’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Rated R For Bloody Violence, Gore, Graphic Nudity
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is poised to infect viewers with more carnage — and more zombie dong — next week.
The MPA has given the film an R rating for “strong bloody violence, gore, graphic nudity, language throughout, and brief drug use.”
For comparison’s sake, 28 Years Later was rated R for “strong bloody violence, grisly images, graphic nudity, language, and brief sexuality.”
The fourth installment in the post-apocalyptic horror franchise opens in theaters on January 16 via Sony.
Nia DaCosta (Candyman 2021, The Marvels) directs from a script by Alex Garland (28 Days Later, 28 Years Later).
In the continuation of the epic story, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival — the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world as they know it — and Spike’s encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can’t escape.
Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry star, with Cillian Murphy reprising his 28 Days Later role.
Danny Boyle produces alongside Garland, Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, and Bernard Bellew. Murphy is among the executive produces.
The Bone Temple was filmed back-to-back with 28 Years Later. A third chapter in the new trilogy was officially confirmed last month.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
