28 Years Later's Teen Star Names 1 Scene That 'Creeped Me Out' During Filming
Alfie was just 13 when he shot 28 Years Later and its upcoming sequel The Bone Temple, and as a result, several allowances had to be made on set to protect him from the films' grisly content.
During a conversation with Interview magazine, Alfie was asked if he was 'grossed out' on set, to which he insisted: 'You get used to the infected pretty quick. I think it took a couple of days and then you could kind of ignore it and it was fine after that.'
However, he did say there was one scene that 'creeped me out', involving an 'infected' woman who gave birth on a train.
'It creeped [me] out, but it was beautiful at the same time to see how they're infected, but they're still like us, because they were once humans,' he claimed.
'But I think Danny knew I was mature enough to see things like that. They did try and keep [me] away from it, but they were fine with [me] seeing stuff like that.'
It was previously revealed that, because of Alfie's age, any nudity in the film – most notably from the 'Alphas' – had to be achieved through the use of prosthetics.
28 Years' Later's intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey recently gave an interview with Variety about how the set had to adapt due to Alfie's age.
Vanessa was specifically asked about the birth scene, explaining: 'That was part of the conversation. It was like, which bits does [Alfie] need to see, which bits does he have to watch and which bits can we keep him out of the way.
'But it was an incredible prosthetic that was created for that scene. We had spoken through unmedicated births and what that would look or feel like, just to make it really raw and really realistic. So having a young person witness that – we were really careful about how the conversations were managed.'
Filmmaker Danny Boyle has made no secret of his hopes that 28 Years Later will begin a new big-screen trilogy, the second instalment of which is already slated for release next year.

Good News About The ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' Season 2 Release Date
Cyberpunk Edgerunners CDPR has just announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will return with season 2. This was more or less confirmed before this, but now actual promotion is rolling out for the show, with descriptions, posters and by the time you read this, probably a trailer. If you're thinking you're going to need to wait an extremely long time for this second season, the release date may be a lot closer than you think. CDPR has not given a date, nor a window. However, given the saga that was the release of season 1, we can dig into this. And from what I can tell, it's mostly good news. Here's the timeline: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was announced on June 25, 2020 during a livestream. It was largely forgotten about until closer to release (December 2020 was launch, and its disastrous release was all anyone could talk about). Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered on Netflix on September 13, 2022, about two and a quarter years later. So, are we destined for a fall 2027 launch? Not necessarily. If it's true that Edgerunners season 2 is actually getting a trailer today (it already has promotional art), then we may be much closer to launch than envisioned. The first Edgerunners season 1 trailer wasn't released until June 8, 2022 at a Netflix 'Geeked Week' showcase. That was just four months until launch. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Almost immediately, Edgerunners was a huge hit. It remains one of the best-scoring shows in Netflix history with a 100% critic score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Riot's Arcane used to be up there as well, but season 3 dropped its audience score to an 87%, so Edgerunners practically stands alone on the service. And so, what was once going to be a one-off led to more content. In September 2024, Netflix teased a new Cyberpunk animation project. Now, we know that's Edgerunners season 2. One concern was that animation studio TRIGGER was so busy they wouldn't be available for a while, but it seems they have made time, given that this was an obvious priority. Given all this information I do not believe at all we are in for another 2+ year wait for Edgerunners season 2. If we really do get a trailer, I would guess that maybe this isn't four months away like we saw with season 1, but under a year? I believe it. This is a new group, new story. It's been confirmed the star of season 1, David, is really dead. An open question is whether this will start teasing the events of Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, currently in the works at CDPR. We might know sooner than we think. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Oasis returns after 16-year hiatus to a UK crowd ecstatic for the band's 1990s hits
Oasis ended a 16-year hiatus on Friday with a punchy, powerful trip through one of Britpop's greatest songbooks, kicking off a reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales to a crowd ecstatic for the band's 1990s hits. And was there brotherly love between the famously feuding Gallagher siblings? Definitely maybe. Fans traveled to the Welsh capital from around the world for a show that many thought would never happen. Noel and Liam Gallagher, the heart of Oasis, had not performed together since the band's acrimonious split in 2009. One fan banner summed it up: 'The great wait is over.' After a montage of headlines about the sparring siblings was capped with the words 'the guns have fallen silent,' Oasis appeared on stage to a deafening roar, opening with the apt 'Hello' and its refrain of 'it's good to be back.' The brothers had a brief hand-in-hand moment but largely kept their distance onstage. Noel, 58, focused on his guitar while a parka-clad Liam, 52, snarled into the microphone with a swagger that has not dimmed in the three decades since the band released its first album, 'Definitely Maybe.' A crowd of more than 60,000 in the Principality Stadium was treated to a well-paced two-hour set that drew heavily on the first album and its 1995 followup, '(What's the Story) Morning Glory,' alongside a smattering of later tracks and fan-favorite B-sides. Song like 'Supersonic,' 'Roll With It' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' sounded as thunderous as ever and sparked mass sing-alongs. 'Turn around,' a tambourine-clutching Liam exhorted the crowd before launching into 'Cigarettes and Alcohol,' another classic. 'Put your arms over each other like you love each other.' There was poignancy on 'Live Forever' when an image of Liverpool Football Club player Diogo Jota, who was killed in a car crash on Thursday, was projected above the band. Noel took his turn on lead vocals for several songs, including the touching 'Half the World Away,' and the show ended with encores featuring some of Oasis' most enduring tracks: 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova.' Multicolored, sometimes faintly psychedelic projections formed the main technological accoutrement to a show where the focus was squarely on the songs. There was little banter, though Liam paused between songs to check the audience was having a good time. 