Anthrotek was created after one of its co-founders, Dr Raoul Peltier, had a “fascination” for film prosthetics and started making them in his garage.
The original 28 Days Later film, released in 2002, saw Cillian Murphy stumble around London’s deserted streets and landmarks after a zombie virus outbreak. The 28 Years Later instalment, released in 2025, stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes
Tareque said 28 Days Later was one of his all time favourite films and their involvement with Danny Boyle had made a huge difference to their firm.
“When he [Tareque’s co-founder] worked with [Boyle], that created momentum for us to create the whole company so this is very iconic for us and we really love that film.”
