Horror follow-up 28 Weeks Later is now filming at London’s Three Mills Studio, so if you should be in the neighbourhood and hear terrible howling and people being torn apart, it’s not just West Ham fans out and about, it’s rage infected zomboids.

And with the production up and funning, the filmmakers – including Intacto director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo – have released the full list of willing victims, er, actors taking part.

Joining the already unveiled Harold Perrineau and Jeremy Renner are the likes of Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, The Wire’s Idris Elba, Imogen Poots, Catherine McCormack and 12-year-old newcomer Mackintosh Muggleton (winner of the All-England Most Likely To Be Teased For That Surname At School League).

The plot picks up the story six months from the original, as America schedules a near-deserted London for a rebuilding and repopulation scheme. But – as you might expect – the rage virus hasn’t skipped town for good.
