Who directed the 2007 zombie sequel 28 Weeks Later?

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed the 2007 zombie sequel 28 Weeks Later.

The film follows efforts to repopulate London after the initial Rage virus outbreak depicted in 28 Days Later. Fresnadillo, a Spanish filmmaker, took over directing duties for the sequel, while Danny Boyle served as an executive producer and Alex Garland received a story credit.

Unlike the first film’s focus on Jim’s journey through a deserted Britain, 28 Weeks Later concentrates on a heavily controlled reconstruction zone in London. The apparent return to normal life collapses when the virus reappears, creating a new outbreak within the supposedly secure area.

The sequel stars Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, and Catherine McCormack. Its title refers to the period after the original outbreak, not to the total duration of the infection. The movie expanded the first film’s world while retaining the fast-moving infected associated with the series.
