28 Years Later Director Answers Your Biggest Question About That Zombie Nudity

28 Years After initially introduces us once more to the grim dystopia imagined by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) and writer Alex Garland (Civil War), a good two-and-a-half decades following the original film’s events. The universe crafted by these creators has undeniably evolved over this period, and not in a positive direction. In the film, we see new and unexpected manifestations of “The Infected,” including the terrifying “Alpha” (Chi Lewis-Parry), an incredibly powerful and seemingly shrewd leader of the zombie horde. 28 Years After confidently suggests that the Alpha could be a game-changing nightmare for the franchise, and perhaps even the entire genre of zombie movies. What’s generating attention about this formidable adversary is his uninhibited nudity!

Indeed, the character “Samson” from the movie “28 Days Later” is creating quite a stir due to his notably large physical attribute, which is frequently on display throughout the film. In many ways, it has become a character in its own right.

For your convenience, I’d like to clarify that the thing you may have come across isn’t genuine. In a conversation with egmr.ru, director Danny Boyle explicitly stated this due to legal restrictions on filming explicit content involving young actor Alfie Williams. Since real private parts couldn’t be shown during filming, Boyle and his team had to creatively address the challenge of using prosthetics for Samson and other characters in the infected group that were both accurate anatomically and practical for action scenes.

According to Boyle’s explanation, our intimacy coordinator made it clear that when a 12-year-old child is present, both male and female genitals must be artificial or fake. This is because the Child Sex Offenses Act would penalize us if we allowed the child to see real genitals (laughs). Therefore, Alfie has to look at entirely false, photo-realistic genitals that are made by a prosthetics company.

The rules of child labor remain strange and nuanced as ever, huh?

Interestingly enough, despite the abundance of male frontal nudity in the movie “28 Years Later“, it remains one of the least surprising or uncomfortable elements within the film. As our review explains (see below), Boyle and Garland delve deeply into the grim possibilities of what a post-apocalyptic world might look like, years after the catastrophe.
