Jan 4, 2026 4:01pm PT The Alpha Zombie Returns: Chi Lewis-Parry on Adding Depth to Samson in ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ and Why Dancing With Ralph Fiennes Was ‘The Most Fun I’ve Had Naked’ By Alex Ritman Plus Icon Alex Ritman @alexritman Latest Disney+ Acquires ‘Brown Bread,’ Directorial Debut of Shaunagh Connaire, Former Exec at George and Amal Clooney’s Justice Foundation (EXCLUSIVE) 3 days ago Idris Elba Knighted in U.

On top of an English hill, surrounded by woods — and potential danger — Ralph Fiennes‘ blood-and-iodine-smeared skull collector Dr. Ian Kelson sings Duran Duran’s sun-drenched ’80s smash “Rio” while dancing hand-in-hand with Samson, the film’s hulking, mutated and entirely nude lead Alpha zombie.

Key Highlights

  • Related Stories Mickey Rourke Starts GoFundMe to Avoid Eviction from Los Angeles Home: 'Fame Does Not Protect Against Hardship' It’s a peculiar, not to mention hilarious sight, not least for a gory genre film.
  • But for anyone who saw Sony Pictures’ “28 Years Later,” the scene marks a remarkable development for Samson — played by 6’8″ actor and former MMA fighter Chi Lewis-Parry — best remembered as “King of the Infected” in the first outing and a ferocious monster with a penchant for ripping heads off with spines still attached (and then swinging them about like a flail).
  • DaCosta’s movie — in cinemas Jan.
  • 16 — is a wholly different beast to Danny Boyle’s, with wildly new characters and storylines, but it’s the personal growth of Samson — and his budding bromance with Dr.
  • Kelson — that offers one of its main talking points.
