Then, 28 days after leaving, Spike was rescued from a horde of infected by Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O\u2019Connell), another original survivor who turned out to be the leader of a barbaric cult. That\u2019s where the sequel picks up. Spike, Kelson, and Crystal will play major roles in The Bone Temple. Per the official premise:<\/p>\n
Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship\u2014with consequences that could change the world as they know it\u2014and Spike\u2019s encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can\u2019t escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival\u2014the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.<\/p>\n
Samson the Alpha Zombie is back, too. The cast also includes Erin Kellyman, Emma Laird, and Maura Bird as Jimmy Ink, Jimmima, and Jimmy Jones, all members of Crystal\u2019s cult. Best of all, Cillian Murphy will reprise his 28 Days Later\/28 Weeks Later starring role as intrepid bike courier Jim, who miraculously survived the first two movies and, apparently, the ensuing 28 years.<\/p>\n
The trailer opens with an exchange between Kelson and Crystal, in which the latter asks if Kelson is \u201cOld Nick,\u201d i.e., Satan. It\u2019s a reasonable assumption, given that morbid bone temple. We also see Spike joining Crystal\u2019s ranks and Kelson remembering the happier past before sharing a moment of truce with Samson. \u201cI believe the infection can be treated,\u201d Kelson says later, and in the final scene, we see him give Samson an injection representing \u201ca leap into the unknown.\u201d Will it really cure Samson? We know there\u2019s already another film in the works, so that might be an interesting twist.<\/p>\n
