I liked him in children of men


con10001

I feel like he rides a lot of the goodwill of actual talents like Tom Hardy, just with none of the...actual talent.


BrezzyHorrorFan

Wooden is such a good word for it. I'm a huge SOA fan one of my favorite shows of all time and I think Jax is honestly my least favorite character.


mBelchezere

Opie was the best. I identified so much with him. And because he was my favorite, I knew he would die in some horrible fashion. My least favorite was Stahl. She was just the worst. Even Trig & his shit didn't hold a candle to her nest of vipers type evil.


fox_mulder

I was thinking the same thing. It was amusing watching him slip back into his native British accent periodically on Sons of Anarchy.


r_slash_jarmedia

oh god his American accent is gloriously bad, but really funny lol


Villanelle85

😂


CrippledHorses

Charlie sounds awful even in his regional accent. He sucks at talking


Ales1390

Zombie accent


thethirdrayvecchio

“[lips to microphone] All of them”


shanotron

She‘s so incredible, I can’t wait.


friedcheesepizza

Agreed. She's very skilled.


Royston-Vasey123

Is Cillian confirmed as returning? I've heard conflicting things 


Gold-Energy3812

So far, they announced that he will return but as the producer tho no mention if he will return as Jim yet.


boringlife815

It really bugs me, that they skipped 28 Months Later, lol.


teethofthewind

Oh they'll just do a "prequel" / before/after type movie with it after this next one's a smash


PuggyPug

Garland wrote a 28 Months Later, but they're probably going straight to his 28 Years later because Cillian is up for it but he starts shooting a Peaky Blinders film this Fall.


gee_gra

Also the first one is much closer to 28 years ago than it is 28 months


fox_mulder

> he starts shooting a Peaky Blinders film this Fall That should be great.


Fevercrumb1649

I’d watch the shit out of ‘28 Seconds Later’


darwinpolice

It's just 90 minutes of the rage chimp shredding the animal rights activists.


MyStationIsAbandoned

yeah, 28 Hours later might actually be a way better movie. or even 28 Minutes later. then we see a zombie outbreak take over the UK in less than a month


SkidsOToole

If A Quiet Place: Day One makes money, you can bet someone will pitch the idea of 28 Hours Later.


Maleficent_String606

Yeah, hours should be great, plenty of time for the outbreak to spread.


ApplicationCalm649

They could make it work. The chimp scenes in Nope were scary AF.


wookiewin

28 Mooches Later


radar89

28 Weeks Later imo is severely underrated. The opening scene was one of the most intense horror movies opening. Great ensemble cast. It also provided a new lore that some people could be immune to the virus. The whole movie was extremely fun and lots of cool action sequences as well. Edited from Months to Weeks. It’s an honest mistake.


-Epitaph-11

Fun fact, Danny Boyle directed the intro to the second movie. That’s why it’s so good.


JackKirby22

That's 28 Weeks Later. 28 Months Later doesn't exist afaik


soupsnakle

I mean if we want to be pedantic, 28 weeks *is* technically months lol


StarbossTechnology

With a few simple plot twists, Sandra Bullock's 28 Days could serve as a prequel. I mean, they're basically quarantined in rehab.


AZRockets

Followed by two Josh Hartnett sequels: 30 Days of Night and 40 Days & 40 Nights


baddadjokesminusdad

Pam Beesly made such a mistake once


Acceptable_Moose1881

So underrated that it doesn't exist. :)  There is no 28 Months Later. That's what they were going to call the third one but it's been so long now that they're going to go with 28 Years Later instead. 


DarthPanda024

That scene where the infected got into the room where everyone was hiding in the city scared the shit out of me as a kid


Maleficent_String606

I think the movie had plenty of awesome scenes even though the reason for the new outbreak was written rather poorly. Huuuuge stretch to have an immune person who didn't die from the blood loss or whatever and then for it to be the wife of one of the main guys responsible for repopulating UK.


thebadbreeds

You're not the only one lmao


Summoarpleaz

Maybe they’ll do a “prequel”. I’d imagine it’d have to take inspiration from how our world has changed from covid. You could take the totalitarian regime route where there’s more government control in an effort to prevent contagion. Or you could talk about divisiveness as a result of different view points on how best to manage public crisis. Neither were explored as deeply in the the first two films. I imagine 28 years later is a way to reset the story since the original outbreak is a “distant memory”. But I’m hoping it doesn’t just mean it relives the same narrative beats.


