The fact that he picks up the money in this scene is so great. He knows something is off but he is still completely unaware of the severity of his situation.
This scene gives me the chills. The music is great and what's creepy is that you know the infected are somewhere in that city just roaming around but you never know when they'll pop out.
@FCA1975 for you and everyone in this thread: the band is Godspeed You!

One thing I really admire about this movie is the diversity of camera angles. It helps me feel the depth of how vacant London really is in the story and shot wise. Great stuff.
London is really a great city. The way its built and the overall layout. Very fun to be in, and lots to do. Never boring that city. However, it's been gradually invaded by ungrateful, immoral people who have contributed nothing to the city itself. They've only taken and shown nothing but disrespect while doing it. Absolutely no manners or standards these people have. Showing up in a country, taking everything that society allows for and acting like complete assholes in the process. WTF!
+HerbieCN Indeed. I read it was filmed over a couple weeks from 4am to the morning rush hour where they only had around a dozen or so minutes at a time to shoot parts of the scene. The Police closed down the roads
Well on the bright side least you'd be able to break into Buckingham Palace without all the stupid tourists and guards getting in the way and steal food/water from supermarkets or do whatever you fuck want without the cops tracking you down and beating you to a bloody pulp so it isn't all that bad. Provided you're smart enough to not get killed by the Infected
Fun fact: all of these shots of an empty London were extremely hard for the crew to get because it’s a major city. They had to get up and film extremely early, right at sunrise but before commuters started filling the streets.
It is difficult, that’s one of the first jobs I did in film was as a marshal stopping pedestrians getting into shot. It’s the best job to do to get in to the industry as as you can imagine hundreds and hundreds and needed every week across london.
This scene even 15 years later is so damn brilliant. It makes you feel isolated despite being so big and open. That takes skill as a filmmaker to achieve.
I remember when they filmed this scene. They had parliament and Big Ben area barracaded off so people couldn't get in. I remember the teams of people dumping rubbish on the bridge and cleaning it all up so quickly you couldn't even tell what had happened. Funny thing is just off camera is a crowd of people behind the barracade watching the filming and I was among them!
+Osman Emre It takes about 500 hours for an editor to paint out a single moving thing from a 60 second clip, if they edited the scene they would still be editing today.
Fun fact: Originally there was no soundtrack during this scene. They had to put that slowly rising soundtrack in because later in the scene(not shown here) Jim accidentally activates a car alarm and it almost killed the test viewers from heart attack.
+Son Of Montreal I don't need to "try" and be eloquent, mate, because I don't share your apparent interest in internet one-upmanship. Nor can I agree that a city is necessarily a "depressing sight" unless one interacts with its citizenry. I'm happy to accept that you disagree with my feelings on the matter, but you really shouldn't get so upset over a small disagreement.
Well yeah if you think about it there mostly sleeping waiting for prey to come or roaming the country looking for food. They wouldn’t all stay in the city once all the food is gone.
@Mr. Eddie You are too much on action movies. Suspense is a great element- it all started with an empty hospital leading to an empty city and culminated with a church full of bodies. I swear first time a saw 28 Days Later my heart was beating like a Ford Shelby's V8. 28 Weeks Later is much weaker.
I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to wake up from a coma and find out that the world, as you knew it, had changed so drastically and horrifically.
I've been to London recently, and it made me think a lot about how far Jim travelled around London during this scene. My sister and I visited nearly all the landmarks in this scene and were exhausted walking on foot most of the time - we just relied on the Underground a lot! But it made me think about Jim walking around the city, having just come out of a coma (most likely tired and dazed) wondering what was going on. He didn't have any transport either, and made himself more vulnerable to the infected the entire time. This scene makes me appreciate Jim's confusion and fear more.
as a person who has lived in london the idea of a abandoned london is more than enough to be scary i feel like this scene alone set so much ambience for the rest of the film.
