Those out and about in London on Wednesday, will likely see billboards, posters and promo for the film as set up begins for the premiere.

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new "auteur horror" story set in the world created by 28 Days Later.

It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.

One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway.

When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

What time is the 28 Years Later premiere in London?

The red carpet is expected to kick off at around 5:45pm in Leicester Square. Doors will open at 6pm and the premiere will start at 7pm at Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square.

Today (June 16th), the stars congregated at IET London: Savoy Place for a photo call on the roof terrace.
