Alex Garland Reveals the Inspiration Behind '28 Days Later's Sprinting Zombies
Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, starring Cillian Murphy, changed the zombie/horror genre when it was first released back in 2002. As well as making a star out of the Irish actor, 28 Days Later also gave fans nightmares for years by introducing fast zombies (known as "Rage Zombies" in the film). For decades, the genre had seen humanity plagued by undead creatures that walked slower than your grandma. But Alex Garland, who wrote the screenplay for 28 Days Later, was frustrated with that convention, and the inspiration behind the movie's iconic sprinting zombies came from a very nerdy place.
