Synopsis The Bone Temple, in addition to what I call my bedroom is the latest installment in the 28 days later franchise. It picks up almost directly after 28 Years Later leaves off. Spike (Alfie Williams) is forced to prove himself to join the Jimmies, a sadistic cult fashioned after the media personality Jimmy Savile, led by the leader Jimmy Crystal. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) furthers his research into the rage virus and befriends Samson, the Alpha. Review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple I found 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple enjoyable, but not particularly meaty compared to it's predecessor. The humanity and reverence for death found in the last film are spare in this film, which mostly focuses on the chaos brought on by the jimmies, and Dr Kelson's descent into hopelessness. The Script by Alex Garland, is high quality, but unfortunately just feels like a retread of similar story lines in The Walking Dead. Nia DaCosta's Direction is respectful towards Danny Boyle's style established in the previous films in the series, while showing her own style with stylistic flair. The standouts in the film are Jack O'connel, who played Sir Jimmy Crystal, and of course Ralph Fienes as Dr Kelson. O’Connell balances the two sides of portraying a cult leader well. Maintaining a believable facade of delusion and inspiration, while also showing the con-man manipulator that lurks behind the curtains. O'connell takes the great dialogue and makes it come alive through his performance, and is as enjoyable to watch in this as he was in Sinners. Ralph Fienes gets to play around a little more in this film. Instead of the stolid and enigmatic character from the last film, we get to see his humanity, practicality, and loneliness filled out and explored in this film. The best part of the film features him getting to display his own theatrics to the Jimmies, which left me laughing out loud. If you didn't like 28 Years Later because of the lack of zombies, you will be disappointed here as well, they play almost no part in this film with the exception of the tranquilized Samson. Overall it was highly enjoyable, although slightly less so than the last film Score 8/10

We're taking a trip to The Bone Temple this week on Breakfast All Day, but don't worry. Ralph Fiennes has great taste in music, it'll be super fun. Here's what we've reviewed lately: 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This picks up right where Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" left off in 2025, but Nia DaCosta's film is very different: thrilling and terrifying in its own way, but also more somber, but also funny ...? Fiennes is insane here. In theaters. THE RIP. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck lead an all-star cast as Miami cops whose team stumbles upon a massive stash of drug money in this twisty thriller. This is the kind of substantial, mid-budget action movie we used to see a lot of in the '80s and '90s. Streaming now on Netflix. THE SECRET AGENT. We knew we wanted to catch up with Brazil's entry in the Oscar international feature category, and this was the perfect time. It just won Golden Globes for best motion picture - non-English language and best actor for Wagner Moura. We admire it but don't love it as much as our fellow critics do. In theaters. Movie News LIVE! Always a good time on Fridays. Among this week's topics were Kathleen Kennedy leaving LucasFilm; "Dune: Part Three" and "Avengers: Doomsday" competing on Dec. 18, aka "Dunesday"; and Matthew McConaughey trademarking his famous phrase, "Alright, alright, alright."

There is a lot of gore and humanity to be found in this one, with plenty of shocks and surprises. But what did we think of it?

MEETING DIRECTOR NIA DACOSTA & STAR JACK O'CONNELL!! 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Interview – Coy Jandreau sits down with star Jack O'Connell (Sinners) and director Nia DaCosta (Candyman, Hedda, The Marvels) to talk about the bold, unsettling next chapter in the iconic 28 Days Later franchise. From the film's explosive “concert-like” energy to its eerie sense of macabre whimsy, The Bone Temple pushes post-apocalyptic horror into strikingly new territory. Nia DaCosta breaks down her vision for balancing bombast and stillness, contrasting the peaceful, nature-driven world of Kelson with the chaotic, cult-like mythology surrounding Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal. She discusses her fascination with horrifying acts set against beautiful landscapes, the film's heavy use of natural sound and imagery, and how themes of humanity, belief systems, mortality, and coexistence with nature shaped both the tone and visual language of the film. Jack O'Connell dives deep into creating Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, exploring how Alex Garland's precise, lyrical writing informed the character's physicality, voice, and unsettling charisma. He talks about weaponizing iconography, embracing moral ambiguity, and the freedom of playing a character unconcerned with judgment — as well as the collaborative bond formed on set with his fellow cast members during intense night shoots. The conversation also touches on DaCosta's influences, her approach to inheriting and expanding existing cinematic worlds, the idea of shared authorship across trilogies, and how The Bone Temple embraces a darker, more philosophical take on survival, death, and meaning in a world forever changed. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is in theatres NOW!!