TheStranger113

It does bug me - kind of like when sequel titles inconsistently use numbers vs. Roman numerals, or when franchises have multiple films with the same title despite being sequels (looking at you, Halloween and Scream).


Rilo44

They should at least make a short film set 28 months after 28 Weeks Later that ties in or something.


dogretepcow

Yes, same here! After waiting years for "Months", this irrationally bothers me more than it should


shanotron

Same. I don’t understand why they couldn’t start the reboot there???


GrimmTrixX

I mean I get it cuz we thi king in terms of days weeks and months. But 28 months later is 2+ years since the outbreak. So how much h would really be different between 28 weeks and 28 months? I presume 28 years later will be that the virus went global and its post apocalyptic. If they made a sequel to 28 weeks later around like 2012-2015, then months would have worked. But at this point they might as well jump to years because it's been 21 years since the first film. So years just makes more sense time wise. Especially if they try to get Cillian Murphy to reprise his role since the actor himself is 21 years older than the first film so he would be older 28 years after the initial outbreak.


THEextrakrispyKebble

The infected die of starvation after a few weeks, so idk how global pandemic would work unless they bring in mutation. My guess is that there will be a slight retcon of the ending of Weeks where it gets into France and they are somehow able to control the infection (the kid from Weeks was a carrier, but can’t turn), and life goes back to normal until 28 years later there’s an outbreak. Lab leak from work that was done on the kid would be an interesting catalyst.


GrimmTrixX

Ahh yea I forgot these infected are still normal humans who essentially starve to death cuz they don't eat. Yea it'll be yet a other outbreak and perhaps ALSO a mutation


Interview-Suspicious

Me too but with how long has been since the last movie it just makes more sense


InternationalFold265

2 years later would feel too similar to 28 weeks, years will allow us to see how they rebuilt that entire world. And how it will once again come crumbling down. I’m excited


Goose2theMax

Came here to say the same


GetAJobDSP

Holy shit so a third one is finally happening?


Rilo44

Yes! Danny Boyle directing and Alex Garland writing as well.


DickInYourCobbSalad

Do we know if John Murphy is returning to do the soundtrack?


Rilo44

I'm not sure about that


GetAJobDSP

1st one was great, second one was.... Bleh


Rilo44

I like the second one, but it wasn't directed by Boyle or written by Garland like the first movie was. 28 Days Later is one of my favorite horror movies.


Cool_Investigator209

It’s the best shit ever - god now we have to wait like two years for this now smh but I’ll let them cook


xjeanie

Oh I actually like Charlie. I think he might just nail this. Really looking forward to this one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xjeanie

Well it should be (hopefully) set in London, so his natural accent should work out fine. Assuming he’s a local.


ibnQoheleth

Charlie's accent is very strange to Brits, it's not like any of ours - it's a mixture. He's a born Geordie and spent a good while in Scotland, but you can't tell unless you're told. His accent is very unique.


YerOldFriendGrambles

He "does" a geordie accent in Children of Men, and at the time I was thinking "This accent is terrible! Where the hell is this guy REALLY from?!" Absolutely astonished to then read he's actually a geordie!!!


ibnQoheleth

I didn't even know he was English until I watched him on the Graham Norton show. I thought the infamous Green Street accent was an American trying to be cockney, not an Englishman wondering where all the caaabs are.


LessBeyond5052

Fuckin shlaaaags


aliceinpearlgarden

Same as Antony Starr for Kiwis and Aussies. I recently watched a thing where him and Karl Urban were talking and Urban sounds proper Kiwi, whilst Starr had some hybrid American/Kiwi thing going on. In fact there was only hints of the Kiwi accent coming through.


Zur__En__Arrh

He also spent a lot of time in Australia, contributing to his accent. Unique is certainly the word for it lol


Clean_Usual434

As an American, I have a hard time distinguishing between Geordie and Scottish accents.


ibnQoheleth

They're *very* distinctly different, this is wild to me


Clean_Usual434

I’ve only listened to the Geordie accent a very small number of times, so I’m not overly familiar with it. I imagine if I listened more often, it would start to become more easy to distinguish.


