After doing everything they can to save Jim's life, Selena and Hannah eventually realize that he is gone, and they despondently leave the hospital together. In this version, the scenes of Selena working on Jim are much longer, and are intercut with a kind of impressionistic "flashback" to the accident which put Jim in hospital prior to the opening of the movie. "Jim Dreams and Dies": The original scripted ending (which is not the ending that exists in the finished film) involved an extension of the hospital scene after Jim, Selena, and Hannah have escaped the mansion. Technically, there have been, at one time or another, 8 possible endings to the film, all of which are included, in way, shape or form, on the DVD. The animation can also be watched here, and its IMDb record is here. An animated version of first chapter of 28 Days Later: The Aftermath is available on both the 28 Days Later limited edition DVD and the 28 Weeks Later DVD. The other scientist becomes infected by a primate along with the members of the liberation group. Later that night, he tips off the animal liberation group about the experiments, before shooting himself in the head. Subsequently, the two scientists have a furious argument and one quits.

However, the graphic novel 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, which begins prior to 28 Days Later, as well as bridging the timespan between the events of 28 Days Later, and 28 Weeks Later, offers more details about the origins of the Rage virus. They do not eat, speak, rationalize, form new ideas or even determine how they will make their next move, instead acting purely on base instincts, and in this sense, they act very much like traditional zombies. But they are mindless drones who act in numbers, rather than individually. With this in mind, "The Infected" are neither the traditional "zonbi" of Haitian folklore, the living-dead of old Hollywood monster movies, nor the Romero-styled re-animated corpses that feed on uninfected flesh. Director Danny Boyle and scriptwriter Alex Garland both feel that the movie does depict zombies, but in a unique way not before seen according to Boyle, "I feel there was respect for the genre, but I hope that we freshened it up in some way" (production notes, archived here). However, the idea of what constitutes a zombie has changed over the years through various forms of entertainment, including movies, TV shows, comic books, video games and more, and the definition is hotly debated among zombie fans.
