Alrighty, first order of business... get a copy of 28 Days Later on DVD or Blu-Ray and give it a watch, once for viewing pleasure, then again for placements and the like. Not sure if there's a "definitive edition" of the film, but any help with this timeline is appreciated.

Also, I've heard folks online say that the 2009 comic series is no-longer canon, due to the implication that Jim is executed for his part in killing the soldiers in the first movie. In contrast, Cillian Murphy was revealed to be returning as Jim in 28 Years Later. I'll see what exactly happens when I get to the comics.

Lastly, I find it funny that I originally planned to do a Timeline for the CROSSED comic series, and yet I've seen fans of both 28 Days Later and CROSSED come together due to the latest movie giving off vibes akin to the CROSSED +100 storyline.

Obligatory trailers for the movies:

We don't actually see him die in the comic, so ignore them.

Again, I'll judge what is in the comic and make my decision from there.

Preferably blu-ray, since DVD compression makes it shorter because it skips frames.

Unusually it was shot on 720x576 SD video @ 25fps PAL so Blu-ray and NTSC DVD releases are longer (i.e. slowed down, dialogue pitched down etc.)

Noted. I'll see if I can get a copy ASAP.

Also, I just found my old VHS copy of the film among my boxes of stuff that I still haven't sorted out from moving places over a year ago. I'm tempted to watch it on VHS for my first time, then use the Blu-Ray for getting timestamps.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Well, I say MY copy, when I'm pretty sure it was either my late grandfather's or I picked it up from a charity shop. I can't remember.

Checked online. Blu-Ray is 30 bloody quid. Too much for me, honestly.
