Amid criticism of ‘The Marvels 2’ and her other past projects, Nia DaCosta responded to fan concerns and praised Alex Garland’s script.
Director Nia DaCosta discussed her work on the film ‘28 Years Later. Part II: Bone Chapel’ — the second part of a new trilogy based on Danny Boyle’s cult zombie horror.
At a meeting with the public at the Edinburgh Film Festival, she noted that the project was the best filming experience of her career, and emphasized that she made almost no changes to the script.
«One of the problems I encountered in ‘Candyman’ and ‘The Marvels 2’ was the lack of a truly strong script. And without it, the whole process falls apart. But Alex Garland brings a script — and you think: “This is amazing.” It hardly needs to be changed. Although I did ask to add more infected.
Filming of the movie is complete. The premiere of ‘28 Years Later. Part II: Bone Chapel’ is scheduled for January 2026. The film will continue the storyline begun in the first part of Danny Boyle’s new trilogy, and will develop the story of Spike and Jack O’Connell’s character — Jimmy Crystal.
