28 Weeks Later

It had wide release here and did fairly well without any American prescence in the movie.

OK, I apologise and retract my statement.

Well, the planes that you see flying about in the film imply that the virus was contained inside the UK (the reports of it spreading to New York etc that the characters mention could be incorrect, or maybe the virus was contained there, etc etc). And seeing as though the US is the world's pre-eminent military power it would make sense for them to be the ones going in.

Or:

It could be that this film is intended to be put on a wide US cinema release (not sure if 28 Days was), and to appeal to a US audience the US army was put into the plot - I cant imagine your average American would be too keen on seeing the French army battling hordes of Zombies. Also, the way the plot looks so far, it could be understood without any knowledge of the previous film - something that would need to be done if it goes on a wide release.

Or both?
