28 YEARS LATER
In the remote, windswept landscapes of Northumberland and
North Yorkshire, the third thrilling saga in this post-apocalyptic
franchise unleashes an epic journey across a ravaged UK
as a father and son leave the safety of their isolated island
sanctuary to confront the infected who have overrun the
mainland. Although Holy Island's natural causeway provides
their passage in the story, a far more dramatic crossing was
found at Osea Island in Essex. Their odyssey winds through
the ancient Kielder Forest, where the son makes his "first
kill," to the massive stone ruins of the 12th-century Fountains
Abbey, and onward to the Bone Temple—a chilling monument
of human skulls rising beside the River Ure in a glacier-carved
valley. An abandoned Happy Eater roadside café, a derelict,
overgrown railroad car, a lonely farmhouse offering fleeting
refuge and the spillway of a hydroelectric facility, where a
Swedish NATO unit makes its desperate stand against the
infected, deliver a haunting portrait of civilization's collapse
and the relentless struggle for human survival.
BUGONIA
Two young beekeepers kidnap a powerful corporate CEO,
convinced she is secretly an alien—and the UK's quiet rural
landscapes and subtly surreal settings make their paranoid
worldview feel disturbingly plausible. The main character's
carefully designed house built to accommodate 10,000 bees
contrasts sharply with the sleek offices and mansions of the
corporate world she inhabits. Filmed mostly across Southeast
England with roads and a shopping mall found in Atlanta,
Georgia, the ambitious final vignettes recreate India, the Middle
East, Sweden, Korea, New York, China, Japan and Nigeria
entirely within London before the story reaches its conclusion in
Greece—the blindingly white volcanic rock of Sarakiniko Beach
providing a lunar landscape on which to land its themes of class
divides, corporate greed and the state of the modern world.
F1
An aging former race car driver partners with a young rookie to
revive a struggling Formula One team, testing his mental and
physical endurance across iconic circuits from the British to
the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Blending real races, team facilities
and glamorous off-track locations with a fictional narrative,
the film captures the prestige and intensity of elite motorsport
from within—an embedded crew functioning as an "11th
Formula One team." Given strict windows of up to 20 minutes
to film between rounds, actors drove custom-modified cars
at high speeds in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
Privileged access to the circuit, miniaturized 6K cameras and
special effects combined to achieve an unprecedented level of
authenticity and scale.