Fresh off directing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a bold and unsettling expansion of the universe created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, she turns a familiar horror landscape on its head injecting it with psychological depth, cultural tension, and a haunting sense of humanity.From redefining studio horror with Candyman, to helming one of the most ambitious franchise films in recent memory with The Marvels, her career has been marked by fearless storytelling and an uncompromising point of view.Host: Chalice WilliamsMusic by: SammusEdited by: Jamie Broadnax

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Nia DaCosta, who joins us to discuss her film Hedda, which is streaming now on Amazon Prime as well as other home entertainment platforms. Based on the Henrik Ibsen play, Hedda stars former Soundtracking guests Tessa Thompson and Tom Bateman among a fine cast, and centres around a lavish party in which personal and professional tensions simmer. Hildur Guanodottir's score is predictable fabulous.
Aristocratic chaos agent Hedda Gabler isn't a character. She's a Rorschach test, and has been for over a century now. Since first appearing in 1891 as the puzzling eponymous protagonist of a play by Henrick Ibsen, audiences have stared into at this recently married woman, driven by domestic suffocation into acts of destruction, and found different meanings, reflective of who they are, reflective of their politics and personal struggles. Is she a beacon of feminist freedom, lashing out at the restraints forced upon her by a misogynistic upper class? Is she a tragic figure, numbed then maddened by the spiritual emptiness of a bourgeois life? Or is she more simply put, a monster - someone so bored, she seeks entertainment in the destruction of others?In writer-director Nia DaCosta's new take on the character, starring frequent collaborator Tessa Thompson, she's perhaps all of the above and more – this is a queer retelling that fizzes with intrigue and nuance and a kinda Brat Summer-era celebration of feminine messiness. Today on Script Apart, a podcast about the first draft secrets of great movies and TV shows, Nia joins me to talk about the thematic through line in her work, connecting Hedda with her 2018 thriller Little Woods and her 2023 foray into superhero cinema, The Marvels. We get into her fascination with unconventional women on-screen, the literature in her childhood that led her to Hedda and every important spoiler plot point from this new adaptation.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Recorded live from the auditorium, it's stuffed full of more goodies than your Christmas stocking, including interviews with Nia DaCosta on next year's 28 Years Later sequel The Bone Temple, and Jason Isaacs beamed to us chatting about whatever he was doing in a massive conference centre in New Orleans... Plus reviews of some brand new films you can watch in cinemas and at home this holiday: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery—the latest instalment in the whodunnit franchise that's fast becoming a Christmastime screen staple, starring the fabulously accented Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc and Josh O'Connor as a priest at the centre of the case—alongside the stellar ensemble cast we've come to expect from Knives Out. Plus we've got Goodbye June—the directorial debut from Kate Winslet that sees a dysfunctional family thrown together when their matriarch falls gravely ill at Christmas. The ensemble cast includes Helen Mirren, Toni Colette, Johnny Flynn, Timothy Spall, and Andrea Riseborough, alongside Winslet herself—and its screenplay was penned by her son Joe Anders. Kate Winslet will be joining us for an extended Christmas special interview on the Take—so you'll hear a little sneak peek of that too. And finally, on a less festive note we've got Lurker—a fame and fandom psychodrama about a retail worker who becomes part of a pop star's inner circle. We've got a Christmas cracker edition of the Laughter Lift too (oh you lucky things). Enjoy it, and we hope to see some more of your fabulous faces in the audience next year!

American indie darling director Noah Baumbach joins Simon in the guest spot this week to talk ‘Jay Kelly', his new film starring George Clooney as the titular aging movie star in crisis.

In the meantime, we've got this week's biggest releases reviewed for you right now. First up, ‘Pillion'—whose star Alexander Skarsgård was our guest on last week's show.

When the filmmaker Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple) was growing up, she says she only saw Black women portrayed in one of two ways: either as harmful stereotypes or as noble figures who became one-dimensional in their wisdom and perfection. Nia has dedicated her career to presenting complex and nuanced portrayals of Black women on-screen. Her new movie, “Hedda,” is loosely based on Henrik Ibsen's classic 1891 play “Hedda Gabler,” which features one of literature's most controversial characters. But in this new adaptation, the title character is reimagined as a biracial and bisexual woman in 1950s England. Nia joins Tom Power to talk about the film and what happens when we let people be imperfect.

A leather-clad Alexander Skarsgård is riding into this week's Take as our very special guest. That's because he's here to talk about ‘Pillion', the one-of-a-kind comedy drama where he stars as mysterious BDSM biker Ray. The film follows his unfolding relationship with Colin, a shy small-town boy played by Harry Melling—who you might have heard on the show a few months back chatting to Simon about ‘Harvest'. Colin begins to discover his submissive streak under Ray's dominant hand, as their complex relationship develops. Alexander sits down with Simon to unpack the film—a ‘Dom-Com', as he calls it—and gives us the lowdown on what a Skarsgård Christmas looks like too. Don's miss Mark's review of ‘Pillion' on next week's show. This week we've got his verdicts on three more juicy new releases for you as usual. First up, ‘Sisu: Road to Revenge'--the Finnish action sequel to 2022's ‘Sisu', where seemingly unkillable action man Aatami Korpi goes on a revenge rampage against the Red Army. Plus, Bizarre biblical horror ‘The Carpenter's Son', starring Nicolas Cage going full Nicola Cage yet again—and ‘Wicked: For Good' – the sequel to last year's musical smash spectacle.

