  • Notes
    • The film was announced as part of a planned trilogy, with Alex Garland serving as screenwriter for all three. In January 2025, Danny Boyle confirmed that he would direct the final film in the trilogy.
    • Shot back-to-back with its predecessor.
    • The bone temple set was constructed from around 5500 skulls and 150,000 bones, each of which was individually cast, attached to 1000 ‘uprights’ or columns.
    •  the sequel will continue to explore the corrosive effects of human evil, as well as the relationship between the film’s human survivors and those who have been infected by the franchises central rage virus. “This film is the weird, deranged cousin to ’28 Years Later,’ who you might be a bit of Sheen though because they have weird, questionable interests’ O’Connell said”I don’t think the infected are purely antagonists in our film. It definitely will make you consider that.” DaCosta teased, “it’s so hard to describe the tone of the movie that I actually won’t even attempt to. But it keeps the same unique, off the wall, surprising energy.”
    • Near the beginning of the film, Samson eats a man’s brain. This is a reference to the stereotype of zombies eating brains, which originated with the film “The Return of the Living Dead” (1985) and subsequent films.
    • the film explores themes juxtaposing human violence with innate humanity amid brutality and the infected.
    • the theme of the previous film was about the nature of family, Bone Temple would be about the nature of evil, which would lead the next film to be about the nature of redemption.
