Production wrapped earlier this summer on Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that intends to launch a brand new trilogy. Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the planned 28 Years trilogy, with Garland writing the first movie and Boyle back in the director’s chair to bring the horror to the screen.
On that note, an article over on WIRED this week reveals that 28 Years Later was at least partially filmed with “a bunch of adapted iPhone 15s,” specifically the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
WIRED details in their insightful report on the production, “…the Hollywood thriller, with its budget of $75 million, [is] the biggest movie to date filmed with smartphones.”
“Principal filming for 28 Years Later wrapped at the end of August, and until now the production has kept under wraps the fact that the movie was shot with smartphones, with the staff being asked to signed NDAs preventing the disclosure of this detail,” the outlet notes.
WIRED also reveals, “In addition to using the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the principal camera, some scenes in 28 Years Later were shot with action cams strapped to farm animals.”
28 Years Later arrives in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony.
The horror movie’s cast includes Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black), Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Erin Kellyman (The Green Knight, “Willow”) and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
Cillian Murphy is executive producing and reportedly returning to star.
Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) will direct the second installment in the trilogy.
The original movie in 2002 starred Cillian Murphy and was written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle. In the smash hit horror film, “Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.
