Question: Question about ending of 28 Days Later!? *SPOILER*!?
WARNING-DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!


Last night I watched 28 Days Later for the first time with my friend, I rented the DVD, and someone had told me Jim (Cillian Murphy) died in the end, so unfortunately I thought the movie was ruined for me!.!.!.
But then in the end, he doesn't die!.!.!.and I was confused!. They are rescued by a plane!.
So on the special features, we watched the "Alternative theatrical ending", which he DID DIE in, so I want to know:
When everyone saw it, originally, in theaters, did he die!? And the version I saw was really a different ending!?

Cuz now I'm a little annoyed, like they switched it up on the DVD!.!.!.and I'm just curious!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I saw it at the theater (late July 2003) with both endings!. The ending before the credits show the rescue of all three (Selena, Hannah, and Jim)!. Then after the credits run, the words "What If !. !. !." are on the screen and they show the alternate ending of Jim dying in the hospital!.

The DVD shows it the same way!. Theatrical ending, credits, then alt ending!. (you just saw it, am I right!?)

According to the producers of 28 Days Later, the optimistic ending was in the original script!. Director (Danny Boyle) shot the darker finale but discarded it after negative test screenings!.

from Wikipedia:
On the DVD commentary, Danny Boyle (director) and Garland (writer) explain that this was the original ending of the film's first cut, which was tested with preview audiences!. It was ultimately rejected for seeming too bleak; the final exit from the hospital was intended to imply Selena and Hannah's survival, whereas test audiences felt that the women were marching off to certain death!. Boyle and Garland express a preference for this alternate ending, calling it the "true ending"!. They comment that this ending brought Jim full circle, as he starts and finishes the story in bed in a deserted hospital!.

According to wiki, it was tested to some audiences but then switched for the new one and added after the credits with the words 'what if!.!.!.!.'

Pinkstink; the film's about 5 years old and she put spoiler in the Q!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I saw that movie at the cinema and on DVD and in both they got saved at the end!. After everything the guy went through in the film to survive it would have been a really crap ending if Cillian Murphy got killed at the end :*(Www@Enter-QA@Com

well thanks for ruining the movie for everyone else,Www@Enter-QA@Com
