It's not. A film that's shot in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio is not going to be 1080 in a HD transfer. It'll be in 1920x804. A film shot in a 4:3 ratio will be 1920x1440. 2:1 will be 1920x960. Etc, etc. So 1920, not 1080 is the default HD format, regardless of aspect ratio. "2K" and "4K" acknowledges this, as 2K for home video refers to the horizontal pixel count of 1,920, which is close enough to 2,000. 3,840 pixels wide can be rounded up to 4,000 pixels, hence they're able to sell it as 4K. Sorry, I'm way too nerdy when it comes to these things.
So if any apps says it's a 4k version of 28 Days Later is just a full on lie and instead of putting it out on 4k disc they should just print a bunch of DVDs? Or at least the menu screen would be 4k
The thing I’m concerned about is that so much zombie media has been done over the last 20 years that I’m not sure exactly where the 28 Days/Weeks/Years later franchise goes from here without appearing derivative of something else. Which is an absolutely ironic twist of fate, that the movie that essentially launched the modern zombie genre could now potentially be accused of ripping off another piece of zombie media. Not to mention we’ve also now experienced a real life global pandemic that shut the whole world down, and we’ve seen how people responded to it, which also has to guide the writing of any movie or tv show where a virus has spread throughout humanity. It will be interesting to see where they take this story.
28 Years Later The Bone Temple gets January 2026 release date! Short wait in between movies, relatively speaking
I know the getting is good right now for sequels and reboots. And Cillian is at his peak in popularity right now. But how epic would it be if they waited until 2030 to release 28 Years Later, exactly 28 years after the first movie came out. Although, maybe by 2030 the world will actually look like it did in 28 Days Later.
