Explore the different endings considered for the acclaimed zombie film 28 Days Later, including the theatrical release and three alternate scenarios.
28 Days Later is arguably one of the best zombie movies of all time, but it could have had a total of four different endings. While the film does not involve the dead coming back to life, 28 Days Later is generally considered a zombie movie, as it has many tropes found in the zombie apocalypse genre. Still, while many zombie movies have a large cast, one of the strengths of 28 Days Later is its minimal cast and character-driven plot.
The story centers on Selena, Hannah, and Jim, who woke up from a coma to find the world destroyed. 28 Days Later's Ebola-inspired 'rage virus' is the agent of the apocalypse. It is a lab-created illness that turns regular human beings into furious, animalistic creatures. That said, the movie's most disturbing moments come from the fact that the human survivors can often be more brutal than the infected people, known as 'The Infected.' Jim finds this out, to his horror, when he discovers that the movie's military antagonists have a dark secret. This results in him getting shot and leaves him fighting for his life. Major West's betrayal sets up three of 28 Days Later's four different endings. 28 Days Later Had Three Alternate Endings The Theatrical Ending Mirrors 28 Days Later's First Scene 28 Days Later kept audiences guessing Jim's fate for some time. After he is shot, the screen fades, suggesting for a moment that the movie will end on a cliffhanger. Fortunately for audiences, this is not the case. The caption '28 Days Later' appears onscreen, and clips of the immediate aftermath of the shooting show Selena trying to resuscitate him. Jim then wakes up in bed before rushing out of the house to join Selena and Hannah in trying to attract the attention of a passing aircraft. While this ending was well-received, Danny Boyle had considered three other endings. It is a common saying that when you die, your life flashes before your eye
