The film 28 Days Later, released after the 9/11 attacks, inadvertently mirrored societal anxieties and themes of the event. Interestingly, a scene filmed on 9/11 itself adds a poignant layer to this connection.
While not intended, 28 Days Later has become synonymous with 9/11 . Released shortly after the attacks, the film explored societal collapse, urban danger, and the military's growing power, mirroring themes associated with the tragedy. Images like Cillian Murphy's dazed Jim wandering through deserted London, amidst missing person posters, evoked the haunting aftermath of 9/11 . A surprising connection to the event emerges during the film's DVD commentary.
Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reveal that a scene featuring Jim meeting Brendan Gleeson's character, Frank, was filmed on September 11, 2001. This seemingly mundane interaction, where Frank, Hannah, Jim, and Selena share a cringeworthy toast in a besieged apartment, stands out for its warmth amidst the film's bleakness. This unexpected touch of humanity reflects the real-life situation, as the crew persevered in filming despite the world's upheaval