We're kicking off the Fall/Winter 2025 season of OnWriting with a roundtable conversation between screenwriters Nia DaCosta, Benny Safdie and Will Tracy, who sat down to discuss their latest projects, the writing process, and more. Nia DaCosta is the writer and director of Hedda, a provocative, modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play in which the titular Hedda Gabler finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life. Benny Safdie is the writer and director of The Smashing Machine, the true story of mixed martial arts and UFC fighter Mark Kerr, whose obsession with greatness made him a legend — and nearly cost him everything. Will Tracy is the writer of Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, in which two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth. --- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews: wgaeast.org/onwriting Follow the Guild on social media: @WGAEast OnWriting is a production of the Writers Guild of America East.

In the new film Hedda, Tessa Thompson plays a woman bored with her dull husband, and who devilishly manipulates the affections of everyone in her orbit. Writer/director Nia DaCosta makes some bold changes in this adaptation of the classic Henrik Ibsen play Hedda Gabler, and sets almost all of the action during a lavish party gone awry. But this is not your grandmother's Hedda. It's sexy, chaotic, and, above all, messy as hell. It's streaming on Prime Video.

Welcome to the Bamgboshe Happy Hour!
In celebration of the release of Hedda on Prime Video, Tessa Thompson joined Perri Nemiroff for a Collider Ladies Night conversation!During their chat, Thompson revisits working on Veronica Mars with Kristen Bell and discusses how Justin Simien's Dear White People was a personal acting game-changer. She also digs into the reality of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and celebrates her longstanding collaboration with Hedda director, Nia DaCosta.Hear about all of that and so much more in this interview!Here's the official synopsis for HEDDA: "A provocative reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, Hedda follows enigmatic newlywed Hedda (Tessa Thompson), who is outwardly composed but hiding a simmering discontent that threatens to explode when the brilliant and charismatic Eileen Lovberg (Nina Hoss) reenters her life. Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, Hedda is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman's refusal to be confined." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
All treats and no tricks for you in this packed Halloween edition of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got: NOUVELLE VAGUE: Richard Linklater recreates the making of the French New Wave classic "Breathless" with a movie that looks like it could have come out in 1960, as well. You don't need to know anything about Jean-Luc Godard, or Jean Seberg, or Jean-Paul Belmondo to enjoy this affectionate and humorous homage, but there are Easter eggs galore if you do. In theaters before streaming on Netflix Nov 14. SHELBY OAKS (With William Bibbiani): Our good friend Bibbs joins in on a review of this horror debut from longtime YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann. It follows a woman investigating the disappearance of her sister, who was a paranormal investigator, in a small Ohio town. In theaters. HEDDA: Tessa Thompson is impossibly charismatic in this bold reimagining of the classic Henrik Ibsen play "Hedda Gabler." Nia DaCosta's adaptation is queer and multiracial in ways that are reminiscent of "Bridgerton." The cinematography and production design are gorgeous, but see it for the clothes alone. Streaming on Prime Video. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: This will end up being a major contender in the awards conversation. Iranian master Jafar Panahi tells the story of several disparate people who come together to abduct and confront the man they believe was their torturer in prison. It's tense and beautifully acted, with an unexpected streak of absurd humor. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!: Our travels have kept us from doing our movie news livestream for the past couple weeks, so it was nice to be together again. Among the topics we discussed were the upcoming "Stranger Things" finale, "Sinners" and "K-Pop Demon Hunters" back in theaters, Osgood Perkins Day, and Francis Ford Coppola auctioning off his watch collection. We're gone next week but back Nov. 14. Thanks for being here! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

"Hedda" is a dramatic adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" written and directed by Nia DaCosta, starring Tessa Thompson in the title role, with Imogen Poots, Tom Bateman, Nicholas Pinnock, and Nina Hoss in supporting roles. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews for its performances, DaCosta's direction, and modern take on the material. Hoss and Bateman were kind enough to spend time speaking with Ema Sasic about their work and experiences making the film. This is followed by my conversation with the film's casting directors, Dez Hamilton and Joe Harris, and concludes with Cody Dericks' interview with the film's composer, Academy Award-winner Hildur Guđnadóttir.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt struggle with the enunciation of one word in particular (you'll have to listen to find out which). Incredibly, it's not 'Howl-o-ween', which is just one of the many things discussed by Chris and his three colleagues of such lethal cunning, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis. They get their teeth into movies in which a main character is ill, talk about the shock revelation that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh had developed a literal Solo movie for Kylo Ren, and review Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nia DaCosta's Hedda, and Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind. Guest-wise, we have a veritable bounty as Helen has a lovely chat with Nia DaCosta, and Chris talks to Jeremy Strong, star of the Springsteen flick; and has a joyous natter about the end of the world with Rebecca Ferguson and Kathryn Bigelow, star and director respectively of A House Of Dynamite, which is now out on Netflix. No timecodes yet, as the guy who writes this blurb has to leg it to a screening. But they're roughly 23 minutes, one hour and three minutes in, and one hour and 38 minutes in. Enjoy!
