The Filmmakers Podcast Nia DaCosta: Directing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple & Taking Over from Danny Boyle
Director Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) joins Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir to discuss directing the massive horror sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In this deep-dive interview, Nia breaks down the incredible pressure and privilege of taking the baton from Danny Boyle for Part 2 of the new trilogy. She reveals her journey from the Sundance Labs with Little Woods to managing massive VFX budgets, and now returning to practical, visceral horror. We discuss working with legends like Cillian Murphy and Ralph Fiennes, the "social thriller" genre. Topics discussed: Directing 28 Years Later: Part 2 immediately after Danny Boyle. Scripting and outlining. What she does when she gets stuck on a script or as a director. Advice for directors on handling "imposter syndrome" on big sets. Dealing with disappointment and feeling like a failure. Rehearsals and locations and why all directors are different.
