A new deleted scene from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple reveals a scene that most fans absolutely wanted to see in the film.
Videos by ComicBook.comhas revealed one that is somewhat shocking. It’s just a brief scene, but also a pivotal one, which instantly fixes one of the bigger questions of the movie. So why leave it on the cutting room floor?.
The first sees young Spike get caught up in the murderous cult of madman Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal , who roams the countryside terrorizing and murdering innocents. The other storyline sees Dr. Ian Kelson making a world-changing breakthrough with the infected Alpha known as Samson . Inevitably, these two storylines collide in a wild climactic finish. However, many viewers felt that there was one conspicuous issue with the progression of the film: there was almost no interaction between Jimmy and Samson.delivers a moment that so many fans would’ve loved to see in the final film: Jimmy being faced with Samson, and having all of his Jim Jones-style mania suddenly ripped away. In fact, seeing Jimmy scamper away from a roaring Samson is more telling than it looks: it’s a callback to young Jimmy running for his life away from the home where his mother, family, and friends got slaughtered in the first wave of infection – reminding us that the adult Jimmy is really still just a scared boy hiding behind the bad boy facade of being Satan’s son. It was also the kind of lighthearted, funny moment thattakes the scene where Jimmy meets Kelson in a very different direction. The theatrical cut removes any prior interaction between Jimmy and Samson until the final moments of the climax. Jimmy tries to coerce Kelson into posing as the devil to secure his position as cult leader; upon recognizing Spike, Kelson tries to free the boy by ordering Jimmy’s followers to crucify him. Jimmy flips out and stabs Kelson; Spike flips out and stabs Jimmy, while Jimmy Ink leaves Sir Lord Jimmy impaled on a crucifix. Samson finds Jimmy on the cross and Kelson dying, but rather than acting like a brutish savage, the Alpha leaves Jimmy to his fate.) chose to tell two stories that only loosely intersect. Jimmy and Samson’s respective stories are meant as two contrasting ruminations on what it is to be “a monster” versus “human,” and the deleted scene, however funny, sucks some of the deeper resonance out of that theme. Logistically, the scene also makes the third act twist hard to pull off: the Jimmys are clearly observing Sir Lord Jimmy’s meeting with Kelson in this version, and see him fleeing from Samson. The ruse to have Kelson pose as Satan seems far less plausible after that. Keeping Sir Lord Jimmy’s meeting with Kelson isolated to the two of them makes the Jimmys’ gullibility much more understandable, later on.The deleted scene also helps to explain why the film sidelines Samson for much of the third act, fighting with other infected offscreen, after the “cure” takes effect. It seems like some revision had to be done to get these two stories to converge in a sensible way.ends with more dangling threads than there should be with the middle chapter of a trilogy – not to mention very unclear goals for the third installment, which will bring back originalA Perfect Sequel to an Iconic ‘80s Sci-Fi Franchise Was Just Added to Hulu