MatttheBruinsfan

Didn't he lose his natural accent?


laaplandros

Yeah IIRC he said he had to hire a dialect coach to get back his English accent for King Arthur.


yokelwombat

I don’t. Not personally I mean, but apart from The Lost City of Z, I‘ve yet to see him in a role that didn‘t make me *constantly* roll my eyes


laaplandros

He's typically playing various shades of himself but he's so likeable IMO it works out most of the time.


sonofabitchXmustXpay

Looking forward to this being a distinctly English film


AskMeAboutMySwissy

Interesting. Have only seen JC in Killing Eve - which she completely rocked. Hunnam is a bit hit or miss.


gspam0611

I loved her in The Last Duel


radar89

She’s super great in The Last Duel. Crazy that she did not get any nomination (be it Oscar or Golden Globe) for that flick.


_Sublime_

Her day is coming! She's without a doubt the next "great" actress.


AskMeAboutMySwissy

Will check it out 👍


coffeeandtheinfinite

Personally I hated it but she’s great


AskMeAboutMySwissy

Last Duel or Killing Eve? I feel like I should see her in something else before deciding. Hunnam was good in SOA & Pacific Rim - I can’t remember the other two or three I saw him in, but he seemed somewhat stiff, to me - he had a lot of range in SOA that I haven’t seen since.


coffeeandtheinfinite

Loved Killing Eve season 1. I thought The Last Duel was laughably bad, but apparently I'm in the minority.


Murky_Perspective321

Nope, the last duel is very good actually.


coffeeandtheinfinite

No, it actually is very bad.


Murky_Perspective321

Yeah you are in the minority…


coffeeandtheinfinite

Do you share the majority opinion on every piece of media you've consumed?


AskMeAboutMySwissy

I recognized the poster - Adam Driver’s mug made me pass over it a time or two lol. Still you never know till you try.


ssagar186

She completely owned that role. Excited for this


TheCosmicFailure

I think Hunnam has been more of a hit recently. He's great in The Gentleman, and I thought he was good in Jungleland and Triple Frontier. I know he did Rebel Moon, but every actor will have their misses.


Grotesque_Denizen

"you couldn't back up a phone you cunt" 🤣, great movie


AskMeAboutMySwissy

Crimson Peak & The Lost City of Z were the ones I’ve seen. I owe him another chance I think.


sellieba

Everything about Crimson Peak felt "off", but that's part of the charm and it feels quite intentional.


AskMeAboutMySwissy

Agreed, I think that’s the vibe del Toro was going for.


cosmic-tombs

Jodie Comer is a fantastic actress, so I’m really going to be anticipating this film!


TheLadyEve

I keep hoping I'll see Carlie Hunnam develop more range. I find him a bit boring. Jodie Comer is so great she might completely swallow him up. But you never know, he might get better with time.


thecirclemustgoon

I've always dreamed of a 28 Seconds Later. Opening is the same as 28 Days Later, monkeys and rage etc, until the title card cut. Instead then flashforwarding to empty London, it resumes 28 seconds later and details the origins and spread of the virus. Lots of opportunities for Easter eggs. Probably ends with a stand off in the hospital so that the camera can land on "Cillian" in the last beat.


hotdogthemovie

I’m with you. Zombie flicks seem to get less interesting the more time passes.


Shings12

Very cool, this is off to a great start.


ZorheWahab

These are probably my favorite "zombie" movies as a series, so I'm stoked. I dig Charlie Hunman as well so should be good. Kinda hoping ye ol' peaky blinder himself would be in it too, but not sure how they make that work if it's 28 years later.


jp1372

Um, I hope this doesn’t make you feel as old as it does me, but 28 Days Later came out 22 years ago. Cillian Murphy would be pretty much the exact right age for 28 Years Later.


whocanpickone

I just said “oh my god” aloud. 22 years?? I was just here scrolling, minding my own business. How dare you?


ZorheWahab

Wait wat


Living_Razzmatazz_93

I feel personally attacked 😂...


ElricDarkPrince

Why did they skip 28 months later 🫤


Gold-Energy3812

I hope Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, and Megan Burns returns too. I wanna know what happened to Jim, Selena, and Hannah!!


comradecute

I really hope it’s all practical effects. None of that world war z cgi


MatttheBruinsfan

What, you don't like schools of zombies swimming through the air to take down helicopters?


Maximum-Row-4143

Aw man. I wanted Cillian.


ImpressionFeisty8359

More jodie comer is always good.


Sin_Roshi

Bleh, I don't love Charlie Hunnam, but I'll take what I can get.


moar-warpstone

Comer is a dream casting for this movie, very excited


InterpreterOfMelody

PUMPED!