'Was it worth the 40,000 pounds you paid for the ticket?' he asked at one point, referring to the scramble for seats that saw some fans pay hundreds to see a show. From the roar of the crowd, it was. The show in Cardiff kicked off a 19-date Live '25 tour in the U.K. and Ireland. Then come stops in North America, South America, Asia and Australia, ending in Sao Paulo on Nov. 23. Before the show, the streets around the stadium filled with fans who gathered in groups to sing along to the band's hits and snapped up Oasis-branded bucket hats at 35 pounds ($48) each. 'It's very, very special — emotional,' said 44-year old Rob Maule from Edinburgh, Scotland. 'I'm here with three of my friends, childhood friends, and we used to see Oasis across the country. 'For us, it's a generational thing. It's a chapter of our lives,' he said. 'And then the second generation, as people are taking their kids. It's really special.' Vicki Moynehan came from Dorchester, in southwest England. She said her life has changed since she bought her ticket almost a year ago. 'Seven months pregnant — ain't gonna stop me,' she said. Founded in the working-class streets of Manchester, England, in 1991, Oasis was one of the dominant British acts of the 1990s, releasing eight U.K. No. 1 albums. The band's sound was fueled by sing-along rock choruses and the combustible chemistry between guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher — a Beatles and glam rock-loving musician with a knack for memorable tunes — and younger brother Liam. Then and since, the brothers have often traded barbs — onstage, in the studio and in interviews. Liam once called Noel 'tofu boy,' while Noel branded his brother 'the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' They long resisted pressure to reunite, even with the promise of a multimillion-dollar payday. Now they have agreed on a tour that sees hem joined by former Oasis members Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Gem Archer on guitar, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Joey Waronker. The announcement of the U.K. tour in August sparked a ticket-buying frenzy, complete with error messages, hourslong online queues, dashed hopes and anger at prices that surged at the last minute. Some fans who waited online for hours at the Ticketmaster site complained that they ended up paying 355 pounds ($485) for regular standing tickets instead of the expected 148 pounds ($202). The ticketing troubles sparked questions in U.K. Parliament, where Arts Minister Chris Bryant criticized 'practices that see fans of live events blindsided by price hikes.' Britain's competition regulator has since threatened Ticketmaster — which sold around 900,000 Oasis tickets — with legal action. No plans have been announced for Oasis to record any new music, and the tour is being presented as a one-off. Music writer John Aizlewood said that it's an opportunity for Oasis to 'tend the legacy' of the band, and remind people of the power of the Oasis brand. 'There should be a sense of huge joy and life affirmation about these shows. And I think if they can just play it right, then that can be a massive burnishing of their legacy,' he said. '(There is) this enduring love for Oasis — and love means money.' Fans were determined to enjoy the moment. 'I'm the oldest sibling of four brothers, so I know they'll fall out,' said Stephen Truscott, from Middlesbrough in northeast England. '(But) the first night, they're going to have an absolute unbelievable blast. It's going to be the best.'

John Leguizamo Asked Daughter 'What Could I Have Done Better?' as a Dad During Movie They Filmed Together (Exclusive)
John Leguizamo is sharing how he reflected on his relationship with his daughter while the two filmed a movie together The actor spoke with PEOPLE and shared that he's hoping to "make up" for the lack of fathering in his own life Leguizamo shares his daughter Allegra and son Lucas with wife Justine MaurerJohn Leguizamo had a moment of reflection with his daughter when they were filming a movie together. The actor, who is gearing up for the second season premiere of his MSNBC travel series Leguizamo Does America, spoke with PEOPLE ahead of the show's release and reflected on his experience filming a movie with his daughter Allegra, 26. The two appeared in Tin Soldier, which came out in May. "My best times with her were just walking around Greece together," the proud dad tells PEOPLE. "Walking around with her and talking about life and asking her big, deep questions like, 'What could I have done better?'" Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "You get these moments with your child and you have to try to go a little deeper when you can," he continues. "Obviously, the superficial ones are great too, but sometimes it's good to just ask some deeper questions, and the questions that my father never asked of me, or maybe the good moments that he did go deeper into that resonate with me for the rest of my life. I try to do that with my kids when I can." The actor went on, candidly admitting that he hopes he's making up for what he didn't have in his life with his own father. "I didn't have great fathering, so I'm trying to make up for the lack of fathering that I got," Leguizamo says. "And I guess I'm probably overdoing it, because as a reaction, you kind of overdo things, but I prefer to overdo than to under." Leguizamo shares daughter Allegra and son Lucas, 24, with wife Justine Maurer. Back in March, the actor opened up about how he felt about his daughter following him into show business. At the time, Leguizamo shared that he's "so proud" of his daughter. "We did this movie with [Robert] De Niro and Jamie Foxx called Tin Soldier, and she had to hold up a gun to me. She's never held a gun in her life," he told PEOPLE. "She had it pointed at me, and it was a crazy moment. It was our first moment on-screen together, and here she is putting a gun to her dad's face. In February 2024, Leguizamo gave PEOPLE an update on how he and his wife spend their days now. Maurer lives in Manhattan, where the actor still performs regularly and she sits on boards focusing on city preservation. Together with their children, they still celebrate their blended worldview. 'I never went to a seder in my life until Justine and I had kids. It was so beautiful,' Leguizamo said. 'So we did seders and then Easter. We would do Christmas and Hanukkah. I think it gave them a strong sense of connection to where they come from," he continued. "You start to see that when you have diversity and a mixed marriage, your wealth is doubled. Our kids felt that — and now live that.' Leguizamo Does America premieres Sunday, July 6, on MSNBC. Read the original article on People