Now....THIS is how you start your post apocalyptic movie off right! No overly dramatic scene of zombies rampaging through the movies location, no lame voice over spoonfeeding the plot to you; just a man, dazed and confused, finding himself in a dead world where he is the population and must traverse this desolate wasteland. This truly is the best scene in a zombie/post apocalyptic film, it shows jsut how bad the infection is and how truly alone Jim is in London, without a single infected un sight. Masterful work.
I hope you don't do this in real life, where you just stumble upon random things which you know nothing about but still feel the need to make critique full of empty, cheap "wisdom" lol. Go and actually watch the movie.
This comment is dumb and I have no clue what I was talking about but it still rings true how masterful this scene is, though inherently you need some kind of build to it before. I am dumb, but I still lagree with that portion.
If I woke up in a hospital and I notice the whole city was deserted, I would literally gear up, because I know something probably has fucked up...you know.
bad Karma curse yeah, i'd probably shit myself. Must be the most terrifying thing ever to happen to somebody. You go into a coma after an accident, wake up in a hospital room and the whole buildings empty, go outside and there's nothing in the streets
I love the fact he's collecting cash thinking he will need it and want it, when the nation said currency is for literally is gone. He's just picking up paper. A great little scene. Both tragic and a little funny
Cambridge is my personal racetrack - I drove to Asda last night, nobody around - testing out my rally skills - lol! Never dipped below 40mph - I'm beginning to like this Covid thing :)
This movie is a masterpiece, an incredible achievement by Danny Boyle, the cast and everyone involved. The first of it's kind and a true original in how it went about presenting the story.
This and the Black Mesa incident are straight arrows into my deepest fears and I love it. i always felt horror genre like stupid bs but this… makes my skin crawl and now I get it

During the first days of the pandemic, when the streets were empty because of stay-at-home orders, I'd drive my car around and play this song. The feeling of a city being vacant and closed mid-morning on a Thursday was wild.

This, to me, is probably the scariest scene in the movie to me now that im an adult. Walking around london one of the busiest cities on the planet is empty and silent
My friend and I drove into London at 5am on the morning of Christmas Day and it was incredibly quiet and eerie. No overturned cars of course, and less rubbish, but other than that it was as close to this sequence as you can get!
Im glad im one of the first commenting this video. I was struck by his performance in this movie. 22 years later, that believe in this character, made me see his talent. Im happy for him, because it reminds me of my childhood, as time has past, ive grown up, ive watched cillian grow older through out his career, but i do remember my lifetime through out all his portrayals. Ive never felt this sensation of success from an oscar ceremony. Bravo Maestro Cillian, Bravo.
If i woke up and saw that. I wouldn't be walking in plain sight neither. I'd be quiet and sneaky and probably steal everything that is food related lol
I think I heard somewhere that their eyes are sensitive to the light which is why they storm the house after seeing a lit candle later in the film and probably why they choose to hide in buildings like the church instead of walking around in the sun
One of the best films ive ever seen, the dread of uncertainty, the not knowing but the adaption’s to his environment later in the movie is just incredible. Acting was a 10/10 and cinematography was also 10/10
+xLord Engiex I'm talking about the character waking up in hospital on his own, discovering an empty city and walking the deserted streets, that has nothing to do with zombies or infected.
It's just so amazing how Danny Boyle could shoot this scene, considering the law wouldn't allow you to walk through it alone for even one day. It was truly a real challenge for him to take time each day of filming to shoot it since he hardly had any time to do so.
Fun fact about this scene is the scene isn't stage or CGI. This scene is shoot -as small movie maker- in real street london Production team only had around 1 weeks and 1 hour each day because they shoot this scene when London three or four in the morning because they need to shoot when no ones around
Vary Syndicate No, on natural instinct and paranoia, I’m skeptical, I’d stay low and quiet and figure out what’s going on! Then probably shoot myself if I found out I was in his universe!
I always thought zombies were funny... this film changed that and had me looking over my shoulder way more often than I wanted too!!! Zombies are not supposed to run, ffs!!
