Juan Carlos Fresnadillo used standard 35mm widescreen cameras for almost all of 28 Weeks Later. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, on the other hand, used actors and actresses like Robert Carlyle, The Full Monty and Eragon, and Rose Byrne, Star Wars Episode II and Troy, who had experience with larger films.Īnother main difference between the two movies is the way the directors decided to shoot the movies. In 28 Days Later, Brendan Gleeson was the only character who had previously worked in big-ticket movies such as Mission Impossible II and AI: Artificial Intelligence.

The difference of the two directors is very obvious when comparing the two movies' cast lists. The lead actors, Naomie Harris and Cillian Murphy, also had other commitments. While Danny Boyle was asked to direct the second movie, because of commitments to another movie called Sunshine, he had to decline.

The first major difference is that Danny Boyle, the man in the glasses, directed 28 Days Later, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the man in the black t-shirt, directed 28 Weeks Later. While 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later are two stories with connected plots, there are many differences between the two movies.
