Jodie Comer does not look like Jodie Comer for her new role in 28 Years Later.
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are currently directing the much anticipated sequel to beloved horror film 28 Days Later, which was released in 2002 and starred Cillian Murphy as he navigated a post-apocalyptic world.
Northumberland – a rural county straddling Newcastle Upon Tyne to the south and the Scottish border to the north – has received an injection of Hollywood as stars have descended on its quiet countryside over the past few months.
Filming has already taken place on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the north Northumberland coast, and now looks to have moved inland for some further scenes.
While we were aware the Killing Eve actress, 31, was starring in the new film as a Geordie we almost didn’t recognise her in these pictures, as the makeup team appear to have been busy ageing her by about 20 years.
Pictures from filming show Prima Facie star Jodie wearing a disheveled outfit consisting of a baggy beige fabric coat and a checkered shirt on top of a floaty floral dress.

The bizarre get-up looks kind of creepy against Comer’s character’s tattered hair and seemingly fraught state, as a young boy is also pictured starring in the hillside shots.
Jodie can be seen clutching her head and looking as though things are pretty bleak in this particular part of the script.
The Liverpudlian stars alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Erin Kellyman and Jack O’Connell for the sequel.

Known for her expert accents, Jodie has reportedly been taking inspiration from Girls Aloud star Cheryl’s Newcastle twang in order to master her character’s voice.
According to an interview with ELLE UK, Jodie has watched old X Factor episodes to get it right.
‘I’m excited to get the first day done,’ she told the publication last month of her new role.
‘Danny just seems like such a confident, intuitive and intelligent director. The original was so loved, so I’m trying not to think of that too hard. I’m not putting too much expectation on myself.’
