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...

LEONARDO DiCaprio was reportedly paid £15million to star as backpacker Richard in Boyle’s adaptation of Alex Garland’s book.

The traveller uses a map to find a secret community living on a cut-off Thai beach.

The movie, released in 2000, was shot at Maya Bay on the island of Ko Phi Phi Le - causing controversy when filmmakers altered the beach to make the setting more like “paradise” Ironically, the authorities later restricted tourist visits there.
