28 Years Later Cult Reference Sparks Debate

28 Years Later Cult Reference Sparks Debate

The new movie 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has people talking because of a costume trend inspired by a character in the film.

This character, Sir Jimmy Crystal, is dressed in a flashy tracksuit and wig, which some people think is a reference to a real person named Jimmy Savile.

Savile was a famous TV host in the UK, but after he died, people found out he had done very bad things.

In the movie, the character is part of a cult, and this has made some people uncomfortable, especially in the UK.

In the US, where people don't know much about Savile, they think the costumes are just fun.

The movie's director says the reference is meant to show how people can remember the past wrongly and how evil can hide in plain sight.
