All of the locations used in a Hollywood blockbuster have been revealed, as more details about the release date have been announced, as producers and crew members have confirmed that filming has wrapped up. 

Over 2024, cast and crew of film 28 Years Later; a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, have been seen in Northumberland, County Durham, and North Yorkshire.

According to IMDB: "Originally, the follow-up was set to be titled "28 Months Later", continuing with the movie's timeline-set title motif. However, after so much time had passed since we last returned to this world in 2007 (28 Weeks Later), it was deemed more appropriate to name the film "28 Years Later"."

In images captured of film crews in 2024, trailers at Lindisfarne, Hexham, and now Waskerley, near Consett, in County Durham for the film, which is expected to be released on June 20, 2025.
