Learning Which 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Scene Spike’s Actor Filmed Last Makes It Even More Devastating

by

A particularly meaningful and powerful moment in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is made even more so by the fact that the final scene featuring the actor who plays Spike was actually the last thing he filmed. Although Spike is the primary character in 28 Years Later, in The Bone Temple he shares the focus with Dr. Ian Kelson—and arguably, with Jimmy Crystal, the movie’s villain.

Despite the bleak setting, Spike remains a relatable character in The Bone Temple. Because he’s one of the few genuinely innocent figures, the audience connects with him and experiences the post-apocalyptic world through his eyes. Knowing which scene Spike’s actor filmed last actually enhances a key moment in the 28 Days Later series.

Jimmy & Spike’s Barn Confrontation Was The Last Scene In 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Alfie Williams Filmed

Alfie Williams, who plays Spike in the new film 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, recently told Absolute Radio that the last scene he shot for the movie actually takes place earlier on in the story.

The last scene William filmed involved the tense showdown between Spike and Jimmy Crystal. It happens after Spike fails to rescue the woman responsible for the barn fire. During this scene, Spike genuinely believes Jimmy intends to kill him, regardless of whether Jimmy knows Spike tried to save Cathy and escape with her.

It’s noteworthy that Alfie Williams filmed this scene relatively early in the movie, yet it’s a particularly emotional and low point for his character, Spike – a moment where he feels utterly hopeless.

How The Barn Confrontation Being Filmed Last Changes The 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Scene

Alfie Williams revealed he genuinely cried while filming a scene in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple because it was so intense. This isn’t surprising, as it’s one of the most nerve-wracking parts of the movie. Spike’s life appears to be saved only when Jimmy Ink intervenes and distracts the group’s leader by talking about Kelson, whom she believes is the devil.

Because the actor playing Williams performed in all previous scenes with Spike in The Bone Temple, this scene is particularly powerful. It allows Williams to portray Spike’s emotional breakdown with a deep understanding of how devastating this moment is for the character, knowing it’s one of the worst experiences of Spike’s life.

Interestingly, this scene was filmed relatively late in the production. This allowed the other actors to build on their performances, as they had already shot the climactic confrontation with Jimmy Crystal and his followers in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. They’d also filmed earlier scenes showing Spike and Kelli starting to team up against their unstable leader, and this scene serves as the foundation for that developing alliance.