I can’t even consider this a zombie movie being that the infected don’t come back from the dead. No, this movie is basically about a virus that is a cross between Ebola and Rabies.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the film. The cinematography and framing throughout the whole movie is great as well. It’s the primary reason I keep coming back.
Whats interesting about this scene is it parallels with the intro of Day of the Dead (1985) while the guy is screaming Hello on his Bullhorn, i think Danny Boyle had some inspiration from George Romero
Him picking up the money was a pretty nice touch of detail. Little does he know though, London having fallen means that money is absolutely worthless anywhere else.
I honestly can't tell the differences between a chav and a zombie they both dress in dirty old clothes, they both speak a bunch of gibberish and they both try to kill anyone they see but most of the time fail due to their stupidity
"28 Days Later"(2002) is a horror movie masterpiece! This is one of the best and most scariest horror movies of all time! The amazing soundtrack of the movie is atmospheric and very creepy!

There's a video with someone recording footage in London around lockdown with the same iconic places in this scene, it's scary how similar it is.
oppenheimer looking for a place to testing the nuke.
I'm kind of amazed he didn't run into any infected that whole time until he got to the church.
That or any dead bodies lying in the street.
The infected only come out at night.
@@mattchew1095 That's "I am legend".
I think I heard somewhere that their eyes are sensitive to the light which is why they storm the house after seeing a lit candle later in the film and probably why they choose to hide in buildings like the church instead of walking around in the sun
Thinking they already ate everyone and most are starving/low energy by the time he rolls up
Fascinating scene. No CGI. You could genuinely believe London was abandoned.
I wonder where is everybody at that time when they filming this ???
@@aaadj2744 the police blocked of the streets for like 15 min in the morning before rush hour.
Not true. They had to alter the sky to make it look more light and also edit out a lot of planes/boats/cars in the distance
What about the gunshots?
Cillian Murphy is such a good actor!
One of the best films ive ever seen, the dread of uncertainty, the not knowing but the adaption’s to his environment later in the movie is just incredible. Acting was a 10/10 and cinematography was also 10/10
Walking Dead ripped this off big time.
the walking dead did it first in the comic
except the walking dead has zombies, not infected. sooo yeah.
+zomkiller200o Nope. This was shot in 2001, came out 2002. First issue of the Walking Dead came out 2003.
+xLord Engiex I'm talking about the character waking up in hospital on his own, discovering an empty city and walking the deserted streets, that has nothing to do with zombies or infected.
BigMcGee He didn't walk out into deserted streets. The moment he left the hospital he saw piles of dead bodies
When you take a walk on 1st of January
^THIS! except you would still hear fireworks in the distance for at least 2-3 more days....
I don't get the joke krzysiu Rowerzysta
@@jjjsjq new year, everyone is drunk as f... . So you walk empty street when everyone is sleeping
28 days later & 28 weeks later are the only zombie films that genuinely creep me out.
Most realistic
Fr
I Am Legend is good also
@@johnwesleyhuss2327 yeah but I don’t consider them zombies like this
The skyline is so different, hence why I love coming back to this scene.
It's just so amazing how Danny Boyle could shoot this scene, considering the law wouldn't allow you to walk through it alone for even one day. It was truly a real challenge for him to take time each day of filming to shoot it since he hardly had any time to do so.
When most of all the comments start with the word “when”.
You're welcome 🙂
Who’s here after 28 years
Me
I cant get over how eerie that it must’ve felt
Me looking for a girl
Same
Same
Same bro same I feel ya
Yeah...
Hope you found the love you wanted!
Interesting how youtube is recommended this now out of all times
The music in these movies is perfect.
Fun fact about this scene is the scene isn't stage or CGI. This scene is shoot -as small movie maker- in real street london
Production team only had around 1 weeks and 1 hour each day because they shoot this scene when London three or four in the morning because they need to shoot when no ones around
The creepy part was when he entered the church kind of building and said, “Hello?” And a bunch of bodies turn towards him
I sure as hell wouldn't be yelling hello!!!
