Director Danny Boylehas wrapped production on his next horror thriller 28 years later early this summer. This is the film that will kick off a new trilogy of films with Alex Garland write the screenplay.
We have now learned from Wired that 28 years later It was shot using “a bunch of repurposed iPhone 15s,” specifically the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Speaking about the production, the article says: “…the Hollywood thriller, with a budget of 75 million dollars, [is] the biggest film ever shot with smartphones.”
“Main shots for 28 years later It wrapped at the end of August, and until now the production has kept quiet about the fact that the film was shot on smartphones, asking the crew to sign confidentiality agreements to prevent the disclosure of this detail.”
Wired also reveals: “In addition to using the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the main camera, some scenes in 28 years later were filmed with action cameras attached to farm animals.”
It’s really cool to learn! It’s not the first film shot with a smartphone, but for a big budget film it’s a first.
This is yet another demonstration that if you have a great idea for a film and an iPhone, you can go out and make a film!
Garland previously offered some insight into the film’s theme. She shared, “It has to do with the passage of time and thinking about what the passage of time would do.”
He added: “Is this what you would traditionally call a post-apocalyptic state? Or has something else started to manifest? Time is really at the heart of the film’s engine.”
When previously teasing the third film, Garland said: “I had a really great idea for this, but it’s a much bigger movie, and one of the things about 28 days later is that it was small and punk and this idea is less small and punk.”
The stars of the film Jodie Comer, Cillian Murphy, by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’ConnellAND Ralph Fiennes . The Wonders director Nia DaCosta is in talks to direct the second film.
28 years later will be released in theaters on June 20, 2025, distributed by Sony.
