Most of us were thrilled at the release of the 28 Years Later trailer starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer, that was until its chosen backing track – a poem called Boots by Rudyard Kipling – became ingrained in our brains.<\/p>\n
Two decades after the success of 28 Days Later, and the not-so-successful 28 Weeks Later<\/a>, director Danny Boyle is back for another stab at the zombie apocalypse genre. The film has been a major talking point on Twitter ever since, and not just because it’s become an overnight sensation<\/a> with its own viral zombie<\/a>.<\/p>\n While most films seem to pick a random song with at least some connection to the film’s plot, 28 Years Later went with a 1903 Rudyard Kipling poem from his The Five Nations collection. The poem itself tells the story of British Army infantrymen stationed in South Africa during the Second Boer War between the British Empire and the Boer republics. Naturally, if the first four words of each line are read at the rate of two words each second, that gives the correct marching beat.<\/p>\n