I wouldn't be walking out in the middle of the road either ... I'd be like " wtf " I'm hiding lol
Meecy Griffin Well duhh because you know there's infected out there. He doesn't!
Vary Syndicate No, on natural instinct and paranoia, I’m skeptical, I’d stay low and quiet and figure out what’s going on! Then probably shoot myself if I found out I was in his universe!
Lei The Socialist Yuricon no body cares
the greatest zombie movie ever made
Joseph Scheidel These aren't zombies tho they are infected zombies die and come back to life these people never die they just get crazed
Yeah the rage virus
Bryan Lenihan yeah but they're basically in the same category
Tвoja_Majka Сmрди Yes and no they are the same but different in so many ways
Bryan Lenihan yeah

i like this comment
this movie reinvented zombies. its the mother of all modern zombie movies.
I always thought zombies were funny... this film changed that and had me looking over my shoulder way more often than I wanted too!!! Zombies are not supposed to run, ffs!!
I can’t even consider this a zombie movie being that the infected don’t come back from the dead. No, this movie is basically about a virus that is a cross between Ebola and Rabies.
I always thought that was Dawn of the dead remake as this is considered more of a 'local favorite'.
No, it's night of the living dead by george romero
@Magos NihilusI hate to be a smartass but this movie came out in 2002 and dawn of the dead remake came out in 2004. So no
I always loved the music that plays in this scene and the whole film. This film had such a good soundtrack
This soundtrack isn't available correct i can't find it and i like it a lot, i know the main theme is there but not this ;c
@@rodrigohg.9292 Its Godspeed You! Black Emperor - East Hastings
Then 21 years later, Murphy would play Oppenheimer which would win an Oscar in 2024. Who would have thought?
For anyone curious, the song is East Hastings by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Still very powerful. Really hits hard and gives you a feeling of loneliness that sends chills.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the film. The cinematography and framing throughout the whole movie is great as well. It’s the primary reason I keep coming back.
It’s the cleanest I’ve ever seen London look.
Whats interesting about this scene is it parallels with the intro of Day of the Dead (1985) while the guy is screaming Hello on his Bullhorn, i think Danny Boyle had some inspiration from George Romero
New comments: because of the coronavirus...
old comments: Imagine waking up and finding yourself in a situation like this.
At least I'd be able to turn a corner without someone bumping into me.
GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR !!! Gosh, this is the scene that made me fall in love with them. Perfect end-of-the-world music \mm/
:)
My mother's cousin plays Corporal Mitchell in this film, imagine my shock when she told me after I watched this!
Him picking up the money was a pretty nice touch of detail. Little does he know though, London having fallen means that money is absolutely worthless anywhere else.
CHRISTMAS 2020 LONDON STYLE
Its not all bad, no more chavs. Things are looking up already.
Then you find out the chavs have been infected. Good thing their chains can weigh them down!
I honestly can't tell the differences between a chav and a zombie they both dress in dirty old clothes, they both speak a bunch of gibberish and they both try to kill anyone they see but most of the time fail due to their stupidity
Fucking chavs, the fucking funniest mistakes of human beings to date.
I do things out of spite LMAOO
I do things out of spite whats a chav?
That shot is so iconic
"28 Days Later"(2002) is a horror movie masterpiece! This is one of the best and most scariest horror movies of all time! The amazing soundtrack of the movie is atmospheric and very creepy!
It sucks
@@bluecricket6157 OH NO SOMEONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION TO ME!!!!! GRRRRRRR!!!! I HAVE TO BULLY THEM AND BE THE MOST BULLHEADED REPLY GUY IMAGINABLE!!!!
@@touchgrass7129 it sucks
@@bluecricket6157 that's your opinion. You're free to have it, but don't say it like it's a fact. Instead try "I think the movie isn't very good"
@@bluecricket6157can we get your perspective on why ir sucks or you just want to an assh@le 🤔
One of the best movies ever in this genre.
