- JAMES MOORE

ZOMBIE lovers are in for a treat this week as Danny Boyle's new post-apocalyptic horror movie 28 Years Later hits the big screen.

It's the third instalment of the franchise and stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes in a story set 28 years on from the release of the Rage virus that shattered society.

The blockbuster flick is just the latest offering from Boyle, already famous for his box-office hits, as well as masterminding the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Here JAMES MOORE unearths surprising secrets about the Oscar winner’s most famous films...

28 Days Later...

IN THE original 2002 movie, written by Alex Garland, bike courier Jim wakes from a coma to find Britain in the grip of a virus that turns infected people into killers.

Jim, played by Irish star Cillian Murphy, and other survivors must battle to stay alive.

Boyle and his crew had roads closed off early on Sunday mornings to get the shots they needed of a deserted London. The crew even managed to put a bus on its side and remove it, all in 20 minutes.

Cops also helped close the M1 - to get just one minute of footage.

Trainspotting...
