If you happen to had the supply virus, you can create a vaccine. Danny Boyle learn it and he sort of mentioned, ‘Yeah, OK.

It’s simply not that good…’ After which I believed I must be a lot stranger with this, a lot odder, so I made a totally totally different story, which in reality has a ‘Final of Us’ connection. ‘Final of Us’ had such an impression on me.”

    Druckmann in flip mentioned, “I discover it such a praise. […] There’s a direct line between the quick contaminated [in ’28 Days Later’] and the contaminated in ‘The Final of Us.’”