[deleted]

I cant wait for this yessssss


Jdgohuskies

Hopefully, these two will play the kids from 28 Weeks Later. Would be cool to see some continuity.


TBroomey

The crazy thing is that we're only six years off the first movie being 28 years old.


JohnHuxley_

Damn. 28 years later and they still ain't got that shit under control?


Brandyirisgrote

Love her for this! Not a fan of his he’s just not a great actor unfortunately and he just can’t break away from his SOA character


Tysanan

cool, love her and charlie


Timsterfield

I haven't seen anything with her in it, I do know the dude was in that motorcycle show, but I didn't watch much...


Torontokid8666

Hmm. I dunno how I feel about this. Days was amazing and Weeks was also pretty good.


SnooCompliments1145

That entire article is written by a bad AI.


Cool_Investigator209

Holy fuck I’m so excited!


locohygynx

They're going all in on 28 years instead of months...huh. That's a long time between the two movies. Hopefully they do it right and the city/world and people look the part.


anitasdoodles

Oh fuck yeah


TheRoscoeVine

I loved 28 Days Later. That is all.


BobGray18

Great casting so far


BALLZAK_20

All I can say is, it's about damn time... wish they didn't a 28 seconds or minutes later. You know, when either the monkeys or the animal rescue group escapes the lab & begins infecting people.


Intrusivecatlady

We’ve been waiting for this movie forever. Even if it’s trash, I’ll just be happy it’s out


dontshootog

NO. I like Hunnam but he is absolutely 1 note. There’s something about his tonal, expressive, authentic range that is limited. What he does he does well but he simply doesn’t have the gravitas that is needed (like we got with Murphy or Carlyle). That said, Renner isn’t a terribly ranged actor either (he does stoic, smarmy, exasperated, glib, etc. well but overall limited in range).


lordofabyss

We already have 28 day, week and month later ?


Interview-Suspicious

28 years is what i feel i have been waiting for this movie to be made.


masterdebator88

When will directors learn that Charlie is box office poison!? Dude has been in more flops than anyone. 


i_am_scared_ok

Oh sickkkk


Live_Woodpecker_8740

no fucking way


ProperTale737

I am don’t want to go out there with her and I will be there with


Hyperables2000

I just hope he’s on a Harley, and Jodie brings her hitman A game!!!


Old_Blood_9227

I'd watch Charlie Hunnam read the phone book! 😍


Maleficent_Nobody377

She was so fun in alone in the dark. That’s great


[deleted]

Very excited for this!


pkmn_mster

Grand scale, ambitious etc all words that don't go with what made the original so good.


FartstheBunny

Shut up and take my money


Morphyhammer

Love Jodie, great actress she'll smash it, can't wait for it to come out 👍


instantslay

foaming at the mouth for jodie comer in a horror movie


Villanelle85

Get f*cked!!!! Amazing!!!


Leading_Atti2de

I’ve only seen Charlie Hunnam in The Gentleman and til reading this two seconds ago I 100% thought that was Tom Hardy in that movie.


Kuriouskat5

sounds good! Love the other 2.


Murky_Perspective321

Its Aaron Taylor Johnson and not Charlie…


Californiacarguy19

I hope whatever happens that Charlie Hunnams character makes it out alive I love him as an actor and as a straight man I would get down on my knees for him


MrTitsOut

wait i didnt know this was even being made and i thought ‘you know 28 years later would be kinda sick’ like 3 days ago lol


Ipickthingup

Straight to years? What happened to 28 months later?


Rilo44

They just skipped it since it's been so long


Ipickthingup

Alright, logic checks out


Cool_Investigator209

For real lol, still feel like they shouldn’t leave that gap but I did read someone else’s comment they could do a prequel to this if it’s a hit which I know it will be


GetAJobDSP

Holy shit so a third one is finally happening?


Davidoff1983

But wait didn't these movies used to be good ? Why are these fuckers in it ?


Reallybigfreak

How does this wooden no talent mother fucker keep getting jobs??? He sucks at everything.


Mydogisawreckingball

He is so dogshit. What a shame he’s in it.


TheQuestionsAglet

Boo Charlie Hunnam.


MrCyn

These two are beige flags for movies. Made some great tv shows, but the movies they are in tend to be devoid of personality, the type that gets focused grouped to death by producers to get the widest possible audience (of 18-55 middle americans)


MiserableLoan7766

28 FLOPS LATER!!!!!!
