Filmspotting #160: 28 Weeks Later / Silent Movie Awards / Top 5 Character Introductions

May 11 (Chicago Public Radio): Back in 2002, "Trainspotting" director Danny Boyle put a new spin on the zombie genre with "28 Days Later." Instead of the stiff-legged, waking-walking dead, Boyle's "zombies" wreaked high-speed havoc thanks to a highly contagious virus called "Rage." "28 Weeks Later" (opens today) picks up where Boyle's film left off ... except with none of the original film's cast or crew. Adam and Sam get infected with a little "rage" themselves and offer split diagnoses on whether the new film is able to sustain the originality of its predecessor.
Also on the show: Filmspotting listeners share their thoughts on Spider-Man 3 -- and prove to be just as dangerous to Spidey as super-villains Sandman and Venom. Plus, Massacre Theatre, the Filmspotting Silent Movie Marathon Awards [aka "The Chaneys"], and this week's Top 5 ... Character Introductions.
Music by Milwaukee's Codebreaker from their new album "Exiled!"

Hi guys, in your 28 Weeks Later review you mention that it was shot on DV. While the original film was, the sequel was shot mostly on 16mm.
Can anyone tell me what music is used in the movie when the father runs off on the mother? The rock guitars and stuff, let me know when you got the answer, my email is vinosec1990@hotmail.com
If you dont know what it mean; it is the same music used in the trailer for I know who killed me.
And its not Muse with Shrinking Universe, that is used in the trailer of 28 weeks later ye, but not in the movie as the father runs off to the water..
Thanks
The name of the song is "In the house - in a heartbeat" by John Murphy.
BTW this song was featured in a short trailer of the movie, which is not easy to come by. That song is not used in the Official Trailer, only in the movie itself.
Cheers to all
