  • The Rage Returns: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland Reignite the Virus in “28 Years Later,” In PH Cinemas June 18

    The Rage Returns: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland Reignite the Virus in “28 Years Later,” In PH Cinemas June 18

    A Gripping Return to a World in Ruin

    Two decades since they first shocked audiences with 28 Days Later, legendary director Danny Boyle and acclaimed writer Alex Garland are back—and the infection has mutated. 28 Years Later, the chilling third installment of the groundbreaking trilogy, opens in Philippine cinemas this June 18.

    2 5

    Starring a powerhouse cast led by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and the iconic Ralph Fiennes (The Grand Budapest Hotel), the film catapults us into a bleak yet hauntingly familiar future where survival is a psychological war—and the monsters may not all be infected.

    Holy Island: A False Sense of Sanctuary

    Partially set on Holy Island, a secluded area with a single tidal causeway, the story unfolds in a self-made safe zone—far from the infected mainland. But as always, appearances deceive. “The island and causeway felt like a great starting point for our story,” Boyle elaborates, “because the causeway can be defended when it’s exposed by the tide. A community could thrive. Instead of a post-apocalyptic state, it looks like a town from the turn of the twentieth century. But the mainland then becomes somewhere ‘over there,’ offering both promise and threat.”

    RalphFiennes 28Yrslater

    This eerie isolation magnifies the tension, letting the story zoom in on character behavior, beliefs, and survival philosophies. “With this kind of film we can explore characters by deciding what rules they’re setting and following. It helps define how they think, what they prioritize, and who they are.”y everything about who they are,” Boyle adds.

    Watch the “Imagine” Vignette

    Peek behind the scenes with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland:

    Humanity Under Siege, Again

    For screenwriter Alex Garland, the type of society this infection brought forth feels like an accurate human reaction, mirroring the fact that the plague-ridden Britain is also isolated from the rest of the world. “We considered what the infection would look like,” he remembers. “What happens to the country being quarantined and essentially abandoned by the rest of the world?” 

    He draws from the real world to try and answer those questions. “There’s a kind of ruthless, pragmatic, dog-eat-dog dimension to the ways things play out when a nation collapses. Broadly speaking, people not affected by the collapse ignore it and just go about their lives,” he says.

    3 1

    A Perfect Time for Infection

    For producer Andrew Macdonald, the timing of 28 Years Later couldn’t be more perfect.  “We wanted to make a film with a unique kind of epic scale. Using 28 Years Later to accomplish that has been very exciting. It felt like the perfect time for us to return to the infected,” he says.

    With the rage virus still pulsing through this dystopian vision of the UK, audiences are in for a gripping, emotionally searing ride.

    The Infection Returns This June 18

    28 Years Later is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, the local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

    Meet the Team Behind the Punches: “Karate Kid: Legends” Hits PH Cinemas May 28

    From the creators of a legacy that spans generations, Karate Kid: Legends brings a fresh chapter to the beloved martial arts saga. This time, it’s not just about kicks and katas—it’s about the people who shape a fighter’s journey.

    Li Fong’s Journey: From Beijing to the Big Apple

    When teen martial artist Li Fong (Ben Wang) relocates from Beijing to bustling New York City with his mother, Dr. Fong (Ming-Na Wen), he quickly realizes that a change in scenery doesn’t mean a break from challenges. Faced with a fierce local karate champ, Li finds himself thrown into conflict—but also, into a destiny of epic proportions.

    That’s where Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) come in—two legends, one united mission: to guide Li through a unique fusion of kung fu and karate.

    But legends don’t work alone.

    Mia Lipani: Pizza, Sass, and Heart

    Enter Mia Lipani (Sadie Stanley), the street-smart, no-nonsense New Yorker who becomes the first to welcome Li with an unexpected act of kindness—one that sets the tone for an unforgettable friendship.

    “The key to Mia as a character is she’s grown up in New York, but she’s grown up working in New York, in a pizza shop with her dad,” director Jonathan Entwistle says. “She’s not an uber hipster. She’s not super cool. And Sadie was the perfect person to encapsulate that. She has a little vulnerability and a lot of backbone—she’s a very, very strong person.”

    Stanley herself describes – “Mia is a very sarcastic girl, very headstrong, and very funny,” says Stanley. “And when Li Fong and Mia first meet, he’s overwhelmed with this new reality, this new life. Mia kind of comes in and shows him that first bit of kindness, that support he needs.”ew world.”

    Victor Lipani: The Fighter Turned Father Figure

    Mia’s dad, Victor (Joshua Jackson), is more than a pizza shop owner—he’s a retired boxer with a heart for tough kids and a soft spot for fighters like Li.

    “I grew up in a neighborhood where there were a lot of kids, a lot of parents, a lot of people who weren’t your blood relation,” he says. “It takes everybody to raise kids, right? So as a trusted older male, Victor is there for Ben, because he’s dealing with quite a lot of trauma.”

    For many viewers, Victor’s fatherly role will strike a nostalgic chord, echoing the franchise’s timeless message: it takes a village to raise a hero.

    Dr. Fong: A Mother’s Strength

    Ming-Na Wen steps into the role of Li’s mother, bringing both gravitas and warmth. “To be part of the Karate Kid world, being an Asian American, it’s just different,” she says. “Even though Miyagi is Japanese and I’m Chinese, we have a shared Asian-American experience. It had such an impact on my life, when I was younger watching it.”

    On set, her bond with Ben Wang felt natural. “I told Ben, ‘You’re the perfect son.’ He’s so courteous and soft spoken. And yet there’s like this little wicked sense of humor. I think that the fans are going to fall in love with him!”

    It’s Not Just a Fight—It’s a Family

    Karate Kid: Legends isn’t just about training montages and showdowns (although yes, there are plenty). At its heart, it’s about the people who lift us up, push us forward, and catch us when we fall.

    Whether it’s an uncle with ancient wisdom, a pizza-slinging best friend, or a mother holding the fort—Li Fong’s real strength comes from the team in his corner.

    Don’t miss the next chapter of this iconic saga. Karate Kid: Legends opens in Philippine cinemas on May 28.

    ‘Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza’ Premieres This June

    Maxie is back—and this time, she’s all grown up. Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza marks the dazzling return of one of Filipino pop culture’s most beloved queer icons in a spectacular new immersive production running from June 13 to 22, 2025 at Illumination Studio, Makati City.

    DALAGA NA SI MAXIE SQUARE

    Staged just in time for Pride Month, this bold reimagining of Maxie’s story invites audiences to step directly into her glitter-filled, heartbreak-prone, and fabulously complicated world. Set five years after Maxie the Musical, the sequel follows Maxie Oliveros as she navigates love, identity, and resilience in a world that’s still catching up to her radiance.

    More than just a sequel, Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros is a theatrical experience unlike anything audiences have seen before. Performances unfold in and around the audience, blurring the lines between stage and seat in an intimate, interactive celebration of queer joy, survival, and transformation. Part drag show, part musical, part rallying cry—this immersive production promises to spark dialogue, emotion, and glitter in equal measure.

    The new musical builds on the legacy of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, the 2005 award-winning film that first introduced Maxie to the world. The 2013 hit Maxie the Musical followed, earning acclaim for its exuberant yet tender take on the queer coming-of-age experience. Under special arrangements with the original film makers and Ticket2Me, and line produced by PETA Plus, Maxie returns to reclaim her story—older, fiercer, and more unapologetically herself than ever before.
