Danny Boyle's $75 million film “28 Years Later” will be the first major blockbuster shot on an iPhone.

Future post-apocalyptic British The horror film was shot over the summer using the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the primary camera, as well as additional equipment such as aluminum frames and lens attachments, according to WIRED.

The filmmakers of “28 Years Later” apparently received technical assistance directly from Apple. The film “28 Days Later” is a sequel to the films “28 Days Later” (2002) and “28 Weeks Later” (2007), which tell about the consequences of the zombie pandemic in Great Britain.

< p>The original 28 Days Later was mostly shot in standard definition 480p on a Canon XL-1– a consumer-grade camcorder that recorded data on MiniDV tapes. This was partly due to the need to shoot complex scenes depicting abandoned central London under very limited time, where bulky traditional film cameras would have taken too long to set up.

The unique aesthetic of shooting on digital film has since become an iconic part of the film, so the use of iPhones to film the latest installment in the series seems to pay homage to the original film, which used video cameras. The original film's Oscar-winning cinematographer Anthony Dodd Mantle also returns with Boyle.

Several smaller-scale films have already been shot on the iPhone, such as Sean Baker's Tangerine (2015) and Furious Steven Soderbergh's (2018), but those films were limited releases and low-budget compared to Boyle's upcoming film.

28 Years Later is expected to be the first in a new trilogy of films written by Alex Garland. The star of the first film, Cillian Murphy, is also expected to return. The film “28 years later” will be released on June 20, 2025.
